Pentagon yakaburitsa yayo ripoti yegore negore nguva pfupi yadarika nezvekuzviuraya muchiuto, uye zvinotipa nhau dzinosuwisa kwazvo. Kunyangwe vachishandisa mazana emamirioni emadhora muzvirongwa zvekumisa dambudziko iri, mwero wekuzviuraya kwemauto anoshanda-eUS akasimuka kusvika pa28.7 pa100,000 muna2020, kukwira kubva pa26.3 pa100,000 gore rapfuura.
Iyi ndiyo yakakwira mwero kubvira 2008, apo Pentagon payakatanga kuchengeta zvakadzama zvinyorwa. Mune joint statement, Munyori wemauto eU.S. Christine Wormuth naGeneral James McConville, mukuru wemauto, akataura kuti "kuzviuraya kunoramba kuri chinetso chakakosha kumauto edu," uye vakabvuma kuti havana nzwisiso yakajeka yezviri kukonzeresa.
Zvichida ivo vanofanirwa kunyatso tarisa pamhedzisiro yekudzidziswa, kubata ruoko, uye kushandisa majaya nemhandara kuuraya vamwe vanhu. Pave paine zvisingaverengeki nyaya dzekutambudzika zvinokonzerwa nemaitiro aya.
Sei vazhinji veAmerica vachigamuchira izvi semubhadharo wekuchengetedza chengetedzo yenyika? Takatemerwa pfungwa nehomwe dzakadzika uye simba rakapararira remauto nemaindasitiri sezvakafanotaurwa naMutungamiri Eisenhower kunyarara kwekutaura in 1961?
Vazhinji veAmerica vanofunga kuti kupira hutano hwepfungwa uye hupenyu hwevarume nevakadzi vedu muchiuto ingori mutengo wekuchengetedza United States. Vamwe vanofira pasi, vamwe pagungwa, vamwe mumhepo, uye vamwe vanozotora hupenyu hwavo. Asi isu tinonyatsoda here kupira hupenyu hwevanhu vazhinji, munyika ino uye mune dzimwe nyika, kuti tirambe takachengeteka, takasununguka? Hatigone kuwana nzira irinani yezvinangwa izvi?
Vatsigiri ve demokarasi mubatanidzwa tenda kuti tinogona kubva ku mutemo wesimba, iyo inovimba nechibairo chehupenyu, kuna simba remutemo uko kunogadziriswa matambudziko mudare redzimhosva.
Kana iwe uchifunga kuti izvi hazvigoneke, funga chokwadi chekuti, pamberi, panguva, uye mushure mekumukira kweAmerica, inotaura kuti yakaumba United States yakaita kurwa nehondo. George Washington ainetseka zvakanyanya pamusoro pekugadzikana kwerudzi pasi pehurumende isina kusimba yepakati yakapihwa neZvinyorwa zveConfederation, uye nechikonzero chakanaka.
Asi, pakatemwa bumbiro uye nyika ikasimuka kubva kumubatanidzwa kuenda kumubatanidzwa, nyika dzakatanga kugadzirisa makakatanwa avo pasi pesimba rehurumende yemubatanidzwa kwete panhandare yehondo.
Muna 1799, semuenzaniso, yaive iyo nyowani yemubatanidzwa hurumende inogutsa yakagadzirisa gakava repakati nepakati iyo, pamusoro pemakore makumi matatu emakore, yakanga yatanga kuita kurwa kweropa pakati pemauto kubva kuConnecticut nePennsylvania.
Uyezve, tarisa nhoroondo ye European Union. Mushure memazana emakore ekurwa kunorwadza pakati penyika dzeEuropean nyika, European Union yakagadzwa nechinangwa chekugumisa hondo zhinji dzakadeura ropa pakati pavo idzo dzakaperera munjodzi yeHondo Yenyika II. Kunyangwe iyo European Union isati yave mubatanidzwa wenyika, kubatanidzwa kwayo kwenyika dzaimbove nharo kwakaisa hwaro hwemubatanidzwa uye yanga ichibudirira zvinoshamisa mukumisa hondo pakati payo.
Unogona here kufungidzira nyika inogadzirisa matambudziko ayo mudare redzimhosva pane kupwanya hupenyu hwemamirioni evarume nevakadzi? Fungidzira matanho aya kwairi.
Kutanga, tinoshandura United Nations kubva kumubatanidzwa kuenda kumubatanidzwa wenyika dzine bumbiro rinovimbisa kodzero dzevanhu dzese, inodzivirira nharaunda yedu yepasi rose, uye inorambidza hondo nezvombo zvekuparadza kukuru.
Ipapo isu tinogadzira epasirese masangano anodiwa kumisikidza nekusimbisa mutemo wepasirese neruramisiro. Kana mukuru wehurumende atyora mutemo, munhu iyeye anosungwa, otongwa, uye kana akawanikwa aine mhosva, anoiswa mutirongo. Tinogona kupedza hondo uye, zvakare, chengetedza kururamisira.
Ehezve, isu tichazoda cheki uye zviyero kuona kuti hapana nyika kana mutungamiri wezvematongerwo enyika anogona kutonga mubatanidzwa wenyika.
Asi isu tinogona kuita kuti nyika ive nzvimbo iri nani pasina kudzidziswa, kubata zvombo, uye kushandisa majaya nemhandara kuuraya vanhu veimwe nyika uye, nokudaro, tichisiya varwi vedu kuti vatarisane nemhedzisiro, kusanganisira kwete kufa chete panhandare yehondo, asi kushungurudzika kwepfungwa uye kuzviuraya.
