NaKathy Kelly, Kurume 19, 2020

Zvirango zveUS kuzorwa neIran, zvakasimbiswa zvine utsinye muna Kurume wa 2018, ramba uchienderera nechirango chevanhu vese vari munjodzi. Parizvino, iyo US "yakanyanya kudzvinyirira" mutemo inodzikisira zvakanyanya basa reIran kuti rirarame nekuparadzwa kweCOVID-19, zvichikonzera kuoma nenhamo apo zvichikonzera kupararira kwedenda. Musi waKurume 12, 2020, Gurukota rinowona nezvekunze kweIran, Jawad Zarif, vakakurudzira nyika dzenhengo dzeUN kuti dzigumise kurwa kwehupfumi kuUnited States.

Vachitaura nemunyori mukuru weUN, Antonio Guterres, Zarif akarondedzera kuti masanction ehupfumi eUS anodzivirira sei vanhu veIran kuti vaunze mishonga inodiwa uye zvekurapa.

Kwemakore anopfuura maviri, neUS ichishungurudza dzimwe nyika kuramba kutenga mafuta eIrania, vekuIran vakanetsana nekuderera kwehupfumi.

Hupfumi hwakaparara uye huwori huri kuramba hunowanda manje hwafambisa vafambi nevapoteri, vanosvika mamirioni, kudzokera kuAfghanistan pamwero wakawedzera.

Mumavhiki maviri apfuura chete, kupfuura 50,000 MaAfghan akadzoka kubva kuIran, achiwedzera mukana wekuti nyaya dze coronavirus dzizvire muAfghanistan. Makumi emakore ehondo, kusanganisira yekupinda nechisimba muU.S. kumira Afghanistan hutano hwehutano uye nzira dzekugovera chikafu.

Jawad Zarif anokumbira UN kudzivirira kushandiswa kwenzara uye chirwere sechombo chehondo. Tsamba yake inoratidza kuparara kwakakonzerwa nemakumi emakore eUnited States imperialism uye inoratidza matanho ekuchinja kupaza iyo United States war muchina.

Munguva yehondo yeUnited States ya1991 "Dutu reDenga" neIraq, ndaive mumwe weGulf Peace Team, - pakutanga, ndichigara mu "musasa werunyararo" wakagadzwa padyo nemuganhu weIraq neSaudi uye gare gare, zvichitevera kubviswa kwedu ne Mauto eIraq, muhotera yeBaghdad iyo yaimbogara vatapi venhau vakawanda. Kuwana tapureta yakasiyiwa, takanyungudutsa kenduru pamupendero wayo, (iyo US yakanga yaparadza zviteshi zvemagetsi zveIraq, uye mazhinji emakamuri ehotera aive akasviba). Takabhadharisa ribhoni yekunyora tapureta nekuisa pepa red kabhodhi pamusoro pezvinyorwa zvedu. Vakuru veIraq pavakaona kuti takwanisa kunyora gwaro redu, vakabvunza kana taizonyora tsamba yavo kuna Secretary General weUN. (Iraq yaishungurudzika kunyangwe vakuru vevashandi vekanzuru vaishaya maribhoni.) Tsamba kuna Javier Perez de Cuellar yakakumbira UN kuti idzivise US kubva kubhomba mugwagwa uri pakati peIraq neJorodhani, nzira chete yekubuda kwevapoteri uye nzira chete yekubatsira vanhu. zororo. Yakashungurudzwa nekubhomba uye yatoshaiwa zvekushandisa, Iraq yaive, muna 1991, gore rimwe chete muhutongi hwehutongi hwakauraya hwakagara kwemakore gumi nematatu US isati yatanga kurwisa nekupinda zvizere muna 13. Zvino, muna 2003, maIraq achiri kutambura kubva pahurombo, kusimuka nehondo nemoyo wese zvinoda kuti veUS vazvidzidzise uye vasiye nyika yavo.

Tiri kurarama munguva yemvura here? Utachiona husingamisike, hunouraya hunofuratira chero miganhu iyo US inoedza kusimbisa kana kutsvakazve. Iyo United States yemauto-maindasitiri akaomarara, ane arsenals makuru uye masimba ane utsinye ekukomba, haina basa kune "chengetedzo" zvido. Sei US, panguva ino yakakosha, ichifanira kuenda kune dzimwe nyika nekutyisidzira uye kumanikidza uye kufungidzira kodzero yekuchengetedza kusaenzana kwepasirese? Kuzvikudza kwakadaro hakutombovimbisa kuchengetedzeka kwemauto eUnited States. Kana iyo US ikaramba ichizviparadzanisa nekurova Iran, mamiriro ezvinhu achawedzera muAfghanistan nemauto eUnited States akamira ipapo anozopedzisira ave munjodzi. Iko kucherechedzwa, "Tose tiri chikamu chemumwe," kunova pachena.

Izvo zvinobatsira kufunga nezve kutungamira kubva kuvatungamiriri vekare vakatarisana nehondo nematenda. Chirwere cheSpain flu muna 1918-19, pamwe nehutsinye hweHondo Yenyika I, yakauraya mamirioni makumi mashanu pasirese, 50 muUS Zviuru zve mukoti vakadzivakanga vari pa "mberi," vachiendesa hutano. Pakati pavo paive navanamukoti vatema avo vasina kungoisa hupenyu hwavo panjodzi kuti vaite mabasa etsitsi asi vakarwisawo rusarura uye rusaruro mukutsunga kwavo kushandira. Vakadzi vakashinga ava vakagadzira nzira yekuti vanamukoti vatema gumi nevasere vashande muHondo Mukoti Corps uye vakapa "shanduko diki mukuenderera mberi kwesangano rehutano hwakaenzana."

Muchirimo cha1919, Jane Addams naAlice Hamilton Ndakaona kusarongeka kwakanangana neGermany kurwiswa nemauto eAllies mushure meHondo Yenyika I. Vakaona "kushomeka kwakanyanya kwechikafu, sipo nezvipatara" uye vakanyora nehasha pamusoro penzira iyo vana vairangwa nayo nenzara nekuda kwe "zvivi zvevakuru."

Nzara yakaramba ichienderera kunyangwe mushure mekuvharwa kwekupedzisira, iro zhizha, nekusaina Chibvumirano cheVersailles. Hamilton naAddams vakataura kuti denda rechirwere ichi rakawedzera sei pakupararira kwenzara uye nekuparadza kwapashure pehondo, zvokanganisa chikafu. Vakadzi vaviri ava vakaita nharo gwara rekugovera chikafu zvine musoro zvaidikanwa kune zvese zvevanhu uye zvikonzero zvine hungwaru. "Chii chaigona kuwanikwa nekushaya vana nzara?" vabereki vechiGerman vakavhiringidzika vakavabvunza.

Jonathan Whitall inotungamira Yekubatsira Kuongorora kweMedecins Sans Frontières / Vanachiremba vasina Border. Ongororo yake ichangoburwa inomutsa mibvunzo inoshungurudza:

Iwe unofanirwa sei kushamba maoko ako nguva dzose kana usina mvura inoyerera kana sipo? Iwe unofanirwa kuita sei 'kugarisana nevamwe' kana uchigara musheya kana muvapoteri kana musasa weguta? Iwe unofanirwa kugara sei pamba kana basa rako richibhadhara neawa uye richida kuti uratidze? Iwe unofanirwa kumira sei kuyambuka miganhu kana uchitiza kuhondo? Unofanirwa kuongororwa sei # COVID19 kana chirongwa chehutano chichivanzika uye iwe usingachakwanise? Vaya vane mamiriro ezvinhu ehutano vasati varipo vanofanirwa kutora nzira dzekudzivirira sei pavanenge vasati vatotadza kuwana kurapwa kwavanoda?

Ini ndinotarisira kuti vanhu vazhinji pasirese, panguva yekupararira kwe COVID-19, varikufunga zvakaoma pamusoro pekupenya, kusaenzana kuuraya munharaunda medu, hameno kuti zvakanakisa sei kutambanudza zvirevo zvehushamwari kune vanhu vanoshaya vachikurudzirwa kuti vatore kusurukirwa uye kuremara munharaunda. Imwe nzira yekubatsira vamwe kurarama ndeyekusimbirira United States kuti ibvise masanctions kuIran uye panzvimbo payo kutsigira zviito zvekuchengetwa. Batana kusangana necoronavirus uchivaka ramangwana rine hunhu pasirese pasina kutambisa nguva kana zviwanikwa pakuenderera kwehondo dzine hutsinye.
