Hurumende yeUS yakatora mhuri kubva pamba payo, mabasa, zvikoro, neshamwari, ikavharira nhengo dzayo dzese, ndokutanga kuraira nhengo dzemhuri yechirume dzezera chairo kuti vapinde muchiuto cheUS vaende kuhondo.
Uyu wanga usiri mwedzi wapera. Makanga muri muna 1941. Uye hazvina kungoitika zvega. Mhuri yacho yakanga iri yemadzitateguru echiJapan, uye kupfigirwa kwacho kwaiperekedzwa nokupomerwa kwokuva zvisikwa zvisingaoneki asiwo kuva vatengesi vasina kuvimbika. Hapana chimwe chazvo chinoita kuti chigamuchirwe kana kusakosha. Kukoshera kwacho kunoratidzwa nekubvunza mibvunzo mupfungwa yauchangobva kuverenga musoro wenyaya uri pamusoro. Mhuri yacho yaibva kumaodzanyemba kwemuganhu here? Vaiva maMuslim here? Vaiva vokuRussia here? Miitiro yakaipa uye yekushungurudza yave iripo kubva kare kusati kwaitwa kushungurudzwa kwevaJapan-America munguva yeHondo Yenyika II, uye zvichiripo nhasi.
Vhiki rino, iyo New York Times, yakaburitsa mashoma mafoto matsva kubva kuGuantanamo uye vakati kuti ichi chaive chinhu chitsva, kunyangwe vanhu vaive nemakumi emakore vaona mapikicha akafanana uye ane mukurumbira chaizvo evasungwa muorenji kuGuantanamo, varatidziri vaive vakapfeka orenji vakaisa mafoto acho pamaposta makuru, varwi vehondo veUS vaive vakapfeka orenji. Magandanga akanga ati ari kuita maererano nekutsamwa kwakaitika kuGuantanamo. Ehe, mumwe munhu anongoda kugadzira mabhatani kune iyo New York Times webhusaiti, asi hapana kana mutongo wekudzima zvinotyisa kana kuzvibata sezvisina kujairika.
Kudzokera kumhuri muCalifornia. Memoir ichangobva kuburitswa naYoshito Kuromiya, ine nhanganyaya yaLawson Inada, Nhanganyaya naEric Muller, uye yakagadziriswa naArthur Hansen, ine zita. Beyond The Betrayal: Memoir yeHondo Yenyika II Japanese American Draft Resister yehana.. Kuromiya anorondedzera kuti mhuri yake yakabvutwa sei kubva kuhupenyu hwayo muCalifornia ndokuiswa mumusasa uri kunze kwewaya ine minzwa muWyoming. Mumusasa, vachena - uye saka vanovimbika uye vanoyemurika - vadzidzisi vakaraira nhengo dzechidiki dzeboka rakaderera pamusoro pekubwinya kweBumbiro reMitemo yeUnited States uye rusununguko runoshamisa rwainogadzira. Uye Yoshito akarairwa kupinda muchiuto cheUnited States ndokuuraya kana kufa muHondo Yenyika II (vanhu vakazara nokuvimbika hazvidiwi).
Sezvo zita rebhuku richipa, Yoshito Kuromiya akaramba. Vazhinji vakaramba pamwe chete, uye vazhinji vakateerera pamwe chete. Pakava nekukakavadzana kukuru, sezvaungafungidzira. Munhu angaenda kundouraya nokufira muupenzi hunotyisa hwehondo here? Uye munhu anofanira kudaro here kuhurumende inokubata sezvakaita iyi? Izvo hazvina kumbobvira zvakajeka kwandiri, uye pamwe hazvina kumbobvira zvave kune munyori, kunyangwe aipokana nehondo dzese. Anonyora nezvekuti kungadai kwakaipa sei kutora chikamu. Anonyorawo kuti angave akabatanidzwa mukuponda kusina musoro mune mamwe mamiriro ezvinhu. Asi iye zvakare, makore gare gare, anoratidza kutsigira kwake kuramba kwaEhren Watada kutora chikamu muhondo yeIraq. Pamwe iwawo, zvakare, aingova mamiriro asina kunaka. Asi Kuromiya anonyora kuti anozvidemba kuti haana kugadza panguva yeWWII kodzero yepamutemo yekuramba hondo, uye haakwanise kunge asingazivi kuti kurova kwakaipisisa kusangano rehondo kungadai kwakave kwakadii. Uyewo haaigona kunge asingazivi kuti akanga aramba hondo chete yehondo dzisingaverengeki dzeUnited States mumakore apfuura 75 makore ayo vanhu vazhinji vanozoedza kudzivirira sezvakanaka.
Memoir yaKuromiya inotipa mamiriro ezvinhu. Anorondedzera kutama kwevabereki vake uye matambudziko asati asvika WWII. Anoti aigara ari muhurombo, asati avharirwa nemagadhi nemafenzi. Mushure mehondo, anotsanangura kudzoreredzwa kwezvinhu, nendege chena kubva munharaunda idzo maJapan maAmerican akakwanisa kupindamo. Anorondedzerawo kusiyana kwemaonero pakati pevasungwa, uye pakati pevarindi. Anotsanangura jeri riri muWashington State kwavakaendeswa iye nevamwe vairamba kupinda muchiuto nechikonzero chehana, kusanganisira zvakanaka zvaro, uye kusanganisira varindi vejeri vaizogaramo kwenguva yakareba kupfuura vasungwa.
Kuromiya nevamwe vake vaimupikisa vakaenda kudare ndokutongwa nemutongi ane rusaruraganda, uye vakazove netarisiro yemutongo wakanaka wakapera nekuregerera kwaTruman kwevanopikisa. Hurumende yeUS yakazobvuma kukanganisa kwayo mukuvharira mhuri dzese idzi. Pane chiyeuchidzo muWashington, DC, vachipika kuti havachazviita zvakare. Asi hurumende haisati yambobvuma kuti pane chakaipa pakunyorwa kwebumbiro. Muchokwadi, dai zvisiri zvevaRepublicans vanoita zvepabonde, maDemocrats angadai atowedzera vakadzi kuti vanyore kunyoresa. Kana kuti hurumende yeUS, sekuziva kwangu, haina kubvuma pachena chero chinhu chakashata pamusoro pekuvharira vanhu vobva vavanyora. Muchokwadi, ichiri kurega matare edzimhosva kupa vasungwa sarudzo yemauto pane chimwe chirango, vanorega vabvakure varambidzwe vagari vemunyika kunze kwekunge vapinda muchiuto, zvinoita kuti chero munhu ashaye mukana wekudzidza kunze kwekunge apinda muchiuto kuti awane mari yekukoreji, uye ngatiitei. vana vanokurira munzvimbo dzine njodzi zvekuti mauto anoita senge sarudzo yakachengeteka.
Nhoroondo yaKuromiya yezvaakatarisana nazvo haisi iyo yauchaverenga muchikoro-bhodhi-yakatenderwa nhoroondo yezvinyorwa. Iko kupupurira kwemunhu wekutanga kwezvakaitika pasina kudiridzwa nehukuru hwehugamba hweFDR kana huipi hwese hwevaNazi. Uyewo pfungwa dzaKuromiya dzisina kunaka hadzisiyirwe. Anoshamisika kuti sei maGermany-neItaly-America asina kubatwa semaJapan-America. Anoziva kuti hurumende yeUnited States yakatora matanho ekupinda muhondo neJapan, ichisiya muverengi achizvibvunza kuti kukwanisa kuona zvakapfuura dzimwe propaganda, tisingatauri kukwanisa kuona vanhu veJapan sevanhu, zvingave zvakakonzera zviito zveKuromiya. - uye kushamisika kuti kugona kwakafanana kungave kwakarevei kana kwakapararira.
