Kudzoka mu1890 avo avo vaitenda kukunda nyika yakange ichiuraya zvakakwana (pasina kutora Hawaii, Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, nezvimwewo) yaisanganisira Mutungamiri weimba Thomas Reed. Akachera imwe nyaya kubva pepanhau pamusoro pe lynching muSouth Carolina. Akachera musoro mukuru pamusoro pe "Imwe Kuzvikudza muCubha." Akaperekedza vaviri vacho pamwe chete (nhau dzinonyengera!) Ndokubva avapa Congress Congress wokuSouth Carolina uyo akanga achida hondo kuCuba. VaCongress vakanyatsoverenga nyaya yacho, ndokumira, vakatarisa, uye vakati "Sei, iyi haisi Cuba."
Ndinokurudzira kuedza izvi kunyengera. Chikamu chinyorwa pamusoro peIsrael kuuraya vePalestine, kana kuti kushungurudzika mujeri reUnited States kana nzvimbo yeSaudi kana pasi pemvura yemabhomba evanhu muAfghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Libya, kana kune imwe nzvimbo; nyora pasi apa musoro weIran, North Korea, Bashar al Assad, kana Vladimir Putin. Ratidzai kune munhu ari pedyo neChishanu nhengo yako kana senator iwe waunokwanisa kupinda muimba imwechete kana kuti kusvika ne email. Kana kungozviratidza kune mumwe munhu ane dambudziko kuti ave neterevhizheni.
Kuvhiringidzika kunofanirwa kunge kushorwa nekuda kwezvavari, kwete nekuda kwevanozviita. Nhanho yakanaka yekuwana iyo kuti ive mamiriro muUnited States nhasi!
Heino zvakanyatsobva mubhuku rangu idzva, Kurapa Kunze kwekuda:
Mukusarura kwemarudzi, sevamwe mukusarudzika kose, "isu" tinofanira kutora munhu wekutanga-zhinji muhupenyu hupenyu huripo kwemazana emakore, kuitira kuti "takarwa neBritish" uye "takakunda Cold War." Izvi kuzviratidza, kunyanya kana kusanganiswa nekutenda mune hukuru hunoshamisa, zvinoita kuti mutendi atarise zvinhu zvakanakisisa "isu" takazviita, uye kure nezvinhu zvinonyadzisa "isu", kunyange zvazvo isu pachedu iye haafaniri kupiwa chikwereti nekuda kwekare kana kuti mhosva yekupedzisira. "Gweta renyika," akanyora kudaro George Orwell, "kwete chete hazvibvumirwi nehutsinye hwakaitwa neavo, asi ane unyanzvi hunoshamisa hwokusava nekunzwa nezvavo."[I]
Pa peji 1 yebhuku reCheneys: "Takavimbisa rusununguko, kuchengeteka, nerunyararo kune chikamu chikuru chevanhu kudarika kune imwe nyika inowanikwa munhoroondo yose."[Ii] Kutaura kwakadaro, sezvino pano, kazhinji haisi pasi patsika kana kutsanangurwa. Muchirevo chechirevo chinotevera, izvozvi zvinoratidzika zvichienderana nekuongorora kweHondo Yenyika II sekusimudzira rusununguko nerunyararo, uye pane nhoroondo yeHondo Yenyika II iyo inodzinga chikamu cheshumba chehondo dzeAllies muEurope iyo yakanga yaitwa neSoviet Union.
Kutaura kuti "isu" tiri vatungamiri vorugare uye rusununguko runogona, zvechokwadi, zvakare kubva muhondo dzeUnited States uye zvombo zvekugadzira kubva muHondo Yenyika II. Zvechokwadi, kana munhu wose achirwa hondo dzakawanda uye achibudisa zvombo zvakawanda anounza rugare rukuru uye rusununguko kunyika, zvino United States inotora musoro wacho. Asi kunze kweUnited States, pfungwa iyi iri kure neyakagamuchirwa zvachose-yakasiyana zvachose. Nyika dzakawanda dzakaongororwa muna December 2013 naGallup akadana United States mukuru chityiso kune rugare munyika.[Iii] Ongororo yakaitwa naPew muna 2017 yakawana zvakafanana.[Iv]
Kubvira panguva yeHondo Yenyika II, pane izvo zvidzidzo zvevamwe vekuAmerica zvinofunga nezvechirwere chendarama, hurumende yeUnited States yakauraya kana kuti yakabatsira kuuraya vamwe vanhu vane mamiriyoni e20, yakaparadzwa zvishoma nehurumende ye36, yakapindira mune zvisarudzo zvishoma zveZimbabwe, yakamboedza kuuraya 84 vatungamiri vedzimwe nyika, uye vakasiya mabhomba kuvanhu vari munyika dzinopfuura 50.[V] Hondo yeUnited States inodhura zvakawandisa semamwe mauto emunyika yose akabatana, nepo maU.S., nhengo dzeNATO, uye avo vanobatana navo vanoverenga nezvemativi matatu emadhora emunyika. US zvombo zvekutengesa zvinoshamisa munzira yekufambisa vamwe vose, asi zvakanyanyobatanidzwa maererano nemitero yevashandi. IUnited States, sezvakataurwa pamusoro apa, seC2017 yakapa zvombo uye mumatambudziko akawanda kudzidziswa ku73 muzana yenyika udzvinyiriri.[vi] Zvechokwadi zvinokwanisika kuwana mitsara yakanaka kubva kune imwe yeizvi, asi kunzwisisa kwakanyatsoona kunoda kuyera zvakanaka kune zvakaipa. Ndiyo nyika iyo inokundikana kukoshesa zvose izvi zvepurisa pasi rese zvakagadzirwa neboka re ingrates? Kana kuti mapurisa anonyanya kukanganisa here?
Kudzivisa kutsoropodzwa kwenyika, kana kuzvifungidzira pamusoro pe "isu," zvipingamupinyi zvinobvumira kuti rupo rushande sechifukidzo chechipiri. Chii chingave vaAmerica vachifunga kana rumwe rudzi rwaifanira kuita rusununguko rwaro-kusimudzira pasi pose? Izvozvo ndizvo zvaizova maitiro e "rudzi rune simba." Heano nhamba yezvigaro zvehondo munyika iyo iri kunze kwemiganhu yenyika dzavo:[vii]

Muna 2007, mutungamiri weEcuador akaudza United States kuti inogona kuchengetedza hwaro wayo muEcuador chero bedzi Ecuador inogona kuva imwe muMiami, Florida.[viii] Mhedziso iyi, hongu, isingadi uye yakashata.
Kubva kuUnited Nations '18 huru dzekodzero dzevanhu, United States inhengo ye5, shomanana kupfuura imwe nyika ipi zvayo pasi pano, kunze kweBhutan (4), uye yakasunganidzwa neMalaya, Myanmar, neSouth Sudan, nyika yakabvamburwa nehondo kubvira zvisikwa zvaro mu 2011.[ix] Isangano reUnited States rinoshanda semutemo wepasi rose kune imwe nzvimbo kunze kwemitemo yenyika here? Kana zvimwe chimwe chinhu chiri kuitika?
Kuti United States yaita chimwe chinhu haifaniri kuenzanisa kana kupikisa chinhu ichocho. Zviito zvinofanira kumirira kana kuwira pane zvazvo zvakakodzera. Asi maCheneys anotiudza kuti tinofanira kuona "mutsauko wezvetsika pakati pezvombo zvenyukireya zveIrish uye imwe yeAmerica." Tinofanira here, chaizvoizvo? Zvimwe zvinokonzera kuwedzera kupararira, kushandiswa kwechinhu, kushandiswa nemutungamiri anonyengera, kufa kwevakawanda uye kuparadzwa, njodzi yezvakatipoteredza, kudzorera kwekudzorera, uye apocalypse. Imwe yenyika mbiri idzi ine zvombo zvenyukireya[x], akashandisa zvombo zvenyukireya[xi], yakapa imwe yacho zvirongwa zvezvombo zvenyukireya[xii], ine chirongwa chekutanga-kushandisa zvombo zvenyukireya[xiii], ine hutungamiri hwekutonga zvigadziriswe zvombo zvenyukireya[xiv], uye kazhinji kakatyisidzira kushandisa zvombo zvenyukireya[xv]. Handifungi kuti chokwadi ichocho chingaita zvombo zvenyukireya mumaoko eimwe nyika zvishoma nezvishoma tsika.
Kana iwe uri kunetseka, vatungamiri veUnited States vakagadzira pachena kana kuti pakavanzika zvigetsi zvenyukireya kune dzimwe nyika, izvo zvatinoziva, zvakasanganisira Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, George HW Bush, Bill Clinton, naDonald Trump, nevamwe , kusanganisira Barack Obama, vakagara vachitaura zvinhu zvakadai se "Zvose zvinoshandiswa zviri patafura" maererano neIran kana imwe nyika.[xvi]
