Isikhumbuzo sokuchasa imfazwe ngokukhuthaza uxolo

NguKen Burrows, World BEYOND War, NgoMeyi 3, 2020

Embindini kokulwa ngemikhosi yase-US e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq, Isiphoso Iphepha elinye lalinenqaku elalinomxholo othi “Kutheni le nto kungekho ntshukumo yeAntiyokwe?” Umbhali, uMichael Kazin, ngelinye ixesha wathi, "Zimbini iimfazwe ezinde kakhulu kwimbali yaseMelika azinalo uhlobo lwenkcaso, kunye nogcino oluzinzileyo oluye lwavela malunga nayo yonke enye ingxwabangxwaba e-United States ibilwelwe kwiinkulungwane ezimbini ezidlulileyo.

Ngokufanayo, Allegra Harpootlian, ebhalela Wesizwe Ngo-2019, kuqatshelwe ukuba abantu baseMelika bathathe isitrato ngo-2017 beqhankqalaza amalungelo abo abekwe esichengeni kunyulo nokusungulwa kukaDonald Trump, kodwa “bengekho kwimeko yokuzibophelela kwabahlali, ngaphandle kweshumi elinesiqingatha leminyaka. iimfazwe ezitshabalalisayo ... yayiyindlela yokulwa nemfazwe. ”

UHarpootlian wabhala: “Ungajonga ukusilela komsindo woluntu, kwaye ucinga ukuba akukho mbutho ulwa nemfazwe.”

UHarpootlian uthe abanye ababukeli bathi le nto yokungahambisani nezinto ezenziwa yimfazwe yaziva ingenamsebenzi into yokuba iCongress iyakuhlala ithathela ingqalelo izimvo zabantu abebephethe umlo, okanye ukungakhathali okubanzi ngemicimbi yemfazwe kunye noxolo xa kuthelekiswa nemicimbi efana nokunakekelwa kwempilo, ukulawula umpu, nolunye uluntu Imiba, kunye notshintsho lwemozulu. Abanye bacinge ukuba izizathu ezongezelelekileyo zokungakhathali zinokuba zezomkhosi oqeqeshekileyo namhlanje-oshiya ubomi babanye abantu bungafundwanga kwaye nenqanaba elongezelelekileyo lemfihlakalo kubukrelekrele nezixhobo zasemkhosini ezigcina abemi ngakumbi ebumnyameni malunga nokuphuma kwemikhosi exhobileyo xa kuthelekiswa ngamaxesha angaphambili.

Ukuzisa imbeko kulwamkelo loxolo

UMichael D. Knox, olwela intshabalalo emfazweni, utitshala, ugqirha wezengqondo, kunye nombhali, ukholelwa ukuba sikho nesinye isizathu — mhlawumbi esona sizathu sokuba konke-kwinqanaba eliphantsi lokulwa. Kwaye ayisiyo into evele mva nje. Kungenxa yokuba akuzange kubekho ukwamkelwa okufanelekileyo kwendima ebalulekileyo yemfazwe edlalwa ngumgaqo-nkqubo, uluntu kunye nenkcubeko, kwaye akukaze kubekho ntlonipho ifanelekileyo kwaye kunconywa nakwabo bavakalisa inkcaso yabo ngokungavumiyo ukufudumala.

I-Knox isemishini yokuyilungisa loo nto. Uyile izixhobo zokusebenza ezizisa esidlangalaleni. Ziyinxalenye zeprojekthi enkulu ebandakanya injongo yokungena kweSikhumbuzo soxolo lwaseMelika, ngokufanelekileyo kwikomkhulu lesizwe, ukuhlonipha nokubhiyozela abagqugquzeli bemfazwe, ngokuthelekiswa nendlela uninzi lwezikhumbuzo ezikhoyo ezenza ngayo kwiimfazwe ezahlukeneyo kwimbali yaseMelika. namagorha abo athandazayo. Okungakumbi koku ngokufutshane.

U-Knox ucacisa intandabulumko esisiseko kunye nembali yomzamo wakhe ngale ndlela.

"EWashington, DC, ukujonga iSikhumbuzo seVietnam yeVietnam, iSikhumbuzo samaVoti eMfazwe yaseKorea, kunye neSikhumbuzo seMfazwe yesibini seLizwe sikhokelela umntu ngendlela engagungqiyo ekugqibeni ukuba imizamo yemfazwe okanye imisebenzi ixabiseke kakhulu kwaye yavuzwa luluntu lwethu. Kodwa akukho zikhumbuzo zesizwe apha zokudlulisa umyalezo wokuba uluntu lwethu lukwaxabise noxolo kwaye babona abo bathabatha inyathelo lokuchasa imfazwe enye okanye ngaphezulu. Akukho siqinisekiso sasesidlangalaleni semisebenzi yempi yemfazwe kwaye akukho sikhumbuzo sokusebenza njengesixhobo esinokuxoxwa ngokubhekisele kwimizamo yoxolo yomzamo ngabantu baseMelika kwiinkulungwane ezidlulileyo.

“Uluntu lwethu kufuneka luzingce ngabo balwela ezinye iindlela zemfazwe njengoko kunjalo kwabo balwa iimfazwe. Ukubonakalisa eliqhayiya lesizwe ngenye indlela ebonakalayo kunokubakhuthaza abanye ukuba baphonononge ubhengezo loxolo ngamaxesha apho kuphela kuvakala amazwi emfazwe.

"Ngelixa ukoyikeka kunye nentlekele ephawula ukuba imfazwe ayisoloko iyinxalenye yokusebenzela uxolo, nangona kunjalo ngemfazwe, ukumela uxolo kubandakanya ukuzibophelela, inkalipho, ukukhonza ngentlonipho, nokuzincama, njengokuzincekisa nokuzonwabisa. emgceni 'eluntwini naseluntwini, nditsho nokubanjwa kuvalelwa entolongweni ngezenzo zomlo. Ke ngaphandle kokuthatha nantoni na kwabo balwa iimfazwe, iSikhumbuzo soxolo yindlela yokufumana ulungelelwaniso kwabo basebenzela uxolo endaweni yoko. Udumo olufanele ukwenziwa ngabaphembeleli bemfazwe kunye nokuhlonela iinzame zokudala uxolo.

Uthintelo lwemfazwe lufanele ukuqatshelwa

I-Knox iyavuma ukuba imfazwe ibonakalisa ngokwembali izenzo ezibonisa ukuzimela kunye nokuqokelelwa kunye nokuzincama phakathi kobundlobongela kunye nentlekele. Iyaqondakala ke into yokuba kukhunjulwe izikhumbuzo zokuvuma iimpembelelo zomlo obalulekileyo kwaye kuhlonitshwe ukuzinikezela kwabathathi-nxaxheba kwizizathu ezazithathwa njengezinomdla kwisizwe sethu. "Ezi zikhumbuzo ziyaqaphela ezoyikekayo, zibulalayo, kwaye zihlala zinobugorha bemfazwe, nto leyo ibangela uhlobo lwesiseko esibonakalayo kunye neemvakalelo ekwakhelwe kuzo izikhumbuzo zemfazwe," utshilo uKnox.

"Ngokwahlukileyo, abantu baseMelika abayichasayo imfazwe kwaye baxhasa ezinye iindlela ezizezinye, izisombululo ezingavisisaniyo kwiimbambano zinokuthi ngamanye amaxesha zincede ukunqanda okanye ukuphelisa iimfazwe, zithintele okanye zinciphise inani labo lokufa nentshabalalo. Kungathiwa ngabaphikisi bemfazwe babandakanyeka kuthintelo, ukudala iziphumo zokonga ubomi, iziphumo ezingaphantsi kakhulu kunokubangela imfazwe. Kodwa ezi zithintelo azinawo amandla emfazwe okuvuselela iimvakalelo, iyaqondakala ke into yokuba isilumkiso soxolo asinamandla. Kodwa ukwamkelwa kufanelekile ngenxa yoko. Amandla afanayo enzakala kukhathalelo lwempilo apho uthintelo lwezifo, olusindisa uninzi lwabaninzi, engaxhaswa kakuhle ngemali kwaye engaqwalaselwa, ngelixa amayeza eguquko kunye notyando olukhulu olunefuthe lokusindisa ubomi kubantu nakwiintsapho zabo badla ngokubhiyozelwa ngokufanelekileyo njengobuqhawe. Kodwa ngaba ezo zothintelo azinazo iziphumo ezibi kakhulu? Ngaba nabo abafanelwe kukudumiswa? ”

Uqukumbela ngelithi: “Kwinkcubeko exhasa ukufudumeza nokuhlonela ubushushu, intlonipho egqithisileyo yokwenza uxolo kufuneka ifundiswe kwaye ilandelwe. Isikhumbuzo sesizwe sabenzi boxolo sinokukunceda ukwenza oko. Inokutshintsha imeko yethu yenkcubeko ukuze ingaphinde yamkelwe ukubiza abo bathetha ngokuchasene nemfazwe yase-US njengabantu baseMelika, abachasene nomkhosi, abanganyanisekanga, okanye abangathandani nezwe. Endaweni yoko baya kwaziwa ngokuzinikela kwabo kwizinto ezintle. ”

Isikhumbuzo soxolo siqala ukubakho

Ke uKnox uqhubeka njani malunga nezinto azenzayo ezamkela uxolo? Uququzelele i-US Peace Memorial Foundation (i-USPMF) ngo-2005 njengesambulela somsebenzi wakhe. Uzinikele ngokusisigxina kuwo ngo-2011 njengomnye wamavolontiya ali-12. Isiseko sibandakanyeka kuphando, kwimfundo nasekuqokeleleni ingxowa-mali rhoqo, ngenjongo yokukhumbula nokuhlonipha izigidi zabemi base-US / abahlali abathe babhengeza uxolo ngokubhala, ngokuthetha, ngoqhankqalazo, kunye nezinye iintshukumo ezingenasidima. Injongo kukuchonga imizekelo yoxolo enganiki imbeko yexesha elidlulileyo kodwa nokukhuthaza izizukulwane ezitsha ukuba zisebenzele ukuphelisa imfazwe kwaye zibonise ukuba i-United States ixabisa uxolo kunye nokungathathi cala.

I-USPMF ibandakanya izinto ezintathu ezahlukeneyo ezisebenzayo. Bazi:

1. Shicilela Registry Peace Registry. Ukuqulunqwa kwe-Intanethi kunika ulwazi ngokuthe ngqo ngokuziphatha, ngamaxwebhu axhasayo, ukuthethelela koxolo lobuqu kunye nemibutho yemfazwe. Amangenelo ayajongwa kwakhona kwaye aboniswe ngokupheleleyo phambi kokuvunywa ukuba afakwe yiBhodi yaBalawuli ye-USPMF.
2. Bonga ngonyaka Ibhaso loxolo lase-US. Eli bhaso livuma abona bantu baseMelika babalaseleyo abathe babhengeza esidlangalaleni ukudibana kunye nokusebenzisana kwihlabathi liphela ukusombulula iingxaki zamanye amazwe endaweni yezisombululo zomkhosi. Abagqatswa abaphumeleleyo baya kuba beme ngokuchasene nongenelelo lomkhosi njengokuhlasela, ukuhlala, ukuveliswa kwezixhobo zokubulala, ukusetyenziswa kwezixhobo, izoyikiso zemfazwe, okanye ezinye izinto ezisongela uxolo. Abamkeli bexesha elidlulileyo babandakanya iiVeterans for Peace, CODEPINK Abasetyhini ngoXolo, u-Chelsea Manning, uNoam Chomsky, uDennis Kucinich, uCindy Sheehan, nabanye.
3. Ekugqibeleni uyilo, yakha, kwaye ugcine Memorial Peace Memorial. Olu lwakhiwo luzakubonisa izimvo zomzabalazo weenkokheli ezininzi zaseMelika-imbono ezo imbali ihlala ingayikhathaleli-kwaye ibhale kunye nokulwa kwempi yaseMelika. Ngetekhnoloji eya kuvumela uhlaziyo lwemfundo oluqhubekayo, iya kubonisa indlela abantu abaphambili nabangoku abaye bayiphakamisa ngayo imfuno yokudala uxolo kunye nokubizwa ngokuba yimfazwe kunye namalungiselelo ayo aya kuthandabuza. Uyilo lokwenziwa kweSikhumbuzo lusekwinqanaba lokuqala lomzekelo, kwaye kuqikelelwa ukuba ukugqitywa (kakhulu) kusekwe ngoJulayi 4, 2026, umhla obonakalayo. Oku, kunjalo, kuxhomekeke kwizinto ezininzi, kubandakanya ukuvunywa kweekhomishini ezahlukeneyo, impumelelo yengxowa mali, inkxaso yoluntu, njl.

Isiseko sizibekele ixesha lesine lokulinganisa iinjongo kwaye senza inkqubela kuzo. Zimi ngolu hlobo lulandelayo:

1. Amalungu akhuselekileyo avela kuwo onke ama-50 (86% ephunyelelweyo)
2. Bhalisa amalungu asisiseko ayi-1,000 100 (abo banikele nge-40 yeedola okanye ngaphezulu) (abangama-XNUMX ephumelele)
3. Qokelela iiprofayili ezili-1,000 25 kwiRegistry yoxolo (XNUMX% iphumelele)
4. Khusela i- $ 1,000,000 kwiminikelo (13% ephunyelelweyo)

Intshukumo ye-antiwar yama-21^st ngenkulungwane

Kumbuzo ophakanyiselwe ukuvulwa kweli nqaku-Ngaba kusekho intshukumo yomlo eMelika? -Knox unokuphendula athi ewe, ikhona, nangona inokwenziwa ibe namandla ngakumbi. "Enye yezona ndlela zisebenzayo 'zokulwa', uKnox ukholelwa ukuba," kukubonisa ngokubonakalayo nangokubona 'ukuxhasa uxolo'. Kungenxa yokuba ngokuqonda nokuhlonipha amalungelo oxolo, ubutshutshisi bemfazwe buye bamkeleka ngakumbi, buqina, kwaye buhlonelwa kwaye buzibandakanya ngamandla. ”

Kodwa i-Knox iya kuba yeyokuqala ukwamkela ukuba umngeni uyothusa.

“Imfazwe yinxalenye yenkcubeko yethu,” utshilo. Ukusukela oko sasungulwa ngo-1776, i-US ibiseluxolweni ngeminyaka engama-21 yethu engama-244 kuphela. Khange sidlule kwishumi elinye singakhange silwe uhlobo oluthile lwemfazwe kwenye indawo. Ukususela ngo-1946, emva kweMfazwe Yehlabathi II, alikho elinye ilizwe eliye labulala abanye abantu ngaphandle kwemida, ixesha apho i-US yaphosa iibhombu kumazwe angaphezu kwangama-25, kuquka nemipu engaphezulu kwe-26,000 kwinto nje enye. unyaka. Kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo, iimfazwe zethu ziye zabulala abamsulwa, kuquka abantwana, kwizizwe ezisixhenxe ezingamaSilamsi. ” Ukholelwa ekubeni amanani ewodwa kufuneka abe nesizathu ngokwaneleyo ukunika ingqwalaselo enkulu kwisenzo soxolo kunye nokuchasana okuyimfuneko okunikezelayo.

U-Knox uthi ukuchasana nemfazwe kumele ukuba kujongane nemeko yengqondo “yomlo” obonisa inkcubeko yethu. “Ngokujoyina umkhosi oxhobileyo,” utshilo, “umntu unikwa ngokuzenzekelayo isikhundla sokuhlonipha nembeko kungakhathaliseki ukuba bangobani okanye banantoni na, okanye bangenanga. Amagosa amaninzi abalekela kunyulo acacisa imvelaphi yawo yasemkhosini njengemfaneleko yokubamba isikhundla sobunkokeli. Abo bengengabo abemfazwe kaninzi kufuneka bakhusele ukuthanda ilizwe labo kwaye babanike nesizathu sokuba bengayi emkhosini, into leyo ethetha ukuba umntu akanakubonwa njengongenalo uthando ngaphandle kwengxelo yasemkhosini. ”

"Omnye umba obalulekileyo wenkcubeko kukuba ukwazi ngokubanzi iimpembelelo zethu zokufudumeza akulunganga. Asifane sifunde malunga ne-impiriyalizim, umkhosi, kwaye kwezinye iimeko ubuhlanga obuhamba nomsebenzi wethu wemfazwe. Xa impumelelo yasemkhosini ixeliwe, singeva malunga nokubulawa kwabantu okungekho sikweni, ezinjengezixeko kunye nezixhobo ezibalulekileyo ezibekiweyo, abahlali abamsulwa bajike baba ziimbacu, okanye abahlali nabantwana babulawa kwaye benzakaliswa kulonto iphantse yabizwa njengento engenabungozi.

“Kananjalo abantwana bethu e-US abafundiswanga ukuba bacinge okanye baphikise ngezi mpembelelo zitshabalalisayo okanye baqwalasele ezinye iindlela ezinokubakho emfazweni. Akukho nto phakathi kwezikolo eziphakamileyo okanye eziphakamileyo kwisikolo soxolo okanye ngenani labantu baseMelika abaye babonakalisa ukungangeneleli emkhosini kwaye ngenkalipho babhenela kuxolo. ”

I-Knox igxininisa kuthi nangona kunjalo sinamandla okuthatha inyathelo kunye nokuzisa utshintsho. “Ngumbandela wokutshintsha inkcubeko yethu ukuze abemi abaninzi bakhululeke ukuthetha. Singakhuthaza isimilo soxolo, sichonge iimodeli ezinokuthi sizilingise, sinciphise iimpembelelo ezimbi kukubhengezwa koxolo kwaye sibuyisele endaweni yokuqinisa okuqinisekileyo. Nangona singenakuze simgxekise nakubani na okhusele imida yethu kunye namakhaya kuhlaselo lomkhosi welinye ilizwe, kufuneka sizibuze lo mbuzo: Ayisiyo nje ukuthanda ilizwe, nokuba kunyanzelekile, ukuba abantu baseMelika bathathe inxaxheba eluxolweni kwaye babhengeze ukuphela Ngaba kukho iimfazwe? ”

U-Knox uthi: "Ukuqinisekisa uhlobo lokuthand 'izwe ngokuhlonipha amalungelo oxolo, yenye yezona zinto ziphambili eziphambili ze-US Peace Memorial Foundation."
