Isimangalo sikaRonald Reagan sibuyele e1984 ukuba "umlo wenyukliya awunakuphumelela kwaye awusoze walwa" kubonakala ngathi bamkelwe jikelele kwezopolitiko e-US nakwamanye amazwe. Inqanaba lentshabalalo eliza kubangela ukuba lenze ukuba kungenzeki kwiinkqubo zonyango ukuba ziphendule ngokufanelekileyo kwaye zikhokelele kutshintsho lwemozulu kwihlabathi liphela. U-Reagan uqhubeke wathi: "Ixabiso kuphela kumazwe ethu amabini anezixhobo zenyukliya kukuqinisekisa ukuba azisayi kusetyenziswa. Kodwa ke ngekhe kubengcono ukuba ubahlukanise kwaphela? "
Kwiminyaka engama-30 kamva, umdibaniso wokuvalelwa kwenye indawo — amandla zenyukliya alithoba nezixhobo ezigcinwe zikulungele ukusetyenziswa ukuze zingasayi kuze zisetyenziswe-kude azisonjululwa. Ngeli xesha i-9-11 igobe iingcinga zethu malunga nezoyikiso zenyukliya ezinokubulala. Ukuba nempahla yethu enkulu neyahlukeneyo yezixhobo zenyukliya akusayi kumthintela umntu ongqongqo. Uloyiko lwaba namandla kangangokuba lwashukumisela kungekuphela nje ukoyikeka okukhulu kweearhente zokuqokelela ulwazi kodwa kunye nokubulawa nokutshutshiswa. nantoni waba nelungisa, kubandakanya iimfazwe ezigidigidi zeedola, ukukhusela umchasi olubi ekufumaneni izandla zabo nge-nuke.
Ngaba zikhona izinto ezinombane apho iinkqubo zenzelwe ukuthintela ukuthembeka okungathandabuzekiyo kunye naphakade zingena kwindawo entsha yokwahlulwa kwesithintelo? Umzekelo du safari yiPakistan, apho urhulumente obuthathaka egcina uzinzo-siyathemba-ukuthintela ibhalansi yemikhosi yenyukliya ngokuchasene neIndiya. Ngexesha elifanayo iPakistan ihlala kunye nabantu abagqithayo abanokudibana novelwano olunokubakho kwiinkonzo zomkhosi wasePakistan kunye nezobuntlola. Oku kugxila kwiPakistan kungumxholo. Isenokungalunganga. Isixhobo senyukliya sinokuwela ngokulula kulawulo lukarhulumente kwimimandla efana neCaucasus okanye-ngubani owaziyo? -Kunye kwisiseko sase-US apho bekukhuseleka khona. Inqaku leli kukuba uloyiko lwezinto ezinjalo lujika iingcinga zethu njengoko sizabalaza ukuphendula kwinyani yokwenyani yokuba ukuthintela inyukliya kungathinteli.
Ukubona iziqhamo zokoyika ngokupheleleyo kumema ukubona inkqubo ngexesha lonke, kubandakanya nexesha elizayo. Impikiswano eqhelekileyo yokuba isithintelo senyukliya isigcine sikhuselekile amashumi eminyaka iqala ukuwohloka ukuba sicinga ngeelizwe ezimbini ezinokubakho: ilizwe esiya kulo elihogo elijikayo ukuba asiguquki ikhosi, apho uloyiko oluzenzekelayo luqhubela phambili. ilizwe ngakumbi nangakumbi linazo izixhobo zenyukliya, okanye ilizwe apho kungekho mntu unazo. Leliphi ilizwe ofuna abantwana bakho bafumane ilifa?
Ukunqanda umlo obandayo ngokufanelekileyo kwabizwa ngokuba kukulingana kwesoyikiso. Eli candelo labanqolobi abangaxhalabisiyo kunye nelizwe elinomdla nelizimiseleyo likhuthaza imeko yengqondo ye-Orwellian: siyaphika ukuba izixhobo zethu zenyukliya ziyindlela eyoyikisayo-zenzelwe ukoyikisa abachasi ukuba balumke. Sizibeka ngokusemthethweni njengesixhobo ukuze sisinde. Kwangelo xesha siqulunqa ukoyikiswa ziintshaba zethu, sizikhulisa zisijinisa ngobubi. Isoyikiso somngcwabo wesutikheyisi sigubungela isoyikiso semfazwe ebandayo ijika ishushu njengoko iNtshona idlala inkukhu yenyukliya kunye noPutin.
Uxolo ngamandla kufuneka luchazwe ngokutsha-lube luxolo njengamandla. Lo mgaqo, ucacile kumandla amancinci amaninzi, angengawo enyukliya, uqondwa ngokungathandabuzekiyo kwaye ukhanye ngokukhawuleza kumagunya okuba. Ewe amandla angenakonwaba kukuba neentshaba kuba iintshaba zilungele ezopolitiko ezomeleleyo zenkqubo yokwenza izixhobo, inkqubo ebandakanya ukuphuculwa okungabalulekanga kweendleko zempi yenyukliya yase-US echitha izixhobo ezifunekayo kumceli mngeni wokuguqula. kumandla azinzileyo.
Unyango lwe-Ebola yentsholongwane efana noloyiko lokuba luqale kwimeko yokunxibelelana kunye nokuxhomekelana- nokuba kunye neentshaba. Imfazwe ebandayo yaphela kuba abantu baseSoviet kunye nabaseMelika baqonda ukuba banomnqweno ofanayo wokubona abazukulwana babo bekhula. Nangona kunjalo abantu abayibonayo into yokufa, benenkani kwaye benenkani, sinokukhetha ukungabacaphukisi. Singawugcina umbono wethu ngokukhumbula ubutsotsi kwimbali yethu, kubandakanya nento yokuba singabokuqala ukusebenzisa izixhobo zenyukliya ukubulala abantu. Singayivuma eyeyethu indima ekudaleni indlwane ye-rat yokubulala kwi-Mideast. Singakwazi ukufaka ezingcanjini zezizathu zokucinga okugqwethekileyo, ngakumbi phakathi kwabancinci. Singakwazi ukuxhasa amanyathelo asemngciphekweni kodwa afanelekileyo njengokwaziswa kwephulo lokubonisa uvelwano eIraq (https://charterforcompassion.org/node/8387). Singagxininisa ukuba mingaphi imiceli mngeni esinokuyisombulula kuphela kunye.
Kwinqanaba lokuqala lephulo lobumongameli lase-US, abagqatswa bafikeleleka ngokungaqhelekanga-lithuba lokuba abemi babuze imibuzo efuna ukwazi ukungena ngaphakathi kweempendulo ezibhaliweyo kunye nee-bromides zepolitiki ezikhuselekileyo. Ngaba umgaqo-nkqubo we-Middle East wawunokujongeka njani ukuba wawungekho kudlala macala omabini ngokuchaseneyo kodwa kunomoya wemfesane noxolelwaniso? Kutheni singenakho ukusebenzisa enye yemfumba yemali esiceba ukuyisebenzisa ekuvuseleleni izixhobo zethu ezingasasebenziyo ekufumaneni izinto zenyukliya ezikhululekileyo kwihlabathi liphela? Kutheni i-US iphakathi kwabathengisi abaziingalo eziphezulu endaweni yomnikezeli ophezulu woncedo loluntu? Njengomongameli, yintoni onokuyenza ukunceda isizwe sethu ukuba siphile ngokuhambelana neembophelelo zaso zokuphatha izixhobo njengomtyikityo weSivumelwano seNyukliya esingavuseleli?
