Kuza enye ngo-Okthobha we-7, ixesha kwakhona lokubhiyozela uSuku lwaMazwe ngaMazwe lwe-Wars-Start-Easy-But-Bitch-to-End. Oko kukuthi, ukuba singasindisa amaxesha ambalwa ekubhiyozeleni iimfazwe ezintsha esiziqalayo.
Ngalo mhla we-13 kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, i-United States yahlasela i-Afghanistan, eyathi uMongameli wase-US wayibona njenge- nyathelo malunga nokuhlasela i-Iraq, nangona-ngokufanelekileyo-uThixo wayenayo xelelwe ukuba ahlasele amazwe omabini. Ndibuze uThixo malunga nalento kutsha nje wathi, "Ufuna ukubona ukuzisola. Owu Thixo wam, kuya kufuneka uthethe neKomiti yeNobel malunga naloo mbasa woxolo. ” Kwakungekho mfuneko yokuba ndibuze ukuba yeyiphi, kwaye andibuzanga ukuba ngubani uThixo wakhe, ndisoyika ingxoxo engapheliyo.
Emuva phaya kudala ngo-2001 phambi kokuba oomongameli bahlole yonke into ngokungafihlisiyo, baqalisa iimfazwe ngaphandle kokwenza okusemthethweni, bavalelwa ngaphandle kwentlawulo, babulawa ngokuthanda, kwaye bagcina iimfihlo ezaneleyo zokumcaphukisa uRichard Nixon, uluntu ngokubanzi aluzange lunikwe lonke ulwazi oomabonakude bayo abathandekayo. Khange sixelelwe ukuba i-Taliban izimisele ukujika u-bin Laden aye kwisizwe esingathathi hlangothi ukuze sivavanywe. Khange sixelelwe ukuba i-Taliban yayinganyamezeli i-al Qaeda, kunye neqela elahluke ngokupheleleyo. Khange sixelelwe ukuba uhlaselo lwe-911 lwalucwangcisiwe eJamani naseMaryland nakwezinye iindawo ezahlukeneyo ezingaphawulwanga ngebhombu. Khange sixelelwe ukuba uninzi lwabantu olwaluza kufa e-Afghanistan, uninzi ngakumbi kunokuba lwasweleka kwi-911, hayi kuphela ukuba aluxhasanga i-911 kodwa aluzange luva ngayo. Khange sixelelwe ukuba urhulumente wethu uza kubulala inani elikhulu labantu, avale abantu ngaphandle kokuthethwa kwetyala, axhome abantu ngeenyawo zabo kwaye ababethe ade abhubhe.
Khange sixelelwe ukuba le mfazwe ingekho semthethweni izakuqhubela phambili njani ukwamkeleka kweemfazwe ezingekho mthethweni okanye indlela eya kuyenza ngayo i-United States ithiye kwihlabathi liphela. Asizange sinikwe imvelaphi yendlela i-US eyayiphazamisa ngayo e-Afghanistan kwaye yaxhokonxa uhlaselo lweSoviet kunye nokuchasana ngezixhobo kwiSoviet kwaye sashiya abantu bethandana nxamnye nokuxhathisa xa amaSoviet eshiye. Khange sixelelwe ukuba uTony Blair wayefuna i-Afghanistan kuqala ngaphambi kokuba afumane i-UK incede ukutshabalalisa i-Iraq. Ngokuqinisekileyo asixelelwanga ukuba u-bin Laden wayengumlingani kurhulumente wase-US, ukuba i-911 izigebenga ubukhulu becala yayise-Saudi, okanye ukuba kungakho nantoni na engalunganga noRhulumente wase-Saudi Arabia. Kwaye akukho namnye owakhankanya izigidigidi zeedola esiza kuzichitha okanye inkululeko yoluntu esiza kuphulukana nayo ekhaya okanye umonakalo omkhulu onokuthi ubangelwe kwindalo esingqongileyo. Nkqu iintaka ungaphindi uye eAfghanistan.
I-Taliban yatshatyalaliswa ngokukhawuleza kwi-2001 ngokudityaniswa kwamandla amakhulu okubulala kunye nokushiya. I-US emva koko yaqala ukuzingela nabani na owayekade elilungu leTaliban. Kodwa ezi zibandakanya uninzi lwabantu ngoku akhokelela kwinkxaso yolawulo lwase-US-kwaye uninzi lweenkokheli ezimanyeneyo zabulawa zaza zabanjwa nangona kunjalo hayi ibinguTaliban ngokunjalo, ngobuyatha obukhulu kunye nenkohlakalo. Ukuxhoma imivuzo engama-5,000 XNUMX eedola phambi kwabantu abahluphekileyo kuvelise izityholo zobuxoki eziye zahlasela abo bathandana nabo e-Bagram okanye eGuantanamo, kunye nokususwa kwala manani aphambili abatshabalalisa uluntu, kwaye kwajika uluntu ukuba luchase i-United States eyayikade ithanda ukuyixhasa. Yongeza koku ukuphathwa gadalala ngokukhohlakeleyo nangokuthukayo kweentsapho ezipheleleyo, kubandakanya nabasetyhini nabantwana ababanjiweyo kunye nokuhlukunyezwa yimikhosi yase-US, kwaye ukuvuselelwa kweTaliban phantsi kolawulo lwe-US kuqala ukucaca. Ubuxoki esiye saxelelwa ukuba sibuchaze kukuba i-US iphazanyiswe yi-Iraq, kodwa iTaliban ivuselele ngokuchanekileyo apho imikhosi yase-US ibinyanzelisa umthetho wobundlobongela kwaye hayi apho amanye amazwe ebethetha-thethana ngokusebenzisa, uyazi, magama.
Oku bekungumbombayi ongaziwayo kwaye ungaqondakaliyo kwilizwe langaphandle (njengoko behlala behlala njalo) bethuthumbisa kwaye bebulala uninzi lwamagorha abo omeleleyo, bethumela abanye babo eGitmo-nditsho nokuthumela kumakhwenkwe amancinci aseGitmo elona cala lalikukuhlaselwa ngokwesondo.

Xa uBarack Obama waba ngumongameli, kwakukho ama-32,000 amabutho ase-US e-Afghanistan. Uye wanyuka waya kumajoni angaphezu kwe-100,000, kunye neekhontrakthi, kwaye kubhiyozelwa ukuphelisa imfazwe ukusukela ngoko. Iminyaka emihlanu ichithwe kuxoxwa "ngokudiliza" Uluntu lwase-US luye lwaxelela abatyali ukuba sifuna yonke imikhosi yase-US iphume e-Afghanistan "ngokukhawuleza" kangangeminyaka kunye neminyaka. Iintetho ezingapheliyo ziqhayise ngokuphelisa iimfazwe ekuthiwa "zizuzwe njengelifa" ngu-Obama. Kwaye okwangoku, kukho amajoni angama-33,000 e-US e-Afghanistan, nangaphezulu xa u-Obama waba ngumongameli. Amanyano aliqela e-NATO ahambile ngobulumko, kodwa lelo liqondo "lokudodobala". Ukulinganiswa kokufa kunye nokutshatyalaliswa okanye iindleko zezemali, i-Afghanistan ininzi kakhulu imfazwe kaMongameli Obama kuneMongameli Bush.
Ngoku, u-Obama ukwazile ukufumana umongameli omtsha wase-Afghanistan ukuba avumelane nemikhosi yase-US ese-Afghanistan ngokuzikhusela kulo naluphi na utshutshiso lolwaphulo-mthetho, kude kube ngu "2024 nangaphaya." U-Obama ubanga ukuba uza kuwanciphisa amanqanaba amajoni aye kwi-9,800 kulo nyaka, i-6,000 kunyaka olandelayo, kunye ne-1,000 kulo nyaka ulandelayo-ngelo xesha uya kube elinde umongameli omtsha wase-Afghanistan ngcono kunokuba alinde i-White House.
Esi ibisisicwangciso sika-Obama ukusukela ngoSuku 1. Akazange atsho ukuba uyakuze ayiphelise imfazwe; unikwe nje ikhredithi engapheliyo yokwenza njalo. Kodwa kukho into engekhoyo emoyeni kwezi ntsuku, zidibene nenani elikhulu leemfazwe zase-US, eziphazamisa abantu kuburhalarhume bokugcina imfazwe e-Afghanistan isiya kwesinye ishumi leminyaka "nangaphaya." Into engekho ngqiqweni ngumbono wokuba i-Iraq iye esihogweni kuba imikhosi yase-US ishiyile. Ngapha koko, i-Iraq yayisesona sihogo sibi xa amajoni ase-US ayekhona, kwaye yayingumsebenzi onzima wamajoni ase-US kunye namahlakani awo kwiminyaka eliqela ebeka i-Iraq kwindlela eya esihogweni ngoku. Nditsho no-Obama, owazama ngamandla ukufumana ukungakhuseleki kwimikhosi yase-US ukuze abashiye e-Iraq kwiminyaka emithathu eyadlulayo, uyavuma ukuba ukubashiya apho bekungayi kwenza nto. Kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo le nto encinci yokulwa nelanga - umbono wokuba imikhosi Ukushiya uqhekeze i-Iraq-inceda ukuthintela uqhanqalazo lwethu kunye nomsindo kwiindaba zamva nje ezivela eVietghanistan.
U-Obama wayelilungu elinekratshi le-Let's Stop Ukubulala i-Iraqis kunye nokubulala iklabhu yama-Afghans. Ngoku ubuyile e-Iraq kunye nase-Syria ebulala abantu abaninzi kangangokuba wabhengeza ukuba imigaqo yokunciphisa ukubulawa kwabantu ayisebenzi. Ndinesikimu sokumnceda ngoqalo lwabaxhasi bakhe bemfazwe babuyele ekumthandeni. Kulula. Ixabiso eliphantsi. Kukuguqulwa okungalindelekanga. Kwaye ubuncinci isiqingatha selizwe sele sicinga ukuba uyenzile kunjalo: Fumana i-US Military Out of Afghanistan. Ngoku. Ngokupheleleyo. Akukho Mitya encanyathiselwe.
