Ukubulala kwethu kucocekile kwaye kungokwenkolo; ezabo zingcolile yaye zinqula.
"Kumzamo wabo wokudala i-caliphate kwiindawo zase-Iraq naseSiriya," I-CNN iyasixelela, “Abalweli be-ISIS baye babulala abantu abaqhelekileyo njengoko bethimba izixeko kuwo omabini la mazwe.
ESyria, iqela labeka ezinye zeentloko zamaxhoba anqunyulwe ezibondeni.
Ukuxukuxa kwesisu njengoko kunjalo, umxholo ekuxelwe kuwo - njengokunyathela ngokulula koluvo loluntu - undenza ndive kukoyika kwayo, kuba ithi cwaka ithethelela ukoyikeka okukhulu, okunzulu okulinde emaphikweni. Ukuboleka ibinzana kuBenjamin Netanyahu, obu bubugwenxa be-telegenic. Yeyona nto ifunwa ngumatshini wemfazwe wase-US ukuthethelela uhlaselo olulandelayo lwe-Iraq.
"Kwesinye isiganeko esibanjwe kwikhamera," ingxelo ye-CNN iqhubeka, "indoda ibonakala inyanzelwa ukuba iguqe ngamadolo, ijikelezwe ngabahlaseli abazifihlayo abazichaza kwividiyo njengamalungu e-ISIS. Banyanzela indoda ephethe umpu ukuba ‘iguqukele’ kubuSilamsi, emva koko bayinqumle intloko.”
Oku ngokuqinisekileyo kuphakathi. Ngokwahlukileyo, xa sibulala ama-Iraqis, iyakhawuleza kwaye icocekile, ayinamvakalelo njengentshukumo yechess. Ibali elifanayo le-CNN liyasazisa: "Amagosa ase-Iraq athi i-US airstrikes uMgqibelo babulala abalweli be-ISIS abali-16, kwaye i-airstrike yase-Iraq eSinjar yabulala amajoni angama-45 e-ISIS, ingxelo yeendaba zase-Iraq.
Yiyo leyo. Akukho Dili enkulu. Abafileyo esijongene nabo abanazo iimpawu zobuntu, kwaye ukubabulala kwethu akunasiphumo njengokucoca ifriji. Kuyimfuneko nje, kuba aba bafana ngamajihadist, kwaye, kakuhle. . .
"Eyona nto iphambili yeqhinga lase-US ngoku kufuneka ibuyele umva kwaye yoyise i-ISIS ukuze ingakwazi ukuseka ubunqolobi," Wall StreetJournal yahlelwa kwiintsuku ezininzi ezidlulileyo. "Ilizwe elinjalo liya kuba yi-mecca yee-jihadists eziya kuthi ziqeqeshe kwaye zisasazeke ukubulala kwihlabathi liphela. Baza kuzama ukubetha abantu baseMelika ngeendlela ezithimba ingqalelo yehlabathi, kubandakanya nelizwe laseMelika. Isicwangciso sokuqulatha i-ISIS asinciphisi esi soyikiso. "
Kwaye nantsi iSouth Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, ethetha into enye nge-hysteria engakumbi kwiFox News, njengoko ecatshulwe nguPaul Waldman kwiWashington Post: "Uxanduva luka-Obama njengomongameli kukukhusela esi sizwe. Ukuba akaqhubeki ekuhlaseleni i-ISIS, ISIL, nantoni na ofuna ukuyibiza aba bafana, beza apha. Oku akukho malunga neBaghdad kuphela. Oku akukhona nje ngeSiriya. Imalunga nelizwe lethu. . . .
"Ngaba ngokwenene ufuna ukuvumela iMelika ukuba ihlaselwe? . . . Mongameli, ukuba awuhlengahlengisi iqhinga lakho, aba bantu bayeza apha.”
Imfazwe egqithisela ukuthand' izwe ayizange ibe yinto yokungakhathali. Ndothuswa zezi mpikiswano kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo; into yokuba babuye begqibelele, bevuka eluthuthwini lwabo bebiza imfazwe entsha yokuphelisa amasikizi adalwa yile endala, indityhalela kwinqanaba elitsha lokuphelelwa lithemba okungakholelekiyo. Uloyiko luhlala ngonaphakade kwaye luhlala lubizwa. Imfazwe idla ngokwayo izifundo.
As Ivan Eland Kutshanje ubhale kwiHuffington Post: “Emfazweni, awona maqela akhohlakeleyo athabatha izixhobo aze azisebenzise kuye wonke umntu. Ukuba amathandabuzo akhona malunga nale nto, xa i-ISIS isanda kuhlasela i-Iraq, yahlutha umkhosi wase-Iraq oxhotyiswe ngcono kwaye wayithumela ukubaleka. Kwiphulo layo langoku lokulwa nemikhosi ye-IS ngoku ebizwa ngokuba yi-IS, amandla omoya aseMelika alwa nezixhobo zawo. "
Wongeze wathi: “Ngerekhodi entle kangaka yamva nje, umntu unokucinga ukuba abezopolitiko baseMelika bangaba neentloni zokuphinda bazibandakanye nomkhosi e-Iraq. Kodwa ngoku bacinga ukuba kufuneka balwe ne-monster abayenzileyo. Kodwa ukuba i-IS ikhohlakele ngakumbi kunokhokho wayo, i-al Qaeda e-Iraq, sesiphi isidalwa esoyikekayo abasenzayo ngoku ngokuchasene nokuqhushumba kwe-US?
Masiyiyeke le nto ingene ngaphakathi. Sayiphelisa ngokupheleleyo i-Iraq “kwimfazwe yobugrogrisi” esele ilityalwe ngoku ngokusesikweni, sigxotha izigidi zabantu, sibulala amakhulu amawaka (kwaye ngoqikelelo oluthile lungaphezu kwesigidi), sitshabalalisa iziseko zophuhliso zelizwe kwaye singcolisa imo engqongileyo. uluhlu olungapheliyo lweetyhefu zemfazwe. Kwinkqubo yokwenza konke oku, siye savuselela ubutshaba obungacingekiyo, obuthe bathe chu balwa imfazwe yaza yaba liLizwe langoku lamaSilamsi, elibuyisela ilizwe emva ngokukhohlakeleyo nangokungenalusini. Ngoku, ngokungazi kwethu malunga nokuntsonkotha kwezentlalo nezopolitiko e-Iraq, asiboni nto yimbi ngaphandle kokutsibela umva kwiphulo lokuqhushumba ngokuchasene nayo, ukuba ayiyomfazwe ebanzi kakhulu.
Umongameli u-Obama kunye neeDemokhrasi ezimodareyithayo babona oku njengongenelelo olulinganiselweyo, "loluntu", ngelixa iiRiphabhlikhi kunye neeDems ze-hawkish zikhwaza ngokubulala okukhulu ukuze, kwakhona, ukukhusela "ilizwe," abanokuthi bakhethe ukulishiya. ngeenjongo zerhafu.
Kwaye uhlalutyo oluqhelekileyo luhlala lungekho nzulu njengenkcazo yezemidlalo. Ukungenelela komkhosi, nokuba kugcwele, iibhuthi-emhlabeni, okanye kunqunyelwe kwiibhombu kunye nemijukujelwa, ihlala iyimpendulo, kuba imfazwe ihlala ibonakala njengesisombululo. Into engekhoyo ngaphezu kwayo yonke enye into kukufuna umphefumlo walo naluphi na uhlobo.
Ngeli xesha, i-Iraq kunye nabantu bayo bayaqhubeka nokubandezeleka, nokuba kusezandleni zethu ngokuthe ngqo okanye ezandleni zezilo ezikhulu esizidalileyo. Njengoko abathengisi bezixhobo bebenokuthi, umsebenzi ufezekisiwe.
