Ukusukela nge-9-11, i-United States, ngalo naluphi na uvavanyo lwenjongo, ubukhosi bomkhosi obujikeleze umhlaba, iye yafakwa kwimfazwe yamakhaya eqhubekayo phakathi kwamaqela akhohlakeleyo (ahlala esilwa phakathi kwawo) kunye nabo, kubandakanywa nathi, babona njengeentshaba zabo ezifayo. . Sicatshukiswa ngokufanelekileyo kukunqunyulwa kwentloko ngenkohlakalo kwividiyo ukuze kusasazwe kwi-Intanethi. Abanqumli bentloko kunye neziqhushumbisi zokuzibulala bacatshukiswa ngokulinganayo bubukho bethu obuninzi bomkhosi kumazwe ookhokho babo kunye nokuhlaselwa kwedrone emitshatweni.
Ngeli xesha, nangona urhulumente wobukumkani bethu obunamandla ekwazi ukufunda ii-imeyile zethu kwaye acofe iifowuni zethu, intshukumo yehlabathi ENGAKHO bundlobongela ukuzisa utshintsho olulungileyo ngandlel’ ithile ibhabha ngokupheleleyo phantsi kwezikrini zayo zeradar ekucingelwa ukuba zibona konke. Abantu bomhlaba bachasene kakhulu nemfazwe, yaye bafuna isabelo sabo esifanelekileyo sobuncwane bomhlaba namathuba olawulo lwedemokhrasi. Izifundo zemfundo (cf. UChenoweth noStefano, Kutheni iSebenzi yokuShatyelwa koLuntu: I-Strategic Logic yeNgxabano engeyiyo ) baye babonisa ukuba, ngokubanzi, iintshukumo ezingenabundlobongela zisebenza ngakumbi ekufikeleleni iinjongo ezinjalo kunezomkhosi ezinobundlobongela.
Amajelo ethu eendaba anciphisa intetho kwaye aphembelele amadangatye ngokuvumela kuphela abemi base-US ukuba babone kwilensi emxinwa yobungangamsha, ucalucalulo kunye nobundlobongela. Abaphathi boloyiko, i-legion kwinkcubeko yethu, banyanzelisa ukuba abalandeli be-ISIS abangobantu. Kodwa kufuneka sigcine ubuntu babo ezintliziyweni zethu njengoko sizicekisayo izenzo zabo, kanye njengoko sifanele sikucekise ukuvela kwethu ekuthuthunjisweni nasekubulaleni ngokungekho mthethweni. Abantu abayenzi into eyenziwa ngaba balweli be-ISIS ngaphandle kokuba banikwe ukuphelelwa lithemba kunye nokungakhathali yimvakalelo ebuhlungu yokungabi nabulungisa. Njengoko u-Auden wabhala, "Abo benziwa ububi / benza ububi ngokubuyisela." Umbuzo wethu ngowokuba singaphendula njani kakuhle ebubini ngaphandle kokuthethelela ukuziphatha kwethu okubi.
Sabela iholide yelizwe kuGqr King owayengenabundlobongela ngokugqithisileyo, owafuna nje ukuphela kweMfazwe yaseVietnam, kwaye hayi kulowo uphumelele iBhaso loXolo lweNobel uGqr. Kissinger, owathi-nangona wathatha ixesha lakhe elimnandi ngayo— ngokwenene yaphela imfazwe. Kodwa ngeli lixa sithetha ngezonqulo kwimibhiyozo yonyaka kaKumkani, sisibali esingenalusini sikaKissinger esilawula iingxoxo zomgaqo-nkqubo-kwanasekhohlo.
Ukubeka bucala umahluko ocacileyo phakathi kosizi lokunqunyulwa kwentloko kunye neenjongo ezintle ezicingelwayo zabo balawula iidrones, icala lethu kunye nelabo babelana ngenkolelo yokuba ekuphela kwesisombululo kule ngxabano inkulu kukubulala. Ukuba i-ISIS inokubulala ngokwaneleyo iintshaba zayo, iCaliphate inokusekwa ukusuka eLebhanon ukuya e-Afghanistan, itshitshisa imida ecekisekayo engafanelekanga eyenziwe ngamakoloniyali emva kweMfazwe Yehlabathi I. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuba iNtshona inokubulala kuphela iinkokeli zobunqolobi ezaneleyo e-Afghanistan naseYemen naseSyria, izinto ezilinganiselayo ziya kuvela ekuxhelweni zilahle ingcamango elilize neyokuzikhukhumalisa yokuba i-Islam imiselwe ukuba yoyise ihlabathi elinobuninzi.
Kodwa uqikelelo lwabo bobabini ubukhosi baseMelika obukhoyo kunye nobukumkani obunokubakho bamaSilamsi alilize ngokulinganayo kwaye banengqondo evaliweyo ngeendlela zabo ezahlukeneyo. Ukubulawa kwabantu abaninzi macala omabini akusokuze kuzisombulule iiyantlukwano zenkcubeko ezisisiseko, kwaye ke ngaphandle kokuba sicinga ukuba intsha, le mfazwe yamakhaya iya kuqhubeka, iphindaphindeka abantu abagaywayo ukuba bagrogrise ngokukhawuleza kunokuba banokutshatyalaliswa-isigrisi esingapheliyo sobundlobongela.
Asinakusuka nje sishiye amaqela angoontamo-lukhuni ukuba alwe phakathi kwawo. Kufuneka sikhokele, kodwa kutheni singakhokeleli kwicala elitsha? Phakathi kwazo zonke izandla ezigwenxa malunga neenketho ezimbi, kukho ukhetho olulungileyo: tshintsha umdlalo. Yamkela ukuba ukuhlala kwe-US e-Iraq kukhokelele kwiziphumo ebezingalindelekanga. Biza inkomfa yezizwe ngezizwe equka abameli abasuka kumaqela amaninzi azimiseleyo ukuqwalasela indlela yokulawula nokuphelisa ubundlobongela. Vumelana ukuba uthintele iingalo ezigalela kummandla.
Ithuba lokuba sele silwa imfazwe yehlabathi yesithathu, silibele isifundo sokuba umntu wayefuna encinci okanye elindeleke ukuba angene kweyokuqala, ibonisa imfuneko yokubiza umoya wamanani afana noKumkani noDag Hammarskjold, lowo unozakuzaku wehlabathi ongenamdla. yoxolo. Njengoko sijonga phantsi komsinga wexesha, kuya kuba nzima nangakumbi ukuqinisekisa ukuba ngubani oza kuba nezixhobo zenyukliya. Nangoku injengele yasePakistani engachaphazelekanga isenokudlulisela intloko yemfazwe kumdlali ongengowakwarhulumente ngeenjongo ezimbi. Kuyenzeka ngokulinganayo ukuba umntu emkhosini wase-US angahamba ngokurhabaxa nge-nuke, eqalisa intlekele.
Ngaba imfazwe yehlabathi yesithathu ekhokelela kwintshabalalo epheleleyo yinjongo kaThixo wamaKristu okanye ka-Allah wamaSilamsi? Sijonge kumda ogqibeleleyo wokubulala, umda ojikeleza macala onke: ubusika benyukliya, ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba iqhezu elincinci leemfazwe zehlabathi, nokuba yeyiphi na, iqhutyelwe, isiganeko semozulu esilandelayo siya kugubungela umhlaba. kwihlabathi jikelele, ukuvala ulimo lwehlabathi ishumi leminyaka. Ithuba lelokuba onke amaqela ayamkele le nto inokwenzeka kwaye akhe izivumelwano ezisekelwe kwikhaya labahambi kumnqweno ofanayo wokuphila komntu—ukuphulaphula ekugqibeleni izibongozo zezigidi ezijikeleze esi sijikelezi-langa sincinane esifuna ngamandla ukuba impambano yemfazwe engapheliyo iphele.
