NguDavid Swanson, Amanqaku eLondon, eNgilani, ngoJulayi 2, 2014.
Enkosi kuBruce Kent kunye neNtshukumo yokuBhalwa kweMfazwe kunye nakumaVetera oXolo kunye nePhulo leNyukliya yeNyukliya. Enkosi kwi-Stop the War Coalition kunye nabo bonke abanye abantu ngokunceda ukusasaza ilizwi.
Kwiintsuku ezisi-8, ngomhla we-10 kaJulayi uMary Ann Grady-Flores, ugogo wase-Ithaca, NY, ucwangciselwe ukuba agwetywe ukuya kunyaka omnye entolongweni. Ulwaphulo-mthetho lwakhe lwaphula umyalelo wokhuseleko, osisixhobo esisemthethweni sokukhusela umntu othile kubundlobongela bomnye umntu. Kule meko, umlawuli we-Hancock Air Base uye wakhuselwa ngokusemthethweni kubaqhankqalazi abazinikeleyo abangenalo ubundlobongela, nangona ukhuseleko lokuyalela isiseko sakhe somkhosi, kwaye nangona abaqhankqalazi bengazi ukuba ngubani lo mfo. Yiloo ndlela embi ngayo abantu abaphethe iirobhothi ezibulalayo esizibiza ngokuba ziidrone bafuna ukuphepha nayiphi na imibuzo ngomsebenzi wabo ongena ezingqondweni zabaqhubi beenqwelomoya.
NgoLwesine ophelileyo indawo yase-US ebizwa ngokuba yi-Stimson Centre ikhuphe ingxelo malunga nomkhwa omtsha wase-US wokubulala abantu ngemijukujelwa evela kwiidrones. Iziko le-Stimson libizwe ngo-Henry Stimson, uNobhala weMfazwe wase-US owathi, ngaphambi kohlaselo lwase-Japan kwi-Pearl Harbour wabhala kwidayari yakhe, emva kwentlanganiso noMongameli Roosevelt: isithonga sokuqala ngaphandle kokuvumela ingozi enkulu kuthi. Yayisisindululo esinzima. ” (Kwiinyanga ezine ngaphambilana, uChurchill wayexelele ikhabhinethi yakhe e-10 Downing Street ukuba umgaqo-nkqubo waseUnited States ngokubhekiselele eJapan wawuquka oku: “Yonke into yayimele yenziwe ukuze kunyanzeliswe isiganeko.”) Lo yayinguHenry Stimson owathi kamva wakuchasa ukuwisa ibhombu yokuqala yenyukliya. eKyoto, kuba wayekhe waya eKyoto. Wayengazange atyelele eHiroshima, kakhulu kwishwangusha labantu baseHiroshima.
Ndiyazi ukuba kukho umbhiyozo omkhulu weMfazwe Yehlabathi I oqhubekayo apha (kunye nokuchaswa okukhulu kuyo), kodwa e-United States bekukho umbhiyozo oqhubekayo weMfazwe Yehlabathi II iminyaka engama-70. Enyanisweni, umntu unokude acebise ukuba iMfazwe Yehlabathi II iqhubekile ngendlela ethile kunye nenqanaba elingaphantsi le-70 iminyaka (kunye nomlinganiselo omkhulu kumaxesha athile kunye neendawo ezifana neKorea neVietnam ne-Iraq). I-United States ayizange ibuyele kumanqanaba angaphambi kweMfazwe Yehlabathi II yerhafu okanye inkcitho yasemkhosini, ayizange ishiye iJapan okanye iJamani, iye yazibandakanya kwizenzo zomkhosi ezingama-200 phesheya ngexesha elibizwa ngokuba lixesha lemfazwe, ayizange iyeke ukwandisa ubukho bayo emkhosini. phesheya, kwaye ngoku kukho imikhosi emiswe ngokusisigxina phantse kuwo onke amazwe omhlaba. Izinto ezimbini ezingaphandle, i-Iran neSiriya, zihlala zisongelwa.
Ngoko kufanelekile ngokupheleleyo, ndicinga ukuba, yayiliZiko iStimson elakhupha le ngxelo, eyayingamagosa omkhosi awayesakuba ngamagosa omkhosi namagqwetha athanda umkhosi, ingxelo eyayiquka le ngxelo ibalulekileyo: “Ukusetyenziswa okwandayo kwee-UAV ezibulalayo kusenokubangela umtyibilizi. ithambeka elikhokelela kwiimfazwe eziqhubekayo okanye ezibanzi ngakumbi.”
Ubuncinane oko kuvakala kubalulekile kum. Iimfazwe eziqhubekayo? Yinto embi kakhulu leyo, akunjalo?
Kwakhona kwiveki ephelileyo, urhulumente wase-US wenze imemo esidlangalaleni apho athi unelungelo lokubulala ngokusemthethweni ummi wase-US (ungakhathali nabani na ongomnye) njengenxalenye yemfazwe engenamda ngexesha okanye kwindawo. Ndibize ndiyaphambana, kodwa le nto ibonakala inzulu. Kuthekani ukuba le mfazwe iqhubeka ixesha elide ngokwaneleyo ukuvelisa iintshaba ezibalulekileyo?
Kunyaka ophelileyo iZizwe eziManyeneyo zakhupha ingxelo echaza ukuba iinqwelo-moya eziziinqwelo-moya zenza imfazwe ibe yinto eqhelekileyo kunezinye. Wowu. Oko kunokuba yingxaki kuhlobo oluthile lwezidalwa ezikhetha ukungaqhushumbisi, awucingi? IZizwe Ezimanyeneyo, ezidalelwe ukushenxisa imfazwe ehlabathini, zikhankanya ukuba imfazwe iya isiba yinto eqhelekileyo kunokuba ibe yinto engaqhelekanga.
Ngokuqinisekileyo impendulo kuphuhliso olunjalo kufuneka ibaluleke ngokufanayo.
Siye sahlala, ndicinga ukuba, ukufunda iingxelo ezithetha izinto ezinjengokuthi "Ukuba asishiyi i-80% yamafutha e-fossil eyaziwayo emhlabeni siya kufa sonke, kunye nezinye iintlobo ezininzi kunye nathi," kwaye emva koko iingcali zincomela ukuba sisebenzise iiglowubhu ezisebenza kakuhle kwaye sizikhulisele iitumato zethu. Ndiyathetha ukuba siyiqhelile impendulo engayilungeli ukude ingxaki ekhoyo.
Injalo imeko ye-UN, iZiko le-Stimson, kunye nesihlwele esihle seengcali zomthetho woluntu, njengoko ndikwazi ukuxelela.
Iziko le-Stimson lithi malunga nokubulawa kwabantu ngedrone, akufuneki "bazukiswe bangabi nademon." Kwaye, ngokucacileyo, akufanele bamiswe. Endaweni yoko, iZiko le-Stimson licebisa uphononongo kunye nokungafihli kunye nezifundo ezinamandla. Ndikulungele ukubheja ukuba wena okanye mna soyikise ngokuqhubekayo okanye ukwandisa ukufa kunye nentshabalalo siya kuba needemon. Ndikulungele ukubheja imbono yokuzukiswa kwethu ayinakuze ithathelwe ingqalelo.
IZizwe eziManyeneyo nazo zicinga ukuba ukwenza izinto elubala kusisisombululo. Sazise ukuba ubulala bani kwaye kutheni. Siza kukufumana iifomu zokwenza ingxelo yenyanga. Njengoko amanye amazwe engena kulo mdlalo siza kuqulunqa iingxelo zawo kwaye senze ukungafihli okwenyani kumazwe ngamazwe.
Leyo yimbono yabanye abantu ngenkqubela phambili.
Iidrones, ewe, ayisiyiyo yodwa indlela okanye - ukuza kuthi ga ngoku - eyona ndlela ibulalayo i-US kunye namahlakani ayo alwa iimfazwe. Kodwa kukho oku kuhanahanisa kuncinci kwengxoxo yokuziphatha malunga needrones kuba ukubulawa kwabantu ngedrone kubonakala njengokubulala kubantu abaninzi. Umongameli wase-US udlula kuluhlu lwamadoda, abafazi, kunye nabantwana ngoLwesibini, akhethe ukuba abulale bani, kwaye naye nabani na ome kufutshane kakhulu kubo wabulawa-nangona ehlala ejolisa abantu ngaphandle kokwazi igama labo. Ukuqhushumba kweLibya okanye naphina kwenye indawo kujongeka kuncinci njengokubulala kubantu abaninzi, ngakumbi ukuba - njengoStimson eHiroshima - abakaze baye eLibya, kwaye ukuba iibhombu ezininzi zijolise kumntu omnye ongendawo urhulumente wase-US amjikelayo. Ke, iUnited States idlula kwinto efana nemfazwe yango-2011 eLibya eshiye eso sizwe sikwimeko entle ngaphandle kokuba yenzeke nakweyiphi na iitanki zokucinga ezinobuhlobo emkhosini ukuba kukho umbuzo ofanele ukucingisiswa.
Ngaba, ndiyazibuza, ngaba besiya kuthetha njani ngeedrones okanye iibhombu okanye abacebisi abangengabo ukulwa ukuba sizama ukuphelisa imfazwe kunokuyiphucula? Ewe, ndicinga ukuba ukuba sibone ukupheliswa ngokupheleleyo kwemfazwe njengenjongo yethu ekude kakhulu, siya kuthetha ngokwahlukileyo malunga nalo lonke uhlobo lwemfazwe namhlanje. Ndicinga ukuba siya kuyeka ukukhuthaza umbono wokuba nayiphi na imemo inokwenza kube semthethweni ukubulala, nokuba siyibonile okanye ayiboni imemo. Ndicinga ukuba singasikhaba isimo samaqela amalungelo abantu sokuba i-UN Charter kunye ne-Kellogg-Briand Pact kufuneka zingahoywa. Endaweni yokuqwalasela ukungabikho semthethweni kwamaqhinga ngexesha lemfazwe, siyakuchasa ukungabikho semthethweni kwemfazwe ngokwayo. Asinakuthetha kakuhle nge-United States kunye ne-Iran ngokudibanisa izandla kubuhlobo ukuba isiseko somfelandawonye ocetywayo yayikukuzama ukubulala abantu baseIraq.
E-US ayiqhelekanga ukuba amaqela oxolo agxile kwi-4,000 yaseMelika efileyo kunye neendleko zezimali zemfazwe yase-Iraq, kwaye ukwala ngokuqinileyo ukukhankanya isiqingatha sesigidi ukuya kwisigidi kunye nesiqingatha se-Iraqis esibuleweyo, ukuthula kube negalelo kuninzi. Abantu baseMelika bengazi ukuba kwenzeke ntoni. Kodwa lelo licebo labachasi bezinye iimfazwe, hayi abachasi bazo zonke iimfazwe. Ukubonisa imfazwe ethile njengeendleko kumhlaseli akubashukumisi abantu ngokuchasene namalungiselelo emfazwe okanye basuse ingcamango yokuba kunokubakho imfazwe elungileyo nelungileyo kwiintsuku ezizayo.
Kuqhelekile eWashington ukuxoxa ngokuchasene nenkunkuma yasemkhosini, njengezixhobo ezingasebenziyo okanye ukuba iPentagon ayizange icele iCongress, okanye ukuphikisana neemfazwe ezimbi ezishiya umkhosi ungalungiselelanga ezinye iimfazwe ezinokubakho. Ukuba iprojekthi yethu ijolise ekugqibeleni ekuphelisweni kwemfazwe, besiya kuba ngokuchasene nokusebenza kakuhle komkhosi kunenkunkuma yasemkhosini kwaye sixhasa umkhosi ongalungiswanga kakuhle ongakwaziyo ukusungula iimfazwe ezininzi. Siza kugxila ekugcineni abantu abatsha bangabikho emkhosini kunye nomkhosi ngaphandle kweencwadi zesikolo njengoko sithintela ibhetshi ethile yemijukujelwa ukuba ibhabhe. Yinto eqhelekileyo ukuxela ukunyaniseka kumajoni ngelixa uchasene nemigaqo-nkqubo yabaphathi bawo, kodwa xa uthe wancoma amajoni ngenkonzo yawo, uye wavuma ukuba kufuneka abonelele enye. Ukubhiyozela abachasi beMfazwe yeHlabathi yokuQala, njengoko ndisazi ukuba abanye benu bebesenza mva nje, luhlobo lwento ekufuneka ithathe indawo yokuhlonipha abathathi-nxaxheba emfazweni.
Kusenokufuneka ukuba singayitshintshi nje incoko yethu ukusuka ekuchaseni imfazwe ethile emva kwemfazwe ethile ukuya ekuxoxeni ngesiphelo seziko lonke. Kwakhona kusenokufuneka siyiguqule ngokuchuliweyo yonke inxalenye yencoko endleleni.
Endaweni yokucebisa ukuba amagqala ngokukodwa azuze umbulelo wethu kwaye kufuneka afumane ukhathalelo lwempilo kunye nomhlalaphantsi (othi umntu awuve ngalo lonke ixesha e-US), sinokufuna ukucebisa ukuba bonke abantu - kubandakanywa namagqala - banamalungelo oluntu, kwaye omnye wethu imisebenzi ephambili kukuyeka ukudala amanye amagqala.
Endaweni yokuchasa amajoni achamela izidumbu, sisenokufuna ukuchasa ukudalwa kwezidumbu. Kunokuba sizame ukuphelisa intuthumbo nokudlwengulwa nokuvalelwa entolongweni ngokungekho mthethweni ngenxa yokubulawa kwabantu abaninzi, sisenokufuna ukunikela ingqalelo kunobangela. Asinakuqhubeka sibeka i-2 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngonyaka kwihlabathi liphela, kwaye isiqingatha salo e-United States, silungiselela iimfazwe kwaye singalindelanga ukuba kubekho iimfazwe.
Ngobunye ubukhoboka sixelelwa ukuba silandele abathengisi abakhulu bechiza okanye silandele imfuno yabasebenzisi. Abathengisi beziyobisi zemfazwe ngabo baxhasa umkhosi ngemali kunye nabazukulwana bethu abahlawulwayo kunye nokulahla iibhakethi zemali kwiipropaganda malunga neVietnam kunye neMfazwe Yehlabathi I. Bayazi ubuxoki malunga neemfazwe ezidlulileyo zibaluleke ngakumbi kunobuxoki malunga neemfazwe ezintsha. Kwaye siyazi ukuba iziko lemfazwe alinakusinda kubantu abafunda inyaniso malunga nalo kangangokuba abanye abantu baqala ukwenza olo lwazi.
Uluvo loluntu lwase-US luye lwahamba ngokuchasene neemfazwe. Xa iPalamente kunye neCongress bathi hayi kwimijukujelwa eSyria, uxinzelelo loluntu kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo idlale indima enkulu. Kuyafana nokumisa ityala elibi kwi-Iran kwiCongress ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, kunye nokuchasana nemfazwe entsha e-Iraq. Amalungu eCongress anexhala lokuvotela enye imfazwe efana ne-Iraq, nokuba kuse-Iraq okanye kwenye indawo. Ivoti yakhe yokuhlasela i-Iraq kwiminyaka eli-12 eyadlulayo kuphela kwento eye yasigcina ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ekuboneni uHillary Clinton eWhite House. Abantu abafuni ukuvotela umntu ovoteleyo oko. Kwaye, makhe sikuthethe oku kwangethuba kubahlobo bethu abathandekayo kwiKomiti yeNobel: elinye ibhaso loxolo aliyi kunceda izinto. I-United States ayifuni elinye ibhaso loxolo kumenzi wemfazwe, idinga oko uBruce kwaye uninzi lwenu benisebenza apha: intshukumo edumileyo yokupheliswa kwemfazwe!
Iqela labalweli boxolo liqalise iinzame ezintsha ezibizwa World Beyond War apha http://WorldBeyondWar.org ejolise ekuziseni abantu abaninzi kwiphulo loxolo. Abantu kunye nemibutho kubuncinci kumazwe angama-58 ukuza kuthi ga ngoku batyikitye isiBhengezo soXolo kwiWorldBeyondWar.org. Ithemba lethu kukuba, ngokuzisa abantu abaninzi kunye namaqela kwintshukumo, sinokuqinisa kwaye sandise, kunokuba sikhuphisane nemibutho yoxolo ekhoyo. Siyathemba ukuba sinokuxhasa umsebenzi wamaqela afana ne-Movement for the Abolition of War, kwaye singakwazi, njengamaqela kunye nabantu ngabanye, basebenze emhlabeni jikelele.
Iwebhusayithi e-WorldBeyondWar.org yenzelwe ukubonelela ngezixhobo zemfundo: iividiyo, iimephu, iingxelo, iingongoma zokuthetha. Senza ityala ngokuchasene nombono wokuba imfazwe iyasikhusela-ingcamango engcolileyo, inikwe ukuba iintlanga ezibandakanyekayo kwimfazwe enkulu zijongene neyona ntiyo ngenxa yoko. I-poll ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka yabantu kumazwe angama-65 ifumene i-US ekhokeleni elikhulu njengoko isizwe sithatha njengesona sisongelo soxolo emhlabeni. Amagqala ase-US ayazibulala ngokwamanani erekhodi, ngokuyinxenye malunga nento abayenzileyo e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan. Iimfazwe zethu zobuntu ngoyena nobangela uphambili wokubandezeleka nokufa eluntwini. Kwaye ke siyayikhaba imbono yokuba imfazwe inokunceda abantu apho iqhutywa khona.
Sikwabeka iingxoxo zokuba imfazwe inokuziphatha okubi ngokunzulu, ingumzala wokuqala kunye nonobangela oqhelekileyo, hayi enye indlela, ukubulawa kwabantu; loo mfazwe iyonakalisa indawo yethu yendalo, ukuba imfazwe itshabalalisa inkululeko yethu yoluntu, kwaye ukuhambisa nje into encinci yento esiyichitha emfazweni into eluncedo kuya kusenza sithandeke kunokuba soyike kwihlabathi jikelele. Ipesenti enesiqingatha semali echithwa lihlabathi emfazweni inokuchithwa ukuphelisa indlala emhlabeni. Imfazwe ithathe ubomi bezigidi ezingama-200 kule nkulungwane idlulileyo, kodwa okulungileyo okunokwenziwa ngezixhobo ezilahlwe emfazweni kubugqwesa kude ububi obunokuphetshwa ngokuphelisa imfazwe. Enye into, ukuba siye sathumela ngokukhawuleza izixhobo zemfazwe sinokudubula eyona nto siyenzayo ukukhusela imozulu yeplanethi. Ukuba ingcamango yethu "yokukhusela" ayibandakanyi oko kubonisa ukuba sihambe kangakanani ekwamkeleni ukungathinteki kwento enokuthi ithintelwe ngokugqibeleleyo kunye neyoyikekayo kwaye ingenakukhuseleka ngokupheleleyo iziko lemfazwe.
Ukwamkela imfazwe, sizama iimfazwe ezingabizi kakhulu, iimfazwe ezingcono, iimfazwe ezisecaleni, kwaye sifumana ntoni? Sifumana izilumkiso kubaxhasi bemfazwe abahloniphekileyo ukuba siqala ukwenza imfazwe ibe yinto eqhelekileyo kwaye sibeka emngciphekweni wemfazwe eqhubekayo.
Kwelinye icala le yimeko yeziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ukukhuphisana nabo bafuna inyaniso ngendalo kaThixo kwaye yaphela ngomfo okwimali ejikeleze apha, uCharles Darwin. Kwelinye icala ayijongwanga kwaphela. Unjingalwazi kwiYunivesithi yaseStanford usanda kubeka incwadi ephikisa ukuba imfazwe ilungile kuthi kangangokuba kufuneka sihlale siqhubeka. Olo xinzelelo lweekhosi zokucinga ngokusebenzisa imithambo yemfundo yethu yasemkhosini exhaswa ngemali kunye nobutshantliziyo.
Kodwa olo hlobo lokucinga luya luthandeka ngakumbi, kwaye eli inokuba lixesha lokuyibhengeza, ukuyigxeka, kwaye ibonakale kwisenzo sokukhula kweemvakalelo ezithandwayo ngokuchasene nemfazwe, kunye nokuqonda apho siye sakhubeka khona ukuba iimfazwe ezithile zinokuthintelwa. , kwaye ukuba iimfazwe ezithile zinokuthintelwa ngoko nganye nganye inokuthintelwa. Ndijonge phambili ekusebenzeni kule projekthi, ngokungxamiseka kwayo, kunye nani nonke.
