NguTom H. Hastings, Hastings kwi Nonviolence
Xa kucelwa umngeni ngohlaselo lweenqwelo-moya olubulala abantu abaqhelekileyo—enoba luvela kwiinqwelo-moya eziziinqwelo-moya okanye iinqwelo-moya ezinezixhobo “ezikrelekrele”—izingxengxezo ezinikelwa ngurhulumente namagosa omkhosi zintlu-mbini. Mhlawumbi yayiyimpazamo ezisolayo okanye isiphumo esizisolayo sokujolisa "umntu ombi" owaziwayo - inkokeli ye-ISIS, umnqolobi we-al Shabaab, umphathi weTaliban okanye umphathi we-al Qaeda. Umonakalo wokubambisa. Impendulo ye LOADR. I-Lipstick kwimpuku efileyo.
Ke ukwenza ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe KULUNGILE ukuba uthi kuyazisola?
"Ewe, kodwa abo bafana banqumle iintatheli kwaye bakhobokisa amantombazana."
Yinyani loo nto, kwaye i-ISIS izuze intiyo kunye nokucekisa uninzi lwabantu abanesidima eMhlabeni. Kananjalo, xa umkhosi wase-US ubetha kwaye uqhushumbisa izibhedlele, ngaba sinokuzibuza ukuba kutheni i-US ithiywa ngetyhefu eyaneleyo ukoyisa isimilo? Ewe, yinyaniso, xa i-US ixhela abantu abahlali ibiza ngokuba yimpazamo kwaye xa i-ISIS yenza njalo bakhala njengabantwana abanekratshi abaneminyaka emibini ubudala abanengqiqo yokulungileyo nokubi. Kodwa umbuzo wam ngowokuba, abantu baseMelika baza kuyeka nini ukuvumela umkhosi wethu-omele thina sonke kwidemokhrasi-ukuba wenze ubugebenga eluntwini?
Ulawulo luka-Obama lubanga ukuba kuphela kwabantu abafanele ukuxhalaba ngabo bakumazwe angatyunjwanga njengeendawo zemfazwe kwaye, kuloo mazwe I-US ibulale kuphela phakathi "kwabemi abangama-64 kunye ne-116 kwi-drone kunye nolunye uhlaselo lomoya olubulalayo ngokuchasene nabarhanelwa bobunqolobi." Ezo zizwe zibandakanya iLibya, iYemen, iSomalia kunye nePakistan. Akukho manani kufuneka anikwe i-Iraq, i-Afghanistan, kunye neSiriya. Abantu abaqhelekileyo kukho umdlalo ofanelekileyo.
Ubuncinci imibutho emine igcina amanani azimeleyo kwaye yonke iphezulu kakhulu kwiingxelo zabo zokusweleka kwabantu okuncinci kwezo ndawo zonyuliweyo ezingenamfazwe.
Kuthekani ngomfanekiso obanzi?
Iziko leWatson leMicimbi yaMazwe ngaMazwe kunye neyoLuntu kwiYunivesithi yaseBrown lenza esona sifundo sikhulu kwaye silandelelanisa ukubhubha kwabantu ngenxa yezenzo zomkhosi; isifundo sabo uqikelelo olusuka kwii-akhawunti ezibhaliweyo ukuba ukususela ngoMatshi walo nyaka uphelileyo bamalunga nama-210,000 abantu abangalwiyo abaye babulawa kwiMfazwe yeHlabathi yoBugrogrisi eyasungulwa ngo-Oktobha 2001.
Ngoko, ngexesha elithile, kufuneka sizibuze; Ukuba iinkonzo zobuntlola zase-US zigqiba ukuba inkokeli ye-ISIS yasekhaya ihlala kwisakhiwo eQueens okanye eNyakatho yeMinneapolis okanye eBeaverton, e-Oregon ngaba kuya kuba kulungile ukujolisa kweso sakhiwo nge-missile ye-Hellfire eqaliswe kwi-Predator drone?
Kuhlekisa kangakanani, akunjalo? Asinakuze siyenze loo nto.
Ngaphandle kokuba senza, ngokwesiqhelo, eSyria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, nasePakistan. Iya kuyeka nini lento?
Iya kuyeka xa singachasanga nje ngokuziphatha kodwa xa sithatha isigqibo sokuphumelela. Impendulo yethu enobundlobongela kubunqolobi iyanda ngalo lonke ixesha, iqinisekisa ukuba, ubunqolobi ngokuchasene ne-US buya kunyuka. Lixesha lokugatya ingcinga yokuba indlela engafanelekanga, engenabundlobongela ayisebenzi. Enyanisweni, kukhumbuza into eyenziwa nguWinston Churchill malunga nentando yesininzi, ukuba yindlela embi kakhulu karhulumente-ngaphandle kwabo bonke abanye. Ukungabikho kobundlobongela yeyona ndlela imbi yokulawula impixano-ngaphandle kwabo bonke abanye.
Asigcini nje ngokudala abanqolobi ngakumbi xa ngempazamo okanye ngempazamo sikhupha isibhedlele, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, sidala iqula elibanzi, elinzulu lovelwano kulo naluphi na uhlobo lovukelo oluchasene ne-US. Ngelixa kuyinyani ukuba uvelwano kunye nenkxaso yabanqolobi akukho ndawo ikufutshane nenkxaso yovukelo oluxhobileyo-kwaye kukho umahluko omkhulu-kutheni eMhlabeni sinokuthi siqhubeke siqinisekisa ukuba le mfazwe yehlabathi jikelele yoloyiko isisigxina?
Kutheni ngokwenene? Kukho abo bazuza isikhundla, amandla, kunye nemali ngokuqhubekeka kwale mfazwe yoyikekayo. Aba ngabona bantu baphembelela kakhulu imfazwe.
Abo bantu bafanele bangahoywa ngokupheleleyo. Kufuneka silungise oku ngezinye iindlela. Sinako, kwaye sifanele.
Ukuba i-US ingaphinda icinge ngeendlela zayo zolawulo longquzulwano inokuza kwizisombululo ngaphandle kokuphalala kwegazi. Enye ingxaki kukuba ngubani ocelwe ukuba acebise abo bathatha izigqibo. Kwamanye amazwe amagosa athethathethana nezifundiswa neengcali zolamlo, uthethathethwano, uncedo loluntu kunye nophuhliso oluzinzileyo. Loo mazwe agcina uxolo ngokulunge ngakumbi. Uninzi-umz. INorway, iDenmark, iSweden-zinemilinganiselo engcono yokuphila kwabemi kunokuba senza e-US.
Sinako ukunceda. Njengomzekelo kwihemisphere yethu, abavukeli kunye norhulumente waseKholombiya balwa imfazwe yeminyaka engama-52, icala ngalinye lenza izenzo ezimanyumnyezi ezininzi kunye nentlalo-ntle yomntu oqhelekileyo waseColombia owabandezeleka ngaphezu kwesiqingatha senkulungwane. Ekugqibeleni, abaphengululi bezoxolo kunye neengxabano ezivela kwi-Kroc Institute bamenywa ukuba bancede—isihlandlo sokuqala ukuba nayiphi na inkqubo yemfundo kwintsimi yethu imenyelwa ukwenza oko eNtshona. Bazisa iimbono ezintsha yaye umphumo ovuyisayo kukuba ekugqibeleni—ekugqibeleni—abemi baseColombia banesivumelwano soxolo esityobelelweyo. Ewe, abavoti bayala, kodwa iinqununu zibuyele etafileni, kungekhona indawo yedabi, ukusebenza kwisivumelwano esivumelana ngakumbi.
Ndiyacela. Sinolwazi lokuphelisa lo mdaniso woyikekayo wokufa owaziwa ngokuba yimfazwe. Uluntu ngoku luyazi ukuba njani. Kodwa ngaba sinawo umyolelo? Ngaba singanyuka njengabavoti kwaye sifune abagqatswa bethu abaphumeleleyo ukuba bayeke ukuzigwagwisa malunga nendlela abaya kuba lukhuni ngayo kwaye babulale kwaye endaweni yoko sinyanzelise ukuba umgqatswa ophumeleleyo achaze kwaye azibophelele kwinkqubo yoxolo enemveliso engqiniweyo ukuba ivelisa inzuzo enkulu kunye neentlungu ezincinci ?
