"Kule minyaka embalwa edlulileyo, kunikwe imfazwe kwaye iimvumelwano zamazwe ngamazwe ziye zavuselela ngokukhawuleza, urhulumente wase-United States uhambelana ngokucacileyo nenkcazo yakhe yecandelo elinzima." - Arundhati Roy
Unayo impi enkulu yehlabathi, uza kuyisebenzisa, kunene? UDonald Trump kunye neqela lakhe, ekhokelwa nguMcebisi weSizwe soKhuseleko uJohn Bolton, badlala ngoku nje ngoku ngamazwe amabini angengokulawulwa kwe-US, Iran kunye Venezuela.
Kwabo sele beyazi ukuba imfazwe ayikho isihogo kuphela kodwa ingabi ncam, umbuzo ogqithisileyo ngokugqithiseleyo kule mizobo emitsha yokubulala ubuxhakaxhaka unqumla umbuzo ocacileyo: Unokumiswa njani? Umbuzo omkhulu uqala ngegama elithi "kutheni" aze aphule ibe ngamaqhekeza ayiwaka.
Kutheni imfazwe yokuqala - kwaye iyabonakala iyona yedwa - ukungaboni ngaso Kutheni i-sacrosanct yethu yebhajethi yeminyaka yamarriliyoni yonyaka? Kutheni singafundanga kwimbali yokuba iimfazwe zisekelwe ebuxoki? Kutheni amajelo aseburhulumenteni asoloko ekhusela "kwimpi" elandelayo (nantoni na) nangomdla onjalo? Kutheni kubonakala ukuba ukuthanda ubuzwe kukufuna inkolelo kwiintshaba? Kutheni usenza we sinezixhobo zenukliya? Kutheni (njengokuba intatheli uColman McCarthy wayebuze) ngaba sisidlobongela kodwa singafundi?
Makhe sijonge i-Iran embi. Njengoko CNN kutshanje ingxelo:
I-Advocate yeSizwe soKhuseleko uJohn Bolton uthe kwintetho ebhaliweyo ngeSonto ukuba i-US ayifuni ukulwa ne-Iran, kodwa yayisetyenziselwa i-USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group kunye nesigqeba somsebenzi we-bomber kwisithili sase-US Central Command eMiddle East ' ukuba uthumele umyalezo ocacileyo nongenakuphikiswa kumbuso we-Iranian ukuba nayiphi na ukuhlaselwa kwiintlanga zaseMelika okanye kwiintlangano zethu ziya kuhlanganyelwa ngamandla angapheliyo. '"
Nobunobhala kaRhulumente uMike Pompeo, ejongene nombandela ngokuphazamiseka nokungazibandakanyi, wathi kubathengi, ngokutsho kwe-CNN, "Yintoni esizama ukuyenza kukuba i-Iran iziphatha njengesizwe esiqhelekileyo."
"Isizwe esiqhelekileyo" sisayiphendula njani isongelo esingapheliyo kunye nezohlwayo? Ngokukhawuleza okanye kamva kwakuza kubuya. UNgqongqoshe wezeMaphandle wase-Iranian Javad Zarif, uthetha kutshanje eNew York, wachaza oko: "Isicingi sokunyusa i-Iran ukuba ithathe isenzo. Bese usebenzisa oko. "
Yisebenzise, ngamanye amagama, njengesizathu sokuya kwimfazwe.
Futhi ukuya empini ngumdlalo wezopolitiko, isigqibo esenziwe okanye esingenziwanga ngabantu abambalwa abalulekileyo - iBolton, iPompeo, iTump - ngelixa uluntu jikelele lujonge nokuba luxhasa noma lukhuni, kodwa nokuba yintoni indlela ababukeli ngayo. Le nto ibangela ukuba kunzima kakhulu, kungabikho "kutheni?" Kutheni imfazwe ibe ngumyalelo ophezulu ngaphezu kwesigqibo, esidlangalaleni? Kodwa ndicinga ukuba impendulo yalo mbuzo icacile: Asikwazi ukuya kwimfazwe engazange ihlelwe ngaphambili yiqela elincinci labantu abanamandla. Wonke uluntu kufuneka akwenze. . . kakhulu, akukho nto.
Elham Pourtaher, isi-Iranian esiya esikolweni kwimeko yaseNew York, yenza le nkcazo ngokuqonda okuphakamileyo: "Uluntu lwaseburhulumenteni wase-US kufuneka lubandakanye imbono yehlabathi jikelele kumgaqo-nkqubo welizwe langaphandle. Abemi base-US kufuneka baqonde ngakumbi ukuba iivoti zabo zinemiphumo emibi ngaphaya kwemida yabo yelizwe. . . . (Wabo) Umgaqo-nkqubo welizwe lolawulo olukhethiweyo ngumcimbi wobomi nokufa kubemi bakwamanye amazwe, ngakumbi eMbindi Mpuma. "
Uyabhala kwakhona ukuba "imfazwe sele iqalile. Izigwebo zase-US zivelisa inqanaba lokubandezeleka okufana nelo xesha lokulwa. Izigwebo ngokwenene yimfazwe eyayiqhutywa yi-United States ngokumelene ne-Iranian-work and class-classes. La maqela alwela ukufikelela kwimigangatho njengoko ukungaqeshwa kwemisebenzi kunyuke ngokukhawuleza kwanjengokuba izinga lokunyuka kwamaxabiso liphezulu. Abantu abafanayo ukuba ulawulo lweTrump luzenza ngathi ufuna ukukhulula yiloo elibethe kanzima yimigaqo-nkqubo ye-US e-Middle East. "
Kwaye, ewe, abo bafumana amandla kwiimfazwe zemfazwe zase-US "yizona ziqendu ezingapheliyo kwi-Iranian state." Le ndlela ihlala isebenza ngayo. Ubundlobongela obukhohlakeleyo bubangela ubundlobongela. Imfazwe yenkxwaleko ibangela ukwesabisa. Kutheni singasazi oku okwamanje?
Okona kuncinci, ukucaphukisa, kubandakanywa nokuba iTump icinga ukuthumela imikhosi kule ndawo, "yenze imeko apho wonke umntu ngoku ukhathazeka ukuba enye indlela yemfazwe engxamisekileyo ibonakala kakhulu kuba unako amaninzi amabutho ase-US kunye ne-Iranian mabutho ibe yincinci yendawo, " Trita Parsi, umsunguli weSizwe sase-Iranian American Council, wathi kwintetho yodliwano-ndlebe.
Uluntu loluntu luhlelwe ngendlela enokuthi imfazwe, inhloso okanye ingozi, ingenakugwema rhoqo. Kwaye ekuqhubeni kule mfazwe, yimibuzo encinci kuphela ebuzwa ngamajelo eendaba, ejikeleza ngeenxa zonke: Ngaba oku kulungile? Akunakuze, "Ngaba lo bulumko? Ngaba le yinto ekhethekileyo? "Ukuba into eyanelisayo isenziwa ngumtshaba - iNyakatho yeVietnam ihlasela umkhombe waseUnited States eTonkin Gulf, i-Iraq ithenga iibhubhu zeruminium - ke" asinakho ukukhetha "kodwa ukuziphindezela ngesilinganiso esikhulu.
Imibuzo emikhulu ifike emva kwangoko, njengolu bhozo oluvela kumfazi waseSyria emva kokuhlaselwa komoya ohlangeneyo kwisixeko saseRaqqa, ecatshulwe Amnesty International ingxelo:
"Ndabona unyana wam efa, etshiswa ngophahla phambi kwam. Ndilahlekelwe ngumntu wonke othandekayo kum. Abantwana bam abane, umyeni wam, umama, udadewethu, intsapho yam yonke. Ngaba kwakungekho njongo yokukhulula abahlali? Babesindise ukuba basindise abantwana bethu. "
