Ukuphela Kwemfazwe Kungabonakala Njani

NguDavid Swanson, World BEYOND War, Septemba 5, 2021

Xa ucinga ukuphela kwemfazwe, ngaba ucinga ukuba uMongameli wase-US ukhala ngendleko zomntu zeendleko zemfazwe ngelixa kwangaxeshanye efuna ukuba iCongress inyuse inkcitho yezomkhosi- kwaye ngelixa ikhankanya iimfazwe ezintsha ezinokuthi ziqaliswe?

Ngaba unomfanekiso wakhe evuthela iintsapho ngemijukujelwa evela kwiinqwelomoya, kwaye esenza ukuzibophelela ekuqhubekeni noqhankqalazo ngelixa egcina ukuba ezo zinto azenzi ukuqhubeka nemfazwe?

Ngaba unethemba lokuba ukuba iimfazwe zenkululeko ziye zaphela singayifumana inkululeko yethu, amalungelo ethu okubonisa ukubuyiselwa, umthetho wePatriot ushenxisiwe, amapolisa endawo asusa iitanki zawo kunye nezixhobo zemfazwe, imeko yomhlaba ihluthwe zonke iikhamera kunye nezixhobo zokujonga iintsimbi kunye neglasi engqina ngembumbulu esele ikhulile amashumi amabini eminyaka?

Ngaba ubucinga ukuba abantu kwizisele zaseGuantanamo abangazange babe “kumlo wedabi” abasayi kuphinda bajongwe njengezisongelo zokuba “babuyele” khona xa imfazwe “iphelile”?

Ngaba ubucinga ukuba ngaphandle kwemfazwe kunokubakho into efana noxolo, kubandakanya nozakuzo, ukuphakanyiswa kwezohlwayo, okanye ukungavunyelwa kweasethi?

Ngaba mhlawumbi unethemba lokuxolisa kunye nembuyekezo yokuhamba kunye nokuvuma ukuba ezinye zezizathu eziphambili zomlo (ezinje "ngokwakha isizwe") zazibubudenge?

Ngaba ubulindele ukuba uMongameli wase-US kwangaxeshanye aphelise imfazwe kunye noku-odola inkcitho ephezulu yasemkhosini uku-odola amaxwebhu ngendima yase-Saudi Arabia kwi-9/11 eyenziwe esidlangalaleni ngelixa ethengisa izixhobo ezingakumbi eSaudi Arabia?

Ngaba wanele umphuphi ukuba ungacinga ukuba kuya kwenziwa ufundo olunzulu ngabafileyo, abonzakeleyo, abaxhwalekileyo, kunye nabangenamakhaya- mhlawumbi sinokubona ingxelo eyoneleyo kwabo babulewe yimfazwe ngenxalenye ethile yoluntu lwase-US Ukwazi ukuba, njengakwiimfazwe zonke zakutshanje, ngaphezulu kwama-90% amaxhoba ebekwelinye icala, kwaye leliphi icala elalikho?

Ngaba ubunethemba lokuba ubuncinci kuthintelo ekubekeni ityala abo bantu, abanye bayeke emfazweni balele ezindala nezintsha? Ngaba ubuye waqonda, ngokunzulu, ukuba ingxelo malunga nokupheliswa kwemfazwe ikakhulu iya kuba malunga nobundlobongela kunye nenkohlakalo yokuyiphelisa, hayi ukuyenza? Ngaba itshonile ezincwadini zembali nakumaphephandaba azokuxelela abantu ngonaphakade ukuba urhulumente wase-US wayefuna ukubeka u-Osama bin Laden ematyaleni kodwa iTaliban yakhetha imfazwe, ngaphandle kokuba kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo amaphephandaba axela okwahlukileyo?

Ewe, akukho mntu wacinga ukuba abantu abasebenza iminyaka engama-20 ukuphelisa imfazwe bavunyelwe kumabonwakude. Kodwa ubusazi ukuba iingcali kumaza esasaza ubukhulu becala ikwangabo bantu bakhuthaze imfazwe kwasekuqaleni kwaye, kwiimeko ezininzi, baxhamla kakhulu kuyo?

Akukho mntu ucinga iNkundla yamaTyala oLwaphulo-mthetho yeHlabathi okanye iNkundla yeHlabathi egweba abantu abangengabo abantu baseAfrika, kodwa ngaba umntu ebengenakucinga ngokungekho semthethweni kwemfazwe ukuba sisihloko sencoko?

Incoko ekuphela kwayo evunyelweyo yenye yohlaziyo lwemfazwe, hayi ukuyiphelisa. Ndiyabulela kakhulu iitoni zomsebenzi owenziwe ziiNdleko zeProjekthi yeMfazwe, kodwa hayi ingxelo yokuba kule minyaka ingama-20 idlulileyo yemfazwe ibiza i-8 yezigidi zeedola. Ndiyayixabisa iitoni zomsebenzi owenziwe liZiko leMfundo loMgaqo-nkqubo, mhlawumbi ngakumbi ukunika ingxelo yabo kwi-21 yezigidi zeerandi urhulumente wase-US ayichithe kwezomkhosi kule minyaka ingama-20 idlulileyo. Ndiyazi ngokupheleleyo ukuba akukho mntu unokucinga ngenani elikhulu njengelinye inani. Kodwa andicingi ukuba inkcitho yemfazwe kunye nenkcitho yamalungiselelo emfazwe kunye nokuzuza emfazweni kule minyaka ingama-20 idlulileyo kuye kwaba yi-38% engalunganga. Ndicinga ukuba yi-100% engalunganga. Ndiyi-100% ndiyazi ukuba kunokwenzeka kakhulu ukuba siyilinganise kancinci kunokuba siyiphelise ngaxeshanye. Kodwa singathetha ngeendleko ezipheleleyo zemfazwe, endaweni yokuhlengahlengisa uninzi lwazo (ngokungathi ziyinto eyenye ngaphandle kwemfazwe), ngaphandle kwento esiphakamisa ukuba siyenze ngayo.

Ukuba umahluko phakathi kwe- $ 8 trillion kunye ne-21 yezigidigidi zeedola awunakuqondakala, ubuncinci sinokubona ubuninzi bezinto ezilungileyo umntu anokuzenza ukuba ebethunyelwa kwiimfuno zabantu nezokusingqongileyo. Singaqonda ubuncinci ukuba enye iphantse iphindwe kathathu enye. Kwaye mhlawumbi siyawubona umahluko phakathi kwamanani amancinci kakhulu, i-3 yezigidigidi zeedola kunye ne-25 yezigidigidi zeedola.

Uninzi lwabaphembeleli kwaye -ukubathatha ngelizwi labo-kwanamalungu amaninzi eCongress afuna inkcitho yomkhosi ancitshiswe ngokumangalisayo kwaye afuduselwa kwiindawo ezichithayo zenkcitho. Unokufumana uninzi lwaMalungu eCongress kunye namakhulu amaqela oxolo ukusayina iileta okanye amatyala enkxaso ukunciphisa inkcitho yomkhosi ngepesenti ye-10. Kodwa xa uBiden ecetyisa UKWANDISA inkcitho yezomkhosi, aMalungu eCongress ahamba phambili "aqhubeka nokuchasa nakuphi na ukunyuka ngaphaya kweBiden, ngokwenza njalo aqhele iBiden- ngamanye amaqela oxolo ekhawulezisa loo mgca mtsha.

Ewe kunjalo, ndiyaphikisana nokonyuka kwe- $ 25 yezigidigidi, kodwa ndiyala ngakumbi ukunyusa i-37 yezigidigidi zeedola nangona inxenye yayo ixhaswe ngu-Biden ngelixa elinye icandelo lilinge le-bipartisan umzamo weCongress onokuthi uthinte nzima kwaye uzenza ngathi unetyala kumaRiphabhlikhi nje.

Kutheni le nto ndinenkcaso eninzi, eyoyikisayo, neyantlukwano ngeli xesha loxolo olukhulu kunye nokukhanya kunye nesisombululo - ekugqibeleni - "semfazwe ende kakhulu kwimbali yase-US" (ngokude amaMelika aseMelika ayingobantu)?

Kuba ndicinga into eyahlukileyo xa ndicinga ngokuphelisa imfazwe.

Ndicinga ngesisombululo, uxolelwaniso, kunye nembuyekezo- kubandakanya ukubekwa ityala lokutshutshiswa. Ndicinga ukuxolisa kunye nokufunda kwezifundo. Xa umbhali-mbali omnye okanye itshantliziyo elinoxolo belinokwenza umsebenzi ongcono kunalo lonke elomkhosi- umatshini "wezopolitiko" ngokwala ishishini elihlanyayo lokubulala abantu abaninzi (njengeLungu elinye leCongress), ndilindele ukuba utshintsho oluthile- isikhokelo sokuphuma ngokuthe ngcembe kwishishini lemfazwe, hayi ekufumaneni iimfazwe ezilandelayo "zilungile."

Ndifanisa iikhomishini zenyaniso kunye noxanduva lokuphendula. Ndiyacinga ngotshintsho lwezinto eziphambili ngokubaluleka, ukuze i-3% yenkcitho yezomkhosi yase-US enokuthi iphelise indlala eMhlabeni iyayenza-kunye neziganeko ezifanayo ezifanayo kwezinye i-97%.

Ndicinga ukuba i-US ubuncinci iphelisa ukurhweba ngeengalo, iyeke ukugcwalisa umhlaba ngezixhobo zase-US, kwaye ivala iziseko ezibonisa umhlaba zibangela inkathazo. Xa iiTaliban zibuza ukuba zimbi kangakanani kune-Saudi Arabia kunye nenqwaba yabanye oorhulumente abaxhaswa yi-US, ndilindele impendulo-impendulo ethile, nayiphi na impendulo-kodwa impendulo yona i-US iyakuyeka ukuxhasa oorhulumente abacinezelayo naphina, hayi nje indawo enye ebanga ukuba iphelisa imfazwe yayo (ngaphandle kokuqhubeka nokuqhushumba).

Inyaniso yokuba ngaphezulu kwekota ezintathu zoluntu lwase-US luxelela amajelo eendaba ukuba axhasa ukuphela kwemfazwe (kulandela iindaba ezingapheliyo "zokugubungela" ukuphela kwemfazwe iyintlekele), icebisa kum ukuba andindedwa ekunqweneleni okuthile okungcono kancinci kunale nto siyifumanayo kwindlela yokuphelisa iimfazwe.
