Emuva kwi-1890 abo babekholelwa ukubayisa ilizwekazi bebabulala ngokwaneleyo (ngaphandle kokuthatha iHawaii, iPhilippines, eCuba, ePuerto Rico, njl.) Baquka uSomlomo weNdlu uThomas Reed. Watshintsha inqaku eliphuma kwiphephandaba malunga ne-lynching eNingizimu Carolina. Wawunqumla umxholo othi "Olunye Uthukuthelo eCuba." Wadityanisa le mibini (iindaba eziyinyaniso!) Waza wabanikela kwiCongressman yaseSouth Carolina owayeyilwela imfazwe eCuba. Indoda yeCongress yayifunayo ngokukhawuleza le nqaku, emva koko yema, yabukeka ididekile, yathi "Kutheni, akuyikho iCuba."
Ndiyincoma ukuzama eli qhinga. Khuphela i-athikili malunga nama-Israyeli abulala amaPalestina, okanye ukuthukuthela ejele lase-US okanye kwisikwere saseSaudi okanye ngaphantsi kwemvula yeebhomu zeziluntu e-Afghanistan, ePakistan, eSiriya, eYemen, eSomalia, e-Iraq, e-Libya okanye kwenye indawo; unamathisele ngaphantsi kwesihloko esiphambili malunga ne-Iran, iNorth Korea, uBashar al Assad, okanye uVladimir Putin. Yibonakalise kumntu osondeleyo kwilungu lakho leCongress okanye i-senator enokukwazi ukungena kwigumbi elinye okanye ukufikelela nge-imeyile. Okanye ubonise nje umntu onenkathazo ukuba abe nomabonwakude.
Izidumbu zifanele ziveze ngenxa yokuba ziphi, kungekhona ngenxa yokuba ngubani ozenzayo. Inhlanhla enokufumana ukuba kunjalo kwi-United States namhlanje!
Nantsi inkcazelo evela kwincwadi yam entsha, Ukuphulukisa ngaphandle:
Ngaphandle kobuzwe obukhethekileyo, njengokuba mhlawumbi kuzo zonke iintlanga, "thina" kufuneka sithathe umntu wokuqala onobuninzi bephila iminyaka emininzi, ukuze "silwe namaBrithani" kwaye "siwunqobe iMfazwe yamaCold". idibene nenkolelo yokuphakama okugqithisileyo, ikhokelela umkhokeli ngokubhekiselele kwizinto ezintle "esizenzayo," kunye nezinto ezihlazo "esizenzayo," nangona yena ngokwakhe engafanele akhange ahlawulwe ngetyala lakhe ngaphambili. U-George Orwell wabhala wathi: "Uhlanga lukazwelonke alugcini nje ukungazivumelani neentlondi ezenziwa yedwa, kodwa unamandla okumangalisa ukuva ngabo."[i]
Kwiphepha le-1 yencwadi yeCheneys: "Siqinisekisile inkululeko, ukhuseleko, noxolo kwisabelo esikhulu somntu kunalo nawuphi na uhlanga kuwo wonke umlando."[ii] Amabango anjalo, njengalokhu apha, ngokungaqhelekanga angaphantsi kwezantsi okanye achazwe. Ngokomxholo wolu landelayo, ibango ibonakala ngokusekelwe ekuhlaziyweni kweMfazwe Yehlabathi II njengokukhuthaza inkululeko nokuthula, kwaye kwimbali yeMfazwe Yehlabathi II eshiya isabelo seengonyama se-Allies eYurophu ukuba lwenziwe yiSoviet Union.
Ibango elithi "thina" ngabakhokeli bezoxolo kunye nenkululeko, ngokuqinisekileyo, isekelwe kwiimfazwe zase-US kunye neemveliso zezixhobo ukususela kwiMfazwe Yehlabathi II. Ngokuqinisekileyo, ukuba ubani olwa neemfazwe ezininzi kwaye avelise izixhobo ezininzi zizisa uxolo kunye nenkululeko emhlabeni, ngoko i-United States ithatha isihloko. Kodwa ngaphandle kweUnited States, le ngcamango ayikude yamukelwa-yinto ephikisanayo. Amazwe amaninzi atyhulwa ngoDisemba 2013 nguGallup ebizwa eUnited States enkulu usongo uxolo ehlabathini.[iii] Uphando olwenziwa nguPew ku-2017 lufumene iziphumo ezifanayo.[iv]
Ekubeni iMfazwe Yehlabathi II, ngexesha leemfundiso zabanye base-United States ezicingela njengoluhlobo lwexolo, imikhosi yase-US ibulale okanye incede ukubulala abantu abayi-20 yezigidi, bachithwa ubuncinane oorhulumente be-36, baphazamisa ubuncinane ukhetho lwangaphandle lwe-84, bazama ukubulala Izikhokeli zangaphandle ze-50, kwaye zawahlalisa amabhomu kubantu abangaphezu kwe-30 kumazwe.[v] Imikhosi yemikhosi yase-US ixabisa phantse njengamanye amabutho ehlabathi ahlangeneyo, ngelixa i-US, amalungu e-NATO kunye nabadibaniselwano babo babhala iikota ezintathu zemali yehlabathi yemali. Izixhobo ezijongene nezixhobo zase-US ziyingqayizivele kwindlela yokukhokela bonke abanye, kodwa zibandakanya kakhulu ngokubhekiselele kubaxhasi babo. I-United States, njengoko ikhankanywe ngasentla, njenge-2017 inike izixhobo kwaye kwiimeko ezininzi ukuqeqesha kwi-73 ipesenti yehlabathi zolawulo.[vi] Ngokuqinisekileyo kunokwenzeka ukufumana iziphumo ezilungileyo kwezinye zezi zinto, kodwa ukuqonda kakuhle kwamehlo kudinga ukulinganisela okulungileyo kumbi. Ingaba ihlabathi lihluleka ukuxabisa yonke le polisi yomhlaba wonke eyenziwe ngamacandelo? Okanye ngaba imodeli yamapolisa iphosakele kakhulu?
Ukuphepha ukugxeka kobuzwe, okanye ukuzibonakalisa "kuthi," ingozi yokuvumela ukupha ukuba isebenze njengesigubungelo somgangatho obini. Yintoni abantu baseMelika abanokucinga ukuba omnye uhlanga lufanele lwenze inkululeko yaso-ekhuthaza emhlabeni jikelele? Oku kuya kuba ngumsebenzi "wesizwe esibuhlungu." Nasi inani leziseko zemikhosi ehlabathini elikhoyo ngaphandle kwemida yabo yeentlanga:[vii]
EUnited States - 800
Russia - 9
EFransi - 8
United Kingdom - 8
Japan - 1
South Korea - 1
I-Netherlands - 1
India - 1
Australia - 1
I-Chile - 1
Turkey - 1
Si rayeli - 1
Ku-2007, umongameli wase-Ecuador watshele iUnited States ukuba ikwazi ukugcina isiseko sayo e-Ecuador nje ngokuba i-Ecuador ingenakho eMamiami, eFlorida.[viii] Le ngcamango yayiyikhohlisi kwaye inomsindo.
Kwiinkqubo ezinkulu ze-United Nations ze-18, amalungelo e-United States ayingxenye ye-5, ngaphantsi kweyiphi na isizwe emhlabeni, ngaphandle kweBhutan (4), kunye noMalaya, iMyanmar kunye neSouth Sudan, ilizwe eligqitywe yimfazwe ukususela indalo yayo kwi-2011.[ix] Ngaba iUnited States isebenza njengomthetho wehlabathi wokubambisa kwindawo engaphandle kwemithetho yehlabathi? Okanye enye into eqhubekayo?
Ukuba iUnited States yenzile into ayifanele ilukhusele okanye ingayiphi na loo nto. Iimpawu kufuneka zime okanye ziwele kwiimpawu zazo. Kodwa amaCheneys asitshela ukuba simele sibone "ukuhlukana kokuziphatha phakathi kwesixhobo senyukliya sase-Iranian kunye nomnye waseMerika." Ngaba kufuneka simele ngokwenene? Kungakhathaliseki ukuba ubungozi obuninzi obuninzi, ukusetyenziswa ngengozi, ukusetyenziswa kweenkokheli ezidangelekileyo, ukufa komzimba kunye nokubhujiswa, inhlekelele yendalo, ukunyuka kokuphindisela, kunye ne-apocalypse. Enye yezizwe zimbini inezixhobo zenukliya[X], uye wasebenzisa izixhobo zenuzi[xi], uye walungiselela enye izicwangciso zezixhobo zenuzi[xii], inomgaqo wokusetyenziswa kokuqala kwezixhobo zenukliya[xiii], unenkokheli yokuba izigwebo zinezixhobo zenukliya[xiv], kwaye sele esongela ukusebenzisa izixhobo zenukliya[xv]. Andicingi ukuba ezo nyaniso ziza kwenza isikhali enyukliya ezandleni zezinye iindawo ezincinci zokuziphatha.
Ukuba uyamangaliswa, abaongameli base-US abaye benza izinto ezisetyenzisiweyo zikarhulumente okanye ezifihlakeleyo kwezinye iintlanga, esiziyo, zibandakanya uHarry Truman, uDwight Eisenhower, uRichard Nixon, uGeorge HW Bush, uBill Clinton noDonald Trump, ngoxa abanye , kubandakanywa noBarack Obama, baye bathetha izinto ezifana "Zonke izinto ezikhethwa kwitheyibhile" ngokumalunga ne-Iran okanye elinye ilizwe.[xvi]
