Kwesinye isikhathi imidiya yethu ethambile futhi ethobelayo iphakamisa ucezu lweqiniso. Ngokwesibonelo:
"Izikhulu zaseMelika zazibikezele ukuthi isiteleka semicibisholo sizoholela ekushintsheni okukhulu ekubaleni kuka-Assad, kodwa ukuhlasela kwe-US kubonakale kuwumfuziselo eqinisweni. Kungakapheli amahora angu-24 isiteleka, izinhlangano eziqaphayo zabika ukuthi izindiza zempi seziphinde zasuka esikhungweni sezindiza saseShayrat esasiqhunyiswe ngamabhomu, kulokhu ukuze zihlasele izikhundla ze-Islamic State.”
Lesi sigaba ku-a Washington Post Indaba ibhekisela, yebo, emicibisholo ye-59 Tomahawk cruise uDonald Trump wazuza izincomo ezinjalo zokuqalisa ngokumelene neSiriya ngo-Ephreli 7. Ngokungazelelwe wayengumkhuzi wethu omkhulu, elwa impi - noma, kahle . . . egijima “iqiniso elingokomfanekiso,” noma ngabe lokho kusho ukuthini, ngezindleko (zemicibisholo ecitshwayo) mhlawumbe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-83 noshintsho.
Futhi sikhuluma “ngezindleko”: Kusukela lapho, ukuhlasela kwezindiza okuholwa yi-US okuholwa yi-US kuhlasele amadolobhana amaningi aseSyria, kwashona okungenani izakhamuzi ezingama-20 (iningi labo okuyizingane) kwalimaza inqwaba yabanye. Futhi i-Human Rights Watch isanda kukhipha umbiko onamakhasi angu-16 ephikisa izizathu ezisemthethweni zase-US mayelana ne-mosque eyaqhunyiswa ngebhomu e-Aleppo enyangeni edlule, eyabulala inqwaba yezakhamizi ngenkathi ithandaza.
"Izwe laseMelika kubukeka sengathi lithole izinto eziningi ezingalungile kulokhu kuhlasela, futhi inqwaba yabantu ikhokhe inani." Kusho u-Ole Solvang, isekela lomqondisi wezimo eziphuthumayo we-Human Rights Watch, njengoba ecashunwe yi- Associated Press. "Iziphathimandla zaseMelika kumele zibone ukuthi konakelephi, ziqale ukwenza umsebenzi wazo wesikole ngaphambi kokuthi zihlasele, futhi ziqinisekise ukuthi azenzeki futhi."
Qaphela, amasosha ase-US: Okungahambi kahle ukuthi ukuqhuma kwamabhomu akufezi lutho, ngaphandle kokukhafula ukufa, ukwesaba nenzondo. Azisebenzi. Impi ayisebenzi. Leli yiqiniso elinganakwa kakhulu ekhulwini lama-21. Iqiniso lesibili elinganakwa kakhulu ukuthi singadala ukuthula ngaphandle kobudlova, ngokusebenza kanzima, ukubekezela nesibindi. Ngempela, isintu sesivele senza kanjalo - ikakhulukazi, vele, ngaphezu kokuqwashisa kwabezindaba zebhizinisi, abangenzi lutho njengokuqhubekisela phambili lokho uWalter Wink akubize ngokuthi Inganekwane Yobudlova Bokuhlenga.
“Ngamafuphi,” kubhala uWink kwethi The Powers That Be, “Inganekwane Yokuhlukunyezwa Okuhlengayo iyindaba yokunqoba kokuhleleka kwezinxushunxushu ngobudlova. Iwumbono wokunqoba, inkolo yokuqala yesimo esikhona. Onkulunkulu bathanda labo abanqobayo. Ngokuphambene, noma ubani onqobayo kufanele athole umusa wonkulunkulu. . . . Ukuthula ngempi, ukulondeka ngamandla: lezi izinkolelo eziyinhloko ezivela kule nkolo yasendulo yomlando, futhi zakha isisekelo esiqinile lapho i-Domination System yakhiwe kuyo yonke imiphakathi.”
Faka I-Peaceforce ye-Nonviolent kanye nezinye izinhlangano ezinesibindi zokwakha ukuthula emhlabeni wonke.
Kusukela ngo-2002, i-NP ibiqeqesha, ithumela futhi ikhokhela ochwepheshe abangahlomile ukuthi bangene ezindaweni zempi kule planethi enezinkathazo futhi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ivikele izakhamuzi ebudloveni futhi isungule ukuxhumana okubalulekile kuyo yonke imigqa yezenkolo, yezombangazwe kanye neminye ehlukanisa amaqembu alwayo. Njengamanje, le nhlangano inamaqembu asezindaweni zasePhilippines, eSouth Sudan, eMyanmar naseMpumalanga Ephakathi, okuhlanganisa neSyria - lapho inesibonelelo seminyaka emithathu esivela ku-European Union ukuze ihlanganyele ekuvikelweni kwezakhamuzi.
Umsunguli we-NP uMel Duncan, ekhombisa ngolunye usuku ukuhlasela kukamongameli kwakamuva, nokungasho lutho nhlobo kwezikhali ezicitshwayo eSyria - kanye nezindleko ezingeyona ingxenye yokubika - wangitshela, ngokuthi, ngingaqagela, ukudelela okukhulu, ukuthi uma lolo hlobo lwemali. zatshalwa, esikhundleni salokho, ezinhlanganweni ezibandakanyekayo emsebenzini wokulamula emigqeni yamaqembu kanye nokuvikelwa kwezakhamizi, "Sizobona umphumela ohluke kakhulu."
Ngokungazi kwabezindaba abangenalwazi, kunezinkulungwane zabantu eSyria abenza lo msebenzi. Nokho: “Akukho ndawo kwabezindaba,” esho, “lapho sibona khona abantu abenze umsebenzi wokwakha ukuthula benikezwa noma yiluphi uhlobo lokulalelwa ngenhlonipho.”
Ngakho-ke isenzo sezempi esinodlame sibikwa ngokungapheli futhi kuxoxiswana ngaso njengokuphela kwenketho, okungenani noma kuphi lapho i-US namadlelandawonye ayo kanye nezitha zayo abanentshisekelo yokuvikela. Futhi inganekwane yokubusa - inganekwane yodlame lokuhlenga - iqhutshekwa ekuqapheleni okuhlangene kwengxenye enkulu yomhlaba. Ukuthula kuyinto ebekwe phezulu futhi igcinwe kuphela ngobudlova kanye nokujeziswa. Futhi uma kunezingxoxo, okuwukuphela kwabantu etafuleni abafana abaphethe izibhamu, okungenzeka bamele izithakazelo zabo ngaphezu kwanoma yiziphi izithakazelo zomphakathi.
Okunye okulahlekile ezingxoxweni eziningi zokuthula ngabesifazane. “Izithakazelo” zabo, njengokuphepha kwezingane zabo, zincishiswa kalula futhi azinakwa. Kodwa esikudingayo “ukubamba iqhaza okuphelele kwabesifazane,” kuphawula uDuncan. "Uma kukhona abesifazane ababambe iqhaza ngokugcwele ohlelweni lwezingxoxo zokuthula, ithuba lokuthula lithuthuke kakhulu."
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuphepha nokuphila kwabesifazane ngokwabo, ingasaphathwa yenkululeko yabo, kuseyinye inhlekelele yempi ngokuvamile enganakwa noma ehlehliswayo. Isibonelo esisodwa nje, kusuka UNwomen.org: “Emazweni anezingxabano nangemuva kwezingxabano, ukufa komama ngokwesilinganiso kuphakeme ngokuphindwe izikhathi ezingu-2.5. Izibalo ezingaphezu kwengxenye yokufa komama emhlabeni zenzeka ezifundazweni ezinezingxabano nezintekenteke, kanti amazwe angu-10 aqhuba kabi kakhulu ngokufa komama bebeletha wonke kungaba izingxabano noma amazwe angemva kwezingxabano.”
Ngokusho kwesizinda se-UN, izindleko ezilinganiselwe zobudlova emhlabeni wonke ngonyaka ka-2015 zazingama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-13.6, noma "ngaphezu kwe-US $ 1,800 ngomuntu ngamunye emhlabeni."
Ukusangana kwalokhu kuphambene nokuqonda. Engxenyeni yekhulu leminyaka edlule, uMartin Luther King wakubeka ngalendlela: “Sisenokuzikhethela nanamuhla: ukuhlalisana ngokungenabudlova noma ukubhujiswa ndawonye ngobudlova.”
