Kuyindida ebuhlungu kumaSulumane aseMelika okwathi ngobusuku bangaphambi kokuhlasela kwe-Iraq i-US abhala (Boston Globe Feb. 5, 2003):
“Njengezakhamuzi eziqotho zaleli zwe sikholwa wukuthi ukuze iMelika ilwe ne-Iraq kungaba nemiphumela eyinhlekelele. Ezweni lamaSulumane ukubhebhetheka kwempi okunjalo kubukeka njengempi yokulwa ne-Islam engaqinisa i-ajenda ehlanekezelwe yabashisekeli futhi yehlise nethemba lokuqeda ubuphekula. Uma kubhekwa ulwazi olungaqondile mayelana ne-Islam kanye nendelelo aboniswa ngayo amaSulumane, kungase kubonakale kungenalo ubuzwe ngathi ukuphonsela inselelo impi yomculo wezigubhu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izimiso zethu zamaSulumane zidinga ukuthi ekwesabeni uNkulunkulu kufanele sikhulume ngokumelene nalokho esikubona njengokungabi nabulungisa okubi kakhulu okuzokwenzeka. Ngaleyo ndlela kungaba isenzo sokungalaleli uNkulunkulu kuphela kodwa ukuvukela izwe lakithi lapho sihluleka ukuveza ukukhathazeka kwethu kulokho esikholelwa ukuthi kuzuzisa izwe lethu kanye nomhlaba wonke.”
Akusiduduzi ukuthi isiprofetho sethu siye sabonakala siyiqiniso. Ukungqubuzana noSaddam bekungelona uhambo lwamakhekhe, njengoba kwabikezelwa ama-neocons. Ngokuphambene nalokho umsebenzi wethu waholela ekucekeleni phansi kwesizwe sonke kanye nomphakathi waso onamasiko amaningi, kwabangela ukubulawa ngesihluku kwamaSunni-Shia phakathi kwamahlelo ahlukene abanjwe kuqhunyiswa umlilo, futhi kwaholela ekuguqukeni kwe-Al-Qaeda e-Iraq okwabe sekulandelana. ISIS.
Okuxakayo wukuthi, njengase-Iraq lapho ubufakazi baqanjwa khona, kanjalo ne-Iran kulindeleke ukuthi umuntu amukele izinsolo zikaJohn Bolton ezingenabufakazi ezimelene ne-Iran emelene ne-US ukuze kuthethelelwe ukuhlasela okungapheli kwe-Iran. U-Bolton waphawula, ukuthi noma yikuphi ukuhlasela okungaba ngommeleli, i-Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, noma amabutho avamile ase-Irani kungathethelela impendulo yezempi yase-US enonya. Ngakho-ke, ukuhlasela okwethulwe "ummeleli" wase-Iran hhayi nje empahleni kodwa "izithakazelo" zase-US esifundeni noma "izithakazelo" zomlingani wase-US esifundeni, manje kuzokwanela ukuqala ukuhlasela kwe-US e-Iran, ngisho noma i-Iran ngokwayo yayingenalo icala ngokuqondile.
Lokhu kunikeza i-carte blanche yanoma yimuphi umsebenzi "wefulegi lamanga" ngokumelene ne-Iran. Ngazo zonke izinketho ezisetafuleni iBolton iphakamise ukusetha okuphelele kwenye impi engaphenduki noma ukuzithoba komuntu ongaphansi. Okwethusa kakhulu ngalesi simo esenzekayo ukuthi indoda eyodwa, uJohn Bolton, ongazange akhethwe muntu, kanye neSigele engazange isiqinisekise, kusobala ukuthi, yedwa, ngendlela efanele uDkt. izinhlelo zempi ze-Iran. Lokhu kuhlanganisa: Amabhomu e-B-52 akwazi ukuthwala amabhomu angamaphawundi angu-70,000 XNUMX; umthwali wendiza u-Abraham Lincoln, i-flotilla eyakhiwe i-guid-missile cruiser, nababhubhisi abane; kanye nesistimu ye-missile ye-Patriot ukuqedela i-armamentarium.
UTrump uthe uzophatha amazwe akhohlakele. Le mpi iwukugcwaliseka kwephupho lakhe. Imane iwukuziphindiselela, ibheke ohlangothini olulodwa ngokuphelele, futhi iklanyelwe ukuqothula izwe elenqaba ukudonsa ulayini waseMelika, futhi ngenxa yalokho sinethuba lokuwuphahlaza ukuze kubahlaseli.
Amazwi anjalo omuntu waseMelika “oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka weqiniso” angase abingelelwe ngokucasuka noma ngokweyisa; uvela kulowo onesizinda samaSulumane bekungaba smack of ukukhohlisa. akunjalo.
NgingumMelika oziqhenyayo futhi oyiMuslim eliziqhenyayo (angizichazi 'njengeMuslim laseMelika' noma 'umSulumane waseMelika' njengoba lingekho elinye ihlelo elichazwa ngenkolo yalo). Kodwa-ke njengeSulumane angisakwazi ukuhlobana nobuqaba be-Isis, njengoba nje ngingakwazi njengomMelika 'ezenzweni zonya' zokunqotshwa kwezwe lami ngaphambi kokucatshangelwa kwesizwe esizimele.
UJoseph Conrad wayechaze impucuko ngokuthi “ubudlova obucwengekile.” Yize kungekho noyedwa ongaphika ukuthi i-ISIS nabanye abantu bayo bafuna amaqembu angenacala abangawesabisa ngezenzo ezinyantisayo zokunqunywa kwesithombe (umuntu angathola unya olungakanani!) amele ukweqisa okunonya kwempucuko, asikwazi ukududuzeka ebuhleni bethu. impucuko yethu, ebonisa "unya olucwengekile" lapho sisebenzisa amandla amakhulu "eziteleka zokuhlinza abantu abangenacala" ukuze siqede izinkulungwane zezakhamuzi ezingenacala (impela "umonakalo oyisibambiso" kuwumphumela wemvelo wempi), ukudala izigidi zabantu abangenamakhaya nababaleki, ngokuhlelekile. susa emlandweni isiko elihle lamaPheresiya, futhi ulehlisele emfucumfucwini efanayo engabonakali esele e-Iraq, namakhulu “oziro” okungekho muntu osele ukubala noma akhale izinyembezi. Izindleko zezomnotho kanye nalokho ezimpilweni zaseMelika azinakulinganiswa.
UTim Kaine umemezele, "Ake ngicacise into eyodwa: Abaphathi bakaTrump abanalo igunya elisemthethweni lokuqala impi ne-Iran ngaphandle kwemvume yeCongress." URand Paul wayala uPompeo: "Awunayo imvume yokulwa ne-Iran."
Noma kunjalo uma uDkt. Strangelove ephishekela ukuthanda kwakhe impi, kuzoqinisekisa lokho umhlaba osukwazi kakade: i-US ayinakunqotshwa. Ukuthi lo mbukiso wamandla uzophoqa iNorth Korea ukuthi ithathe izintambo, noma uyinike amandla ukuthi iphume ngomsindo ithatha iNingizimu Korea, iJapan kanye namasosha angu-30,000 ase-US ajutshwe endaweni engenamasosha, kuwukugembula okukhulu. Isikhalazo esasenza ngo-2003 sithandazela lokho okuzuzisa izwe lethu kanye nobuntu bethu bonke sibalulekile namuhla.
