UJeremy Deaton ubonakala engumbhali omuhle ngendaba yokuguquka kwesimo sezulu kuze kube yilapho ewela enkulumweni engamanga yamasosha aseMelika. Ngikugqamisa lokhu njengesibonelo sakamuva sento ejwayelekile njengokucishe ibe yindawo yonke. Le iphethini emaqenjini amakhulu ezemvelo, izincwadi zemvelo, kanye nabezemvelo ngezinkulungwane. Eqinisweni, akukhawulelwanga nakancane kwabezemvelo, kungenxa yokuthi esimweni semvelo, ukungaboni ngomonakalo owenziwe ngamasosha ase-US kuphawuleka kakhulu ngomthelela wawo.
“Khohlwa Ukonga Amandla. Lokhu Kumayelana Nokonga Impilo. ” Lesi yisihloko esihle sendatshana emayelana nanoma yini enye ngaphandle kwezempi, eklanyelwe ukubhubhisa izimpilo zabantu, noma njengoba uMmeli kaMengameli waseRiphabhuliki uMike Huckabee ekubeka ngokwethembeka engxoxweni yakamuva: “ukubulala abantu nokwephula izinto.” Empeleni, lokhu kuvezwa yisihlokwana sikaDeaton esithi: “Ukusebenza kahle kwamandla kwenza uMbutho Wezempi ube umshini wokulwa ongaxegi, ononya.” Yini umshini wokulwa ononya owenza kangcono? Bulala abantu uphule izinto.
Kodwa uDeaton, onjengobuhle bezemvelo kufanele azinakekele ngomhlaba, wembula ukuthi, njengoba kunjalo, ngaphansi kwesipelingi senkulumo-ze yempi, empeleni uyabakhathalela abantu abangu-4% emhlabeni. Eminye i-96% ingalahlwa:
“Izinto zokubasa ezimbiwa phansi ziyisibopho esikhulu emasosheni aseMelika. Izimoto zasolwandle ezithwele igesi zihleli amadada ezinhlamvu zezitha namabhomu asemgwaqeni. Ukusebenzisa amandla amancane kusho imigqa emifushane yokuhambisa izinto: izinjongo ezimbalwa, izisulu ezimbalwa, amasosha aseMelika amaningi okwenza kube yimindeni yawo. ”
Ngabe leyo mizila yokuhlinzekwa inikezani kahle? Izinsimbi zokubulala abantu abaningi, kunjalo. Umbono wokuthi umshini obulalayo “usindisa izimpilo” kuvele kube umqondo wokuthi ngenkathi ubandakanyeka ekubulaweni okukhulu kunethemba lokuthi uzolahlekelwa okumbalwa: “Kumayelana nokuqinisa amagiya empini yempi.” Vele uma iyeka ukuhlala olwandle nasemigodini yomhlaba, isusa izingxabano, futhi ilwa izimpi, ibingasindisa wonke amatilosi ayo (noma amasosha noma amaMarines). Ibutho lomhlaba wonke elinolaka elinama-windmill ambalwa lisindisa izimpilo ngendlela efanayo yokuthi kuthengwe u-ayisikhilimu omkhulu kakhulu wesonto ongafuni ukuwonga lapho kuthengiswa.
UDeaton ucaphuna uNobhala Wezasolwandle, noma ngabe ukopishiwe futhi unamathiselwe ngqo emaphephandabeni noma cha, ethi, “Oomatilosi nabaseMarines bayalithola iqiniso lokuthi lezi zinhlelo zibasiza ukuba babe yizilwi zempi ezingcono.” Futhi benzani abalwa impi? Balwa izimpi. Babulala inani elikhulu labantu futhi benze izinombolo eziningi zokulimala kanye nezisulu zabahlukumezekile nababaleki. UDeaton ugcizelela ephindelela ukuthi ukonga amandla kuthuthukisa ikhono lokubulala abantu abaningi, ngoba ubona ngokusobala lokhu njengokuncamela ukunikela ngeplanethi. Ucaphuna i-Wilson Center think tanker (n., One think tankers): “Isifiso sabo sokusebenzisa kahle amandla siqhutshwa ngokuphelele. Akukho lutho oluyimbono ngakho, futhi lusebenza kakhulu. ” Kwesokudla. UNkulunkulu akavumeli ukuthi banakekele ngokomqondo ukuthi ngabe iplanethi igcina isimo sezulu esingahlalwa.
Ngisho noma uthanda noma ubekezelela izimpi, ibutho lemvelo lifana ne-coke yokudla. Njengoba World Beyond War uveza ukuthi, amasosha alwa izimpi zawo zokubasa ezimbiwa phansi futhi asebenzise iningi lawo kule nqubo ukwedlula noma ngubani omunye enza noma yini enye. Uwoyela ungaputshuka noma ushiswe, njengaseGulf War, kepha ngokuyinhloko usetshenziswa kuzo zonke izinhlobo zemishini engcolisa umoya womhlaba, okusibeka engozini sonke. Abanye baze bahlobanise ukusetshenziswa kukawoyela nalokho okucatshangwa ukuthi kuyinkazimulo nobuqhawe bempi, ukuze amandla avuselelekayo angabeki engcupheni inhlekelele yomhlaba wonke abhekwe njengezindlela zobugwala nezingashisi izwe lethu zokuphehla imishini yethu.
Ukusebenzisana kwempi namafutha kudlula lokho, noma kunjalo. Izimpi ngokwazo, noma ngabe zilwelwa uwoyela noma cha, zidla inani lazo elikhulu. Omunye wabathengi abaphezulu kakhulu emhlabeni ka-oyela, empeleni isosha lase-US. Ibutho lase-US liyashisa ngemigodi ye-340,000 yamafutha ngosuku ngalunye. Uma i-Pentagon yayiyizwe, lizobeka i-38th ngaphandle kwe-196 ekusetshenzisweni kwamafutha.
Imvelo njengoba sazi ukuthi ngeke isinde impi yenuzi. Kungenzeka futhi ukuthi ngeke kusinde "impi" evamile, okuqondakala ukuthi kusho izinhlobo eziningi zezimpi manje. Ukulimala okukhulu sekuvele kwenziwa yizimpi kanye nocwaningo, ukuhlolwa, nokukhiqizwa okwenziwe ukulungiselela izimpi. Izimpi eminyakeni yamuva zenze izindawo ezinkulu ezingenakwenzeka futhi zakhiwe amashumi ezinkulungwane zababaleki. Impi "izimbangi zezifo ezithathelwanayo ziyimbangela yomhlaba jikelele yokufelwa nokufa," kusho uJennifer Leaning of Harvard Medical School.
Mhlawumbe izikhali ezibulalayo kakhulu ezishiywe ngemuva kwezimpi zingamabhomu omhlaba namabhomu eqoqo. Amashumi ezinkulungwane zazo kulinganiselwa ukuthi alele emhlabeni wonke, engazi ukuthi yiziphi izimemezelo zokuthi ukuthula kuye kwabikwa. Iningi lalabo abahlukunyezwa yizizwe, ingxenye enkulu yabantwana.
Ukusebenza kweSoviet ne-US e-Afghanistan kucekele phansi noma konakalisa izinkulungwane zamadolobhana nemithombo yamanzi. AmaTaliban adayise ngokungekho emthethweni izingodo ePakistan, okuholele ekuqothulweni kwamahlathi okuphawulekayo. Amabhomu aseMelika nababaleki abadinga izinkuni bangeze kulo monakalo. Amahlathi ase-Afghanistan acishe aphela. Iningi lezinyoni ezifudukayo ebezidlula e-Afghanistan azisenzi kanjalo. Umoya wayo namanzi kufakwe ubuthi ngeziqhumane nama-rocket propellants. Amapaneli ambalwa elanga ngeke akulungise lokhu.
Uma izimpi zenziwe ziluhlaza ngokwemisebenzi yazo, zizolahlekelwa esinye sezizathu zazo eziyinhloko zempi. (Akekho ongakwazi ukuba nelanga noma umoya.) Futhi sisazoba nohlu olude lwe ... Izizathu eziningi zokuqeda impi.
