ISenate yase-US ibikhathazeke kakhulu ngokungavumeli ukuthula ne-Iran kungene kalula, noma ngabe impi entsha e-Iraq naseSyria iqhubeka ngaphandle kokuzenzisa kweCongress "okugunyazayo" noma kokukulahla.
Zombili izindlu zeCongress zinesifiso sokuqeda i-TPP (iTrans-Pacific Partnership) endleleni yokuzila. Inqubo yokulandelela okusheshayo yezinto eziphuthumayo ngeCongress noma ukuyidala ngaphandle kweCongress kubonakala sengathi igcinwe imibono engathandwa kakhulu uhulumeni wethu akhiqiza.
Kuthiwani uma, esikhundleni salokho, kusetshenziselwa ithrekhi esheshayo kulezo zinto ezithandwa yiziningi zomphakathi, noma ezidingekayo ukuhlala komhlaba, kodwa okuhlangene nokumelana nomkhankaso wabaxhasi, abakwa-lobbyists, kanye nemithombo yezokuxhumana?
Vele ngingathanda ukuthi kube nokhetho oluhlanzekile neCongress ephendula esidlangalaleni uma singeke sibe nezinhlelo zomphakathi futhi siqondise intando yeningi. Kepha ngokungabikho kwama-utopias anjalo, kungani ungasebenzisi izindlela eziphikisanayo zokulwa nentando yeningi ukugoqa izinto ezifunwa ngabantu kunezinto esizophikisana nazo uma sithola ngazo? Kungani ungashibilikisi udlule kubashisekeli be-plutocrats kunokuba ushelele omunye udlule kubantu? Kungani ungahambi namavoti ezwi, ungabi nenkulumompikiswano, futhi ungabi nesikhathi sokufunda imininingwane ngezinyathelo zokwehlisa amandla nokuvikela iplanethi kunasezivumelwaneni “zokuhweba” ezinikeza amandla abameli bezinkampani ukuguqula imithetho?
Ngisanda kufunda lokhu encwadini yezindaba ye-imeyili evela kummeli wokuthula uMichael Nagler: “Ngolunye usuku ngahamba ngayohlola-ukushayela imoto kagesi. Lapho siqeda ezinye zezinto zobuchwepheshe futhi silinde ilambu elibomvu umthengisi owayefika nami wathi, 'Manje wenzani?' Nakhu sekuza, ngacabanga: 'Ngisebenza nongenzi-nzuzo; (gulp, and) sithuthukisa ukungabi nodlame. ' Ngemuva kokuhlaba ikhefu, wathi ukuthula, 'Ngiyabonga.' ”
Ngivame ukuba nokuhlangenwe nakho okufanayo, kodwa ngiya ngokuya ngiphendula ngentshiseko: "Ngisebenza ekuqedeni impi." Yilokho engikuphendule kamuva nje esitolo samasemishi lapha eCharlottesville esibizwa ngeBaggby's. Angitholanga “ngiyabonga,” kodwa ngathola umbuzo wokuthi ngabe ngangimazi yini uJack Kidd. Ngangingakaze ngizwe ngoJack Kidd, kepha uJack Kidd, umphathi wezinkanyezi ezimbili osethathe umhlalaphansi owayehlala eCharlottesville, wayekade eseBaggby esikhathini esidlule ephikisana nesidingo sokuqeda impi nomunye umphathi omkhulu owayethanda ukugcina impi nokulwa .
Ngakho-ke, ngifunde incwadi kaKidd, Vimbela Impi: Isu elisha eMelika. Vele, ngicabanga ukuthi sidinga isu lomhlaba, hhayi ele-United States, uma sizoqeda impi. UKidd, owashona ngo-2013, wayekholelwa ku-2000, ngenkathi kushicilelwa le ncwadi, ukuthi yi-United States kuphela engahola indlela eya ekuthuleni, ukuthi i-United States yayihlale isho kahle, ukuthi impi ingasetshenziselwa ukuqeda impi, nazo zonke izinhlobo sezinto engingakwazi ukuziletha ukuthi ngizithathe ngokungathí sina. Futhi nokho, ekholwa yikho konke asakholelwa kukho, ngemuva "kokuvuka" ekuqaleni kwawo-1980, njengoba ekuchaza, uKidd wabona ubuhlanya bokuhluleka ukusebenzela ukuqeda impi.
Le kwakuyindoda eyayiqhumise ngamabhomu amadolobha aseJalimane eMpini Yezwe II; owayekholelwa ukuthi usindile emishini enzima kakhulu lapho adubula khona izindiza eziningi zaseJalimane, ngoba wayethandaze kuNkulunkulu owayephendule umkhuleko wakhe; ngubani ohambisa izindiza eziyimfihlo zokuhlasela ngenuzi kusuka eWashington kuya eKorea phakathi nempi yaseKorea; owake “wakhonza” njengeChief of the Joint War Plans Branch futhi wasebenza ezinhlelweni zeMpi Yesithathu Yomhlaba; abakholelwa ekuhlaselweni yiGulf of Tonkin; owayelalele imiyalo yokundiza indiza yakhe ngamabomu enuzi amafu emva kokuhlolwa kwamabhomu - njengokuzama okwabantu; futhi nokho. . . futhi nokho! Noma kunjalo uJack Kidd wahlela ojenene asebethathe umhlalaphansi base-US nabaseSoviet ukuthi basebenzele ukulwa nezikhali lapho kuphakama iMpi Yomshoshaphansi.
Incwadi kaKidd iqukethe iziphakamiso eziningi zokusisusa empini. Enye yazo ukusheshisa izivumelwano zokulwa nezikhali. Ngalowo mbono uwodwa, incwadi yakhe kufanele ifundwe. Kuyafaneleka futhi ukunikela kubasekeli bezempi abasebenza kanzima njengohlobo lokuncenga okumnene. Kuyafaneleka futhi ukubuza, ngicabanga, ukuthi kungani uCharlottesville engenaso isikhumbuzo salowo owayenguGeneral obeka uhlelo lokuthula lapho lunabantu abaningi kulabo okufeziwe kuphela ukulahlekelwa yimpi yombango yase-US.
