Uhlelo Lokuhlenga Lomhlaba Wonke: Kucashunwe "Impi Ayisekho: Icala Lokuqedwa" NguDavid Swanson
Abantu babuza: Pho, senzani ngamaphekula?
Siqala ukufunda umlando. Siyeka ukukhuthaza ubuphekula. Sitshela abezigebengu abasolwa emakhotho omthetho. Sikhuthaza ezinye izizwe ukuba zisebenzise umthetho. Siyeka ukumbamba umhlaba. Futhi sithatha ingxenyana encane yalokho esikuchitha ukubulala abantu futhi siyisebenzise ukuze sizenzele abantu abathandekayo kakhulu emhlabeni.
I-United States yedwa yakwazi ngokuphelele, uma ikhetha, yokwenza uhlelo lwe-marshall yomhlaba wonke, noma-uhlelo olungcono lokusindisa umhlaba wonke. Njalo ngonyaka i-United States isebenzisa, ngokusebenzisa iminyango kahulumeni ehlukahlukene, cishe i-$ 1.2 trillion emalungiselelweni empi nempi. Njalo ngonyaka ama-United States angaphezu kuka-$ 1 trillion ezintela ezikhokhwa yizigidi zezigidi nezinkulungwane zamabhizinisi nezinkampani.
Uma siqonda ukuthi ukusetshenziswa okungenakulawula kokusetshenziswa kwezempi kusenza siphephe kancane, kunokuningi-njengoba nje u-Eisenhower axwayise futhi ochwepheshe abaningi bamanje bavumelana-kuyacaca ukuthi ukwehlisa ukusetshenziswa kwempi kuyisiqalo esibucayi ngokwakho. Uma singeza kulokho ukuqonda ukuthi ukuchitha imali kwezempi kunzima, kunokuba kusize, inhlalakahle yezomnotho, ukubaluleka kokunciphisa lokhu kucaca kakhulu.
Uma siqonda ukuthi ingcebo e-United States igxile ezingeni eliphakathi nendawo nokuthi lokhu kuhlushwa kubhubhisa uhulumeni omele, ukubumbana kwezenhlalakahle, ukuziphatha komasiko wethu, nokufuna injabulo yezigidi zabantu, kuyacaca ukuthi ukukhokhisa ingcebo eningi kakhulu kanye nengeniso iziphetho ezibucayi ngokwabo.
Kusadingeka ekubalweni kwethu ukucatshangelwa okukhulu okungalindelekile kwalokho esingakwenzi okwamanje kodwa kulula ukukwenza. Kungasibiza u-$ 30 wezigidigidi ngonyaka ukuqedela indlala emhlabeni jikelele. Thina nje, njengoba ngibhala lokhu, ngichitha cishe u-$ 90 wezigidigidi ngomunye umnyaka wezempi "ehamba phansi" e-Afghanistan. Yikuphi ongathanda ukukwenza: iminyaka emithathu yezingane ezingabulali emhlabeni wonke, noma ngonyaka #13 wokubulala abantu ezintabeni zase-Asia ephakathi? Ucabanga ukuthi yini ezokwenza i-United States ithande kangcono emhlabeni jikelele?
Kungasibiza u-$ 11 wezigidigidi ngonyaka ukunikeza umhlaba ngamanzi ahlanzekile. Sisebenzisa u-$ 20 wezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ngonyaka ohlelweni olulodwa lwezikhali ezingenalusizo ezithandwa yizempi kodwa ezenza umuntu ocebile olawula amalunga aseCongress ne-White House ngokukhwabanisa ngokomthetho kanye nosongo wokuqedwa komsebenzi ezindaweni ezibalulekile. Yiqiniso, izikhali ezinjalo ziqala ukubheka kufanelekile uma abakhiqizi babo beqala ukuzithengisa kwamanye amazwe futhi. Phakamisa isandla sakho uma ucabanga ukuthi ukunikeza umhlaba amanzi ahlanzekile kungasenza sithande kangcono kwamanye amazwe futhi siphephile ekhaya.
Ngamanani afanayo angabizi, i-United States, noma ngaphandle kokubambisana nabo abacebile, inganikeza umhlaba ngemfundo, izinhlelo zokusimama kwemvelo, isikhuthazo sokunika amandla abesifazane namalungelo kanye nemithwalo yemfanelo, ukuqedwa kwezifo ezinkulu, njll. I-Worldwatch Institute ihlongoze uchitha u-$ 187 wezigidigidi ngonyaka we-10 iminyaka kukho konke ekugcineni ukugcinwa kwe-topsoil ($ 24 billion ngonyaka) ukuvikela ukuhlukahluka kwemvelo ($ 31 billion ngonyaka) amandla okuvuselelwa, ukulawulwa kokubeletha kanye nokuqiniswa kwamatafula amanzi. Kulabo abaqaphela inkinga yemvelo njengenye into ebaluleke kakhulu njengento ephuthumayo ngokwayo njengengozi yokwenza impi, inkinga yeningi labantu, noma inhlekelele yezidingo zomuntu, isisombululo senkululeko yomhlaba wonke esitshala imali eluhlaza kanye nemikhuba eqhubekayo ibonakala ngisho nangaphezulu amandla okuba yisidingo sokuziphatha esikhathini sethu.
Ukuphela kwempi, amaphrojekthi okulondoloza umhlaba angenziwa ngenzuzo, njengoba nje amagoli nemayini yamalahle kanye nokubolekisa ngokukhipha imali kunenzuzo manje ngenqubomgomo yomphakathi. Ukuhlomula kwezimpi kungavinjelwa noma kukhishwe ngokungenzi lutho. Sinezinsiza, ulwazi, kanye nekhono. Asinayo intando yezombangazwe. Inkinga yenkukhu-neqanda isicindezela. Asikwazi ukuthatha izinyathelo zokuthuthukisa intando yeningi ngokungabikho kwentando yeningi. Ubuso besifazane esikoleni esiphakeme sokubusa ngeke kuxazulule lokhu. Asikwazi ukuphoqelela uhulumeni wethu wesizwe ukuba aphathe ezinye izizwe ngenhlonipho uma engenandaba nathi. Uhlelo losizo lwangaphandle olunikezwe ukuziqhenya kwamakhosi angayikusebenza. Ukusabalalisa ngaphansi kwesibambiso se "intando yeningi" ngeke kusisindise. Ukubeka ukuthula ngokusebenzisa "abagcini bokuthula" abahlomile ukulungiselela ukubulala ngeke kusebenze. Ukuqeda amandla kakhulu kakhulu, ngenkathi uqhubeka ucabanga ukuthi "impi enhle" ingase idingeke, ngeke isithole kude. Sidinga ukubukeka okungcono kwezwe futhi indlela yokuyibeka ezikhulwini ezingenziwa ukuze zisimele.
Inqubo enjalo kungenzeka, futhi ukuqonda ukuthi kuzoba lula kanjani izikhulu ezinamandla ukuba zenze uhlelo lokuphulukisa emhlabeni wonke luyingxenye yendlela esingasishukumisela ngayo ukuyifuna. Imali iyatholakala izikhathi eziningana. Iphasi elifanele silondoloze lizofaka izwe lethu kanye nalo. Akudingeki sihlupheke ngaphezu kwalokho esikuhluphekayo manje ukuze sizuze kakhulu abanye. Singakwazi ukutshala izimali ezempilo kanye nemfundo kanye nezakhizinda eziluhlaza emadolobheni ethu nakwabanye 'ngezansi kunokuba manje silahle amabhomu nezigidigidi.
Inqubo enjalo ingenza kahle ngokucabangela izinhlelo zesevisi zomphakathi ezibandakanya ngqo emsebenzini okufanele senziwe, nasezinqumweni ezenziwe. Okubalulekile kunganikezwa kumabhizinisi asebenza nabasebenzi abasebenza. Imiklamo enjalo ingayigwema ukugxila okungadingekile kobuzwe. Inkonzo yomphakathi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iyimpoqo noma iyazithandela, ingafaka izinketho zokusebenzela izinhlelo zangaphandle nakwamanye amazwe kanye nalabo asekelwe e-United States. Le nkonzo, emva kwakho konke, ikhona emhlabeni, hhayi nje ekhoneni elilodwa layo. Inkonzo enjalo ingabandakanya umsebenzi wokuthula, umsebenzi wokuvikela abantu, kanye nokuzibandakanya kwabakhamuzi. Ukushintshaniswa kwabafundi kanye nezinhlelo zokushintshanisa izinsizakalo zomphakathi kungangezelela ukuhamba, ukuzijabulisa, nokuqonda kwamasiko. Ubuzwe, into ephansi kunazo zonke kanye nokuqedwa njengempi, ngeke ilahleke.
Ungase uthi ngingumphuphi. Sibalo ngamakhulu wezigidi.
