Abantu base-Iraqi babezama ukuketula umashiqela wabo ngobudlova ngaphambi kokuketulwa kwakhe ngodlame yi-United States ngo-2003. Lapho amasosha ase-US eqala ukukhululeka ekusakazeni kwawo inkululeko nokusabalalisa intando yeningi ngo-2008, nangesikhathi se-Arab Spring ka-2011 neminyaka eyalandela. , imibhikisho yase-Iraqi engenalo udlame yaphinde yakhula, isebenzela uguquko, kuhlanganise nokuketulwa kukamashiqela wabo omusha weGreen Zone. Ekugcineni uzokwehla esikhundleni, kodwa hhayi ngaphambi kokuboshwa, ukuhlukumeza, nokubulala izishoshovu - ngezikhali zase-US, kunjalo.
Kube khona futhi kukhona ukunyakaza kwe-Iraqi kwamalungelo abesifazane, amalungelo abasebenzi, ukumisa ukwakhiwa kwamadamu eTigris eTurkey, ukuxosha ibutho lokugcina lase-US ezweni, ukukhulula uhulumeni ethonyeni lase-Iranian, nokuvikela uwoyela wase-Iraq kwamanye amazwe. ukulawula kwebhizinisi. Okubalulekile ekugqugquzeleni okuningi, nokho, kube yinhlangano emelene namahlelo okulethwa yi-US. Lapha e-United States asizwa okuningi ngalokho. Kungafanelana kanjani namanga esiwatshelwa kaningi ukuthi impi yamaShi'a-Sunni sekungamakhulu eminyaka iqhubeka?
Incwadi entsha ka-Ali Issa, Ngokumelene Nazo Zonke Izingqinamba: Amazwi Omzabalazo Odumile e-Iraq, iqoqa izingxoxo azenzile zezishoshovu ezibalulekile zase-Iraqi, nezitatimende zasesidlangalaleni ezenziwe izinhlangano zezishoshovu zase-Iraqi, okuhlanganisa nencwadi eya ku-US Occupy Movement kanye nemilayezo efanayo yobumbano lomhlaba wonke. Amazwi anzima ukuzwa ngoba besingakaze siwazwe yonke le minyaka, futhi ngenxa yokuthi awahambisani namanga esiwatsheliwe noma amaqiniso alula ngokweqile esiwatsheliwe.
Ubuwazi yini ukuthi, ngesikhathi se-Occupy Movement e-United States, bekunenhlangano enkulu, ekhuthele, engenabudlova, ebandakanya wonke umuntu, enezimiso, elwela uguquko ebambe imibhikisho emikhulu, imibhikisho, ukuhlala unomphela, kanye neziteleka ezijwayelekile e-Iraq - ukuhlela izenzo ku-Facebook nangokubhala izikhathi nezindawo ngemali yamaphepha? Ubuwazi ukuthi bekukhona abahleli phambi kwazo zonke izikhungo zamasosha ase-US abafuna ukuthi abahlali bahambe?
Lapho amasosha ase-US ekugcineni esuka e-Iraq okwesikhashana nangokungaphelele, lokho kwakungenxa yokuthi, iningi labantu baseMelika liyacabanga, izindlela zokuthula zikaMongameli uBarack Obama. Abanye abantu baseMelika, bazi ukuthi u-Obama kudala ephule isethembiso sakhe sokuhoxa emkhankasweni wakhe, wenze konke okusemandleni ukwandisa umsebenzi, washiya izinkulungwane zamasosha oMnyango Wezwe, futhi uzobuyela embuthweni ngokushesha okukhulu, anikeze i-Chelsea udumo. UManning ngokuputshuza ividiyo nemibhalo enxenxe i-Iraq ukuthi ibambelele kumnqamulajuqu kaBush-Maliki. Bambalwa abaqaphela imizamo yabantu base-Iraqi phansi eyenza umsebenzi ungaphumeleli.
Imithombo yezindaba yase-Iraq ivaliwe ngesikhathi ibika ngemibhikisho. Izintatheli e-Iraq zishayiwe, zaboshwa, noma zabulawa. Imithombo yezindaba yase-US, vele, iziphatha ngaphandle kokukhuthaza okuningi.
Lapho umuntu wase-Iraqi ejikijela izicathulo zakhe kuMongameli Bush the Lesser, ama-liberal aseMelika agigitheka kodwa akucacisa ngokusobala ukuphikisa kwabo ukujikijela izicathulo. Nokho udumo olwenziwe isenzo savumela umjikijeli wezicathulo nabafowabo ukuba bakhe izinhlangano ezithandwayo. Futhi izenzo zesikhathi esizayo zazihlanganisa ukujikijela izicathulo endizeni enophephela emhlane yase-US ngokusobala eyayizama ukwesabisa umbhikisho.
Yiqiniso, akukho lutho olungalungile ngokuphikisa izicathulo eziphonsa ezimweni eziningi. Impela ngiyakwenza. Kodwa ukwazi ukuthi ukuphonswa kwezicathulo kwasiza ekwakheni lokho esihlale sithi sifuna, ukumelana nombuso okungenabudlova, kunezela umbono othile.
Izishoshovu zase-Iraq bezilokhu zithunjwa/ziboshwa, zihlukunyezwa, zaxwayiswa, zesatshiswa, futhi zakhululwa. Ngesikhathi uTorgham al-Zaidi, umfowabo womjikijelwa izicathulo uMuntadhar al-Zaidi, elandwa, ehlukunyezwa, futhi ededelwa, umfowabo u-Uday al-Zaidi wabhala kuFacebook: “UTorgham ungiqinisekisile ukuthi uzophumela obala ngoLwesihlanu. kanye nendodana yakhe encane uHaydar ukuze bathi kuMaliki, ‘Uma ubulala ezinkulu, abancane bazokulandela!’”
Ukuphathwa kabi kwengane? Noma imfundo efanele, ephakeme kakhulu kunokufundiswa ubudlova? Akufanele sijahe ekwahluleleni. Ngingaqagela ukuthi mhlawumbe kube nokulalelwa kweCongress yaseMelika eyizigidi eziyi-18 ekhala ngokwehluleka kwama-Iraqis "ukukhuphuka" nokusiza ekubulaweni kwama-Iraqis. Phakathi kwezishoshovu zase-Iraq kubonakala sengathi kube nenani elikhulu lokunyuka ngenhloso engcono.
Lapho inhlangano engenabudlova ngokumelene no-Assad eSiriya isenethemba, "Intsha Yenguquko Enkulu Yase-Iraqi" yabhalela "i-Heroic Syrian Revolution" ihlinzeka ngokusekela, ukukhuthaza ukungabi nobudlova, nokuxwayisa ngokumelene nokubambisana. Umuntu kufanele abekele eceleni iminyaka yenkulumo-ze ye-neocon yase-US yokuketulwa ngobudlova kukahulumeni waseSyria, ukuze ezwe lokhu kusekelwa ukuthi bekuyini.
Le ncwadi iphinde ikhuthaze i-ajenda "kazwelonke". Abanye bethu babona ubuzwe njengembangela yezimpi nezijeziso nokuhlukunyezwa okudale inhlekelele ekhona manje e-Iraq, eLibya nakwamanye amazwe akhululiwe. Kodwa lapha elithi “ezweni” ngokusobala lisetshenziselwa ukusho ukungahlukanisi, ukungahlukanisi.
Sikhuluma ngezizwe zase-Iraq naseSyria njengoba zibhujisiwe, njengoba nje sikhuluma ngabanye abantu nezifunda ezihlukahlukene, ezibuyela ezizweni zaboMdabu baseMelika, sebebhujisiwe. Futhi asinaphutha. Kodwa akuzwakali kahle ezindlebeni zaboMdabu baseMelika abaphilayo. Ngakho-ke, kubantu base-Iraqi, ukukhuluma “ngesizwe” sabo nakho kubonakala kuyindlela yokukhuluma ngokubuyela esimweni esijwayelekile noma ukulungiselela ikusasa elingahlukaniswanga ubuzwe nokuhlukana ngokwenkolo.
“Ukube bekungengenxa yomsebenzi,” kubhala umongameli weNhlangano Yenkululeko Yabesifazane e-Iraq, ngo-2011, “abantu base-Iraq ngabe bamxosha uSaddam Hussein ngenxa yemizabalazo yaseTahrir Square. Noma kunjalo, amasosha ase-US anika amandla futhi avikele amaSaddam amasha alokho okubizwa ngentando yeningi acindezela ukungaboni ngaso linye ngokuboshwa nokuhlukunyezwa.”
"Nathi noma ngokumelene nathi" idiocy ayisebenzi ekubukeni ubushoshovu base-Iraq. Bheka lawa maphuzu amane esitatimendeni esenziwe ngoJuni 2014 ngu-Falah Alwan we-Federation of Workers' Councils and Unionists in Iraq:
“Siyakwenqaba ukungenelela kwe-US futhi siyaphikisana nenkulumo engafanele kaMengameli Obama lapho ezwakalise khona ukukhathazeka ngowoyela hhayi ngabantu. Siphinde futhi simelane ngokuqinile nokugxambukela kwe-Iran.
“Simelene nokungenelela kwemibuso yaseGulf kanye noxhaso lwamaqembu ahlomile, ikakhulukazi iSaudi Arabia neQatar.
“Siyayichitha inqubomgomo kaNouri al-Maliki yehlelo kanye nokusabela.
“Siphinde sikunqabele ukulawula kwamaqembu ezigebengu namaphekula eMosul namanye amadolobha. Siyavumelana futhi siyaseseka izimfuno zabantu bakula madolobha ngokumelene nokucwaswa nokuhlukana kwamahlelo.”
Kodwa, linda, ungayiphikisa kanjani i-ISIS ngemuva kokuthi usuvele uphikise ukungenelela kwe-US? Omunye udeveli omunye umsindisi. Kufanele ukhethe . . . uma, okungukuthi, uhlala izinkulungwane zamamayela kude, ungumnikazi wethelevishini, futhi ngempela - masikhulume iqiniso - awukwazi ukutshela imbongolo yakho ngendololwane yakho. Ama-Iraqis encwadini ka-Issa aqonda unswinyo lwase-US, ukuhlasela, ukuhlaliswa kwabantu, kanye nohulumeni wopopayi njengodale i-ISIS. Ngokusobala bathole usizo oluningi oluvela kuhulumeni wase-US ngendlela abangakwazi ukuma ngayo. "Ngivela kuhulumeni futhi ngizwa ukuthi ngisize" kufanele kube usongo olusabekayo, ngokusho kwabalandeli bakaRonald Reagan abacasula noma ngubani ozama ukubanikeza usizo lwezempilo noma imfundo. Kungani becabanga ukuthi abantu base-Iraqi nabaseLibya bezwa lawo magama e-US ngendlela ehlukile abawachazi - futhi akudingekile ngempela.
I-Iraq iyizwe elehlukile, okumele uhulumeni wase-US asebenze ukuze aliqonde uma eke wazama ukuliqonda. Okufanayo kuya kwizishoshovu zase-US. Ku Ukumelana nanoma isiphi isimo, Ngifunde izingcingo "zokuziphindiselela" ezifakwe njengezingcingo zokuthula nentando yeningi. Ngifunde ababhikishi base-Iraqi befuna ukukucacisa ukuthi imibhikisho yabo ayikona nje uwoyela, kodwa ikakhulukazi isithunzi nenkululeko. Kuyahlekisa, kepha ngicabanga ukuthi abanye abasekeli bempi yase-US bathi impi ibingekona nje uwoyela ngesizathu esifanayo sokuthi imayelana nokubuswa komhlaba wonke, amandla, “ukwethembeka.” Akekho ofuna ukusolwa ngokuhaha noma ukuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo; wonke umuntu ufuna ukuma esimisweni, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi leso simiso singamalungelo abantu noma ukubanjwa kwamandla ezenhlalo.
Kodwa, njengoba incwadi ka-Issa ikwenza kucace, impi “nokuqubuka” kanye nemiphumela yako kuye kwaba ngokuphathelene nowoyela. "Isilinganiso" somthetho "we-hydrocarbon" e-Iraq kwakuyinto ehamba phambili kaBush, unyaka nonyaka, futhi ayizange idlule ngenxa yengcindezi yomphakathi nangenxa yokuhlukana kwezinhlanga. Ukuhlukanisa abantu, kuvela, kungase kube indlela engcono yokubabulala kunokweba uwoyela wabo.
Sifunda futhi ngabasebenzi bakawoyela abazigqaja ngokulawula imboni yabo, naphezu kokuba - uyazi - imboni ecekela phansi isimo sezulu. Yebo, sonke singase sibulawe yimpi ngaphambi kokuba isimo sezulu sisithole, ikakhulukazi uma sihluleka ngisho nokuqala ukuqonda ukufa nosizi olubangelwa izimpi zethu. Ngifunde lo mugqa phakathi Ukumelana nanoma isiphi isimo:
"Umfowethu ungomunye walabo abathathwe yi-US."
Yebo, ngicabange, nomakhelwane wami, nezibukeli eziningi ze-Fox ne-CNN. Abantu abaningi bawa ngenxa yamanga.
Ngabe sengifunda umusho olandelayo futhi ngaqala ukuqonda ukuthi “ukungeniswa” kusho ukuthini:
“Bamthatha cishe ngo-2008, bamphenya isonto lonke, bephinda umbuzo owodwa: Ngabe ungumSunni noma uShi'a? . . . Futhi uzothi 'Ngingum-Iraqi.'
Ngiphinde ngihlabeke umxhwele ngemizabalazo ebaliswa ngabakhulumeli bamalungelo abantu besifazane. Babona umzabalazo omude wezizukulwane eziningi nokuhlupheka okukhulu okuzayo. Nokho sizwa okuncane kakhulu okuvela eWashington mayelana nesidingo sokubasiza. Uma kukhulunywa ngokuwisa amabhomu, amalungelo abesifazane ahlala ebonakala ekhathaza kakhulu. Nokho lapho abesifazane behlela imizamo yokuthola amalungelo, kanye nokumelana nokususwa kwamalungelo abo ngobudlova nguhulumeni wangemva kwenkululeko: akukho lutho kodwa ukuthula.
