Inothi lomhleli: Lokhu kuphawula kukaJohn Reuwer, MD, waseNingizimu Burlington, oyilungu leKomidi Lezempilo Kwezenhlalakahle Lokuqeda Izikhali Zenuzi kanye nebhodi labaqondisi World Beyond War.
Ukuziphatha okungajwayelekile kukaMengameli nokukhuthaza kwakhe ukuhlaselwa kwesakhiwo seCapitol nentando yeningi ngesonto eledlule wethuse uSomlomo weNdlu uNancy Pelosi ngokwanele ukumenza akhathazeke esidlangalaleni ngokuthi unegunya elisemthethweni kuphela lokuyalela ukwethulwa kwezikhali zenuzi. Amandla akhe okwenza lokho kufanele asesabise sonke ekusebenzeni ngaphandle kokubonisana kwakhe kwangasese nabaphathi bezempi.
Kukhona i-1 ngaphezuluIzikhali zenuzi ze-3,300 phakathi kwezizwe eziyisishiyagalolunye emhlabeni. Cishe i-1,500 yazo isexwayisweni sezinwele. Ukwesaba okudalwe ukusetshenziswa kwanoma ngubani wabo ngamaphekula kungahle kuphele enkululekweni yethu yezepolitiki. Ukusetshenziswa iningi lazo ngengozi noma ngobuhlanya (ikakhulukazi okuqondene nalokhu) kuzoqala inhlekelele engakaze ibonwe yobuntu. Ukusetshenziswa iningi labo kuzoqeda impucuko. Kodwa-ke inqubomgomo yamanje yase-US ivumela indoda eyodwa lo mbuso, futhi ihlela ukusebenzisa isigidigidi esisodwa nesigamu samadola “ukwenza isimanjemanje” sibe nesikhali sethu senuzi futhi sisebenziseke kakhulu. Yikuphi okuqinisekisa umjaho omusha wezikhali phakathi kwawo wonke amandla enuzi, okuyingozi ikakhulukazi uma kunokungezwani okwandayo phakathi kwawo, ukuthambekela kubaholi abanamandla kakhudlwana emibusweni yentando yeningi eminingi entekenteke, kanye nobufakazi obusobala bokuthi ukuhlaselwa kwe-cyber okuyinkimbinkimbi kwenza izinhlelo zezikhali eziyinkimbinkimbi zibe sengozini enkulu.
Njengesikhumbuzo sokuthi singenza kangcono, kuleli sonto sigubha imicimbi emibili esikhombisa ezinye izindlela zobungozi obubi esibuthathayo ngezikhali zenuzi.
NgoJanuwari 18 sikhumbula impilo kaMartin Luther King Jr., owahola isizwe sakithi ukuthi sihloniphe ngokusemthethweni amalungelo abantu baseMelika abaNsundu, acindezelwa selokhu kwasungulwa izwe lethu. Umbono wakhe womphakathi othandekayo usahlala ungakagcwaliseki, njengoba izehlakalo kulo nyaka zivezile, lapho siqala ukuvusa ubandlululo abaningi ababezishaya ngathi belusemuva kwethu. Kodwa-ke singaqhubeka nokuqhubekela phambili nomsebenzi wakhe wokuqeda ukungabi nabulungisa nodlame sisebenzisa ubudlova bokudala. Wayeyazi ngokuphelele inkinga yenuzi. Kwakhe Inkulumo yokwamukelwa kweNobel Peace Prize ngo-1964, wathi, "Ngiyenqaba ukwamukela umbono wokugxeka wokuthi isizwe nesizwe kufanele sikhuphuke ngezitebhisi zempi siye esihogweni sokubhujiswa kwe-thermonuclear." Masimjoyine enqaba ukwamukela ukwanda kwethu okuphansi.
Ukusisiza senze lokho, ngoJanuwari 22 iZizwe Ezihlangene zizobeka ingqophamlando enkulu emlandweni wezikhali. I- ISivumelwano Sokuvimbela Izikhali Zase-Nuclear sekuqinisekisiwe, futhi "kuzoqala ukusebenza" ngalolu suku. Lokhu kusho ukuthi phakathi kwamazwe okusayina, kuzobe kungavumelekile ukuthuthukisa, ukwakha, ukuphatha, ukudlulisa, ukusongela ukusebenzisa, noma ukuxhasa ukusetshenziswa kwezikhali zenuzi. Yize zingekho izifundazwe zenuzi esezijoyine lesi sivumelwano, kodwa bazobhekana neqiniso elisha - izikhali zenuzi okokuqala zibe semthethweni ngaphansi komthetho wamazwe omhlaba. Bazoqala ukuthwala isigcwagcwa esifanayo esithwalwa yizikhali zamakhemikhali, izikhali zebhayoloji, kanye namabhomu agqitshwayo, asebelahlekelwe ngumthetho endaweni yomphakathi, ngakho-ke abasavunyelwanga obala noma bakhiqizwe, ngisho nayizizwe ezingagunyazisanga izivumelwano ezibavimbelayo . Esikhundleni sokuba yizimpawu zokuziqhenya ngobuzwe, izikhali zenuzi zizokhomba abanazo njengezifundazwe ezinamandla. Izinkampani ezikhiqiza izingxenye zezikhali zenuzi zizoba ngaphansi kwengcindezi yomphakathi ukuze ihambisane nenkambiso yamazwe omhlaba.
Ukwamukela umbono namandla kaDkt. King, kanye nokusebenza kanzima koMkhankaso Wamazwe Ngamazwe Wokulwa Nenuzi Yezikhali kanye nabanye abafake lesi sivumelwano isivumelwano, singasebenzela ukukhulula ikusasa lethu ezinsongweni zenuzi ngezindlela eziningi. Isinyathelo sokuqala ukuthi iCongress iqale kabusha isibophezelo sayo somthethosisekelo sokugunyaza impi, ngokuhoxisa ukugunyazwa kuka-2002 kokusetshenziswa kweMpi Yezempi enikeza umongameli amandla okuqala ngokungahambisani nanoma iyiphi impi, futhi ahoxise ngokukhethekile igunya likaMongameli elilodwa nelingavinjelwe lokuqalisa izikhali zenuzi .
Uma sifuna ukwenza okuningi, singazifundisa thina kanye nomakhelwane bethu ngeSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali ZaseNyukliya, futhi sicindezele abaholi bethu ukuthi bathathe izinyathelo ezincane zokusisusa emuva emaphethelweni okuphela kwenuzi kuze kube siyabakholisa ukuthi bajoyine lesi sivumelwano. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukujoyina kabusha izivumelwano zokulawulwa kwezikhali ezifana ne-New START kanye neSivumelwano Samandla Enyukliya Esiphakathi esisenze saphepha futhi sasisindisa nemali eningi esikhathini esedlule. Singasekela noma yiziphi izikweletu eziningi ezizokwethulwa kwiCongress kulo nyaka ezisekela noma yiziphi ezinye izinqubomgomo ezisenza siphephe ngokushesha. Phakathi kwazo kukhona 1) Ukuqinisekisa umhlaba ukuthi asisoze sasebenzisa izikhali zenuzi kuqala; 2) Ukususa zonke izikhali zenuzi ekuxwayiseni izinwele; 3) Yeka ukusebenzisa imali ngezikhali ezintsha zenuzi ukukhulula izinsiza zezidingo zokuphepha kwabantu nokunqanda umjaho wezikhali; futhi 4) Joyina iSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali ZaseNyukliya, noma uxoxisane nezinye izikhali zenuzi eziqinisekisiwe, eziqinisekisiwe.
Isikhathi sesifikile, hhayi nje ukwehlisa ukukhathazeka kukaPelosi ngokuthi ngabe lo mongameli angayiqala yini impi yenuzi, kepha ukuqinisekisa ukuthi akekho umuntu ongabhubhisa ikusasa lethu emahoreni ambalwa.
