NguDavid Swanson, World BEYOND War, Julayi 12, i-2020

A umthethosivivinywa kuCongress ngokuxhaswa kwe-bipartisan bekuzodinga amahhovisi eposi kanye nezakhiwo ezahlukahlukene zikahulumeni ukundiza kusuka ngoSepthemba 11 kuya kuSepthemba 30^th njalo ngonyaka ifulege elibukeka kanjena:

Ngenkathi kwenziwa izikhumbuzo zesikhumbuzo zempi, ifulegi yempi liyaphakanyiswa.

Kuyiqiniso, imizamo izokwenziwa ukunikeza leli fulegi elishisayo elimanzi nencazelo engeyona enobuhlakani, engathembeki, engafudumali.

Ngeshwa ngaleso sizathu, ifulegi livela ku isisekelo okuthole izikole kwezinye izingxenye zeVirginia okufundisa uhlobo olwandisiwe lokudumisa kwalo ifulege ikharikhulamu. Uma kwenzeka i-United States yenza lesi simangaliso ifulegi laso elisemthethweni izinsuku ezingama-20 ngonyaka, lelo kharikhulamu lizothola umfutho omkhulu ekuhlonipheni nasekuhlonipheni. Ngabe abantu bazokwazi ukumisa amabhodi abo ezikole azungeze i-United States ekukusebenziseni ngoba nje kugcwele amanga angenangqondo futhi kuholela ekubulaweni kwabantu abaningi?

Ngezansi kunezithombe ezibonisa amasampula walokho okufundiswa izingane ezingenacala. Banikezwa ithuba lokuthi "bathinte insimbi" evela eWorld Trade Center futhi baphendule umbuzo othi "Kungani into ingaphezu nje kwento?"

Ubushokobezi, kulokhu, buvela ndawo, abunamsuka noma incazelo, futhi benziwa "ngabashokobezi abangama-Arabhu abavela eMiddle East" abaqamba "ukuhlaselwa okubi kakhulu emhlabeni waseMelika" ngokungasho lutho ngokuqothulwa kwabantu baseMelika noma i-Trumpandemic yamanje noma enye into eyethusayo.

"UMongameli Bush utshele ababusi base-Afghanistan, iTaliban, ukuthi kuzoba nempi uma benganikezanga ngeMelika eLaden. AbakwaTaliban abalalelanga. ” Lezo zingane ezimbi bekufanele ngabe zilalele! Akukho lapho kushiwo khona ukuthi uhulumeni wase-US ngokuphindaphindiwe ayamukelwanga okunikezwayo ukunikela uBin Laden ezweni lesithathu ukuba liquliswe, kunalokho wakhetha impi eyayizoqhubeka cishe iminyaka engu-19 kuze kube manje.

Kepha impi yase-Afghanistan iyaphela njengesihloko ngonyaka ka-2004 lapho “inkululeko” yayilethwa lapho. Ngemuva kwalokho sizwa ukuthi i-Persian Gulf War idale "inkululeko" eKuwait, nokuthi ubushiqela wase-Iraq wenqabile ukusho ukuthi ngabe "izikhali zokubhujiswa ngabantu abaningi kangakanani", ezaphoqa uBush ukuthi amhlasele. Futhi "i-United States yasiza ekwakheni kabusha izikole zezwe, imigwaqo, izibhedlela kanye nezinkundla zikawoyela." Futhi, i-Iraq yanikezwa “inkululeko,” futhi kwaba yilokho. Akukho kufa. Akukho gazi. Akukho ukuhlupheka. Lutho ukulila noma enshrine noma ukukhulekelwa.

Okumangazayo kule nkulumo-ze engabikezelwa ukuthi ithi phezulu: "Ubuphekula bekulokhu kuyinkinga enkulu kusukela ngo-2000." Hmm. Ngabe isebenza kanjani-ke iMpi yokuSabisa?

Ngaphambi kokuhlanganiswa kwebutho lezempi laseMelika njengohulumeni wamukele ifulegi elisha lempi (ifulegi lakhona lamanje liyifulegi yempi nayo), kufanele ichithe isikhashana nesampula yezingane esezivele zinikezwe i-Freedom Indoctrination, ukuphendula lowo mbuzo obalulekile ovela kuGeorge W. Bush: "Ngabe izingane zethu ziyafunda?" Nayi imibuzo embalwa engabuzwa abafundi abanjalo:
