Ungalokothi uxolise, u-Obama kufanele avume iqiniso
NguDavid Swanson, I-TeleSUR
Kusukela ngaphambi kokuthi angene e-White House, u-Barack Obama uhlongoze ukuphatha ubugebengu obudlule ngabantu abanamandla nezinhlangano ngokusebenzisa inqubomgomo ebizwa ngokuthi "ukubheka phambili" - ngamanye amazwi, ngokuziba. Ngenkathi uMongameli u-Obama eqondise abenzi bobubi ngokuphindisela kanye nokushushisa okwengeziwe kunabangaphambi kwakhe, waxosha abokufika abaningi, futhi wagcina izibani zikhanya eGuantanamo, noma ngubani obhekene nempi noma ukubulawa noma ukuhlukunyezwa noma ukuboshwa okungekho emthethweni noma imikhonyovu eminingi emikhulu yaseWall Street (noma ukwabelana ngezimfihlo zempi no. one's mistress) unikezwe ipasi eliphelele. Kungani kungafanele uHarry Truman athole ilungelo elifanayo?
Lo mgomo, manje olethwa e-Hiroshima, ube ukwehluleka okudabukisayo. Izimpi ezisekelwe emangeni kuCongress ziye zasuswa yizimpi ngaphandle kweCongress nhlobo. Ukubulala nokwesekwa kokuketula umbuso kuyinqubomgomo yomphakathi evulekile, ngokukhethwa kohlu lwangoLwesibili kanye nokusekelwa koMnyango Wezwe emibuso yaseHonduras, e-Ukraine naseBrazil. Ukuhlukunyezwa, esivumelwaneni esisha saseWashington, kuyinqubomgomo ekhethwayo okungenani ekhankasela umongameli oyedwa ekuyisebenziseni kakhulu. Ukuboshwa okungenamthetho nakho kuyahlonipheka ezweni elinethemba nelishintshile, futhi iWall Street yenza lokho eyayikwenza ngaphambili.
U-Obama uye waphatha le nqubomgomo "yokubheka phambili" emuva esikhathini esedlule, ngaphambi kokuvakasha kwakhe okuzayo e-Hiroshima. “Ukubheka phambili” kudinga kuphela ukunganaki ubugebengu nokuzibophezela; kuvumela ukuvuma izenzakalo zesikhathi esidlule uma umuntu enza kanjalo ngobuso obubonakala buyazisola futhi bemagange ukuqhubeka. Nakuba u-Obama engavumelani noMongameli uGeorge W. Bush nge-Iraq, uBush wayeqonde kahle, noma kusho u-Obama manje. Njengoba kwenza amabutho aseMelika eVietnam, kusho u-Obama. Impi YaseKorea empeleni yayiyikunqoba, u-Obama umemezele ngokumangazayo. “Abazifaka engozini, abenzi . . . [aba]hlala eNtshonalanga” bafakazela “ubukhulu besizwe sakithi.” Ngaleyo ndlela u-Obama wakugqamisa ukubulawa kwabantu eNyakatho Melika enkulumweni yakhe yokuqala yokuvula. Yini umuntu angalindela ukuthi ayisho ngezenzo zothando zokubulawa kwabantu abaningi eHiroshima naseNagasaki umbuso wakwaTruman owangena kuzo ngaphambi kokuba kuphele iMpi Yezwe II?
Abaningi abashisekeli bokuthula engibahlonipha kakhulu, kanye nabasinde eHiroshima naseNagasaki (ebizwa ngokuthi Hibakusha), inxusa u-Obama ukuba axolise ngokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu enuzi kanye/noma ahlangane kafushane nabasindile. Angiphikisani nezinyathelo ezinjalo, kodwa i-rhetoric kanye nama-ops wesithombe akukhona okudingeka ngempela futhi kungasebenza ngokumelene nalokho okudingeka ngempela. Ngenxa yezinkulumo zakhe kanye nobulungu beqembu, u-Obama unikezwe igunya lokufudumeza kwakhe iminyaka engaphezu kweyisikhombisa. Bengincamela ukuthi angasho lutho, angabe esakhuluma nhlobo. Ngenxa yenkulumo yasePrague lapho u-Obama enxenxa abantu ukuthi ukuqeda ama-nukes kumele kuthathe amashumi eminyaka, unikezwe imvume yokutshala izimali ezinkulu kuma-nukes amasha, waqhubeka nenqubomgomo yesiteleka sokuqala, ama-nukes amaningi eYurophu, wanda inzondo eRussia, waqhubeka nokungahambisani nemithetho. ngesivumelwano sokungabhebhetheki, kanye nokwesaba okuyingozi okuzungeze uhlelo lwezikhali zenuzi oluthusayo lwase-Iran (nakuba lungekho).
Okudingekayo akukhona ukuxolisa kakhulu njengokuvuma amaqiniso. Lapho abantu befunda amaqiniso mayelana nezimangalo zokuhlenga eziqongweni zezintaba e-Iraq, noma lapho i-ISIS ivela khona, ukuthi uGadaffi wayesabisa ngempela ngokubulala abantu abaningi futhi enikeza i-Viagra yokudlwengula, noma ngabe i-Iraq yayinayo ngempela i-WMD noma yakhipha izingane kuma-incubator, empeleni kwenzekani Gulf of Tonkin, kungani Ama-USS Maine kwaqhuma ethekwini laseHavana, kanjalonjalo, abantu base beyijikela impi. Bese bonke bekholelwa ukuthi ukuxolisa kuyadingeka. Futhi baxolisa egameni likahulumeni wabo. Futhi bafuna ukuxolisa okusemthethweni. Yilokhu okufanele kwenzeke ku-Hiroshima.
Ngijoyine abasayini baseMelika abangaphezu kuka-50 encwadini eyabhalwa isazi-mlando u-Peter Kuznick ezoshicilelwa ngoMeyi 23 ecela uMongameli Obama ukuthi alusebenzise kahle ukuvakasha kwakhe e-Hiroshima ngokuthi:
- “Umhlangano nabo bonke abakwaHibakusha abakwazi ukuhambela
- Imemezela ukuphela kwezinhlelo zase-US zokusebenzisa ama- $ 1 trillion esizukulwaneni esisha sezikhali zenuzi kanye nezinhlelo zazo zokulethwa
- Ukuqinisa kabusha izingxoxo zokuncishiswa kwezikhali zenuzi ukuze zidlulele ngale kwe-START Entsha ngokumemezela ukuncishiswa okuhlangene kwezikhali zase-US ezisetshenzisiwe ezizikhalini zenuzi eziyi-1,000 noma ngaphansi.
- Ukucela i-Russia ukuthi ihlanganyele ne-United States ekubizeni 'izingxoxo zokukholwa okuhle' ezidingwa yiSivumelwano Sokungabhebhetheki KweNuclear ukuze kuqedwe ngokuphelele izikhali zenuzi zomhlaba.
- Ukubheka kabusha ukwenqaba kwakho ukuxolisa noma ukuxoxa ngomlando ophathelene nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu e-A, okuthi ngisho noMongameli u-Eisenhower, oJenene MacArthur, King, Arnold, noLeMay kanye no-Admirals Leahy noNimitz bathi kwakungadingekile ukuqeda impi. "
Uma uMengameli u-Obama exolisa nje, ngaphandle kokuchaza amaqiniso odaba, uzovele azithole elahlwa njengembuka ngaphandle kokwenza umphakathi wase-US ube mancane amathuba okuthi ubuyisele izimpi. Ngakho-ke isidingo “sokuxoxa ngomlando” sibalulekile.
Lapho ebuzwa ukuthi ngabe u-Obama ubezokwenza yini lokho uTruman, umkhulumeli ka-Obama Josh Earnest uthe: “Ngicabanga ukuthi angakusho umengameli wukuthi kunzima ukuzibeka kuleso simo ngaphandle. Ngicabanga ukuthi umongameli uyakwazisa ukuthi umongameli Truman wenze lesi sinqumo ngezizathu ezifanele. UMongameli Truman wayegxile ezithakazelweni zokuphepha kazwelonke zase-United States, . . . ekuqedeni impi embi kakhulu. Futhi umongameli uTruman wenze lesi sinqumo ekhumbula ngokugcwele ukuhlaselwa kwabantu okungenzeka. Ngicabanga ukuthi kunzima ukubheka emuva futhi ngikuqagele kakhulu.”
Lokhu "okubheke phambili" okubalulekile. Umuntu akumele abheke emuva bese eqagela ukuthi othile onamandla wenze okungalungile. Umuntu kufanele abheke emuva futhi aphethe ngokuthi wayenezinhloso ezinhle, ngaleyo ndlela enze noma yimuphi umonakalo awubangele “umonakalo wesibambiso” walezo zinhloso ezinhle ezikhululayo.
Lokhu bekungeke kube nandaba kangako ukube abantu base-United States bebewazi umlando wangempela walokho okwenzeka eHiroshima. Nansi i-Reuters yakamuva esihlokweni ukuhlukanisa ngobuhlakani phakathi kwalokho abantu base-United States abakucabangayo nalokho osomlando abakuqondayo:
"Iningi labantu baseMelika libona ukuqhuma kwamabhomu njengento edingekayo ukuze kuqedwe impi futhi kusindise izimpilo zase-US naseJapane, nakuba izazi-mlando eziningi zibuza lowo mbono. Iningi lamaJapane likholelwa ukuthi lalingafaneleki.”
I-Reuters iyaqhubeka nokumela ukubheka phambili:
"Izikhulu kuwo womabili la mazwe zikubeke kwacaca ukuthi zifuna ukugcizelela okwamanje nekusasa, hhayi ukugebha okwedlule, njengoba nalaba baholi bobabili behlonipha zonke izisulu zempi."
Ukuhlonipha izisulu ngokugwema ukubheka ukuthi kwenzekeni kuzo? Cishe ngokuhlekisa, abakwaReuters baphenduka ngokushesha bacele uhulumeni waseJapan ukuthi abheke emuva:
"Ngisho ngaphandle kokuxolisa, abanye banethemba lokuthi ukuvakasha kuka-Obama kuzogqamisa izindleko ezinkulu zomuntu ngenxa yokuqhuma kwamabhomu futhi kucindezele iJapane ukuba ibhekane nezibopho zayo kanye nezenzo zonya."
Njengoba kufanele. Kepha u-Obama uzovakashela kanjani indawo yobugebengu obukhulu obungakaze bubonwe, futhi ehluleka ngamabomu ukuvuma ubugebengu kanye nesibopho kuzoyikhuthaza kanjani iJapan ukuthi ithathe indlela ehlukile?
Ngike ngakwenza ngaphambilini wabhalwa phansi engingathanda ukukuzwa u-Obama ekusho e-Hiroshima. Nansi isiqephu:
“Sekuyiminyaka eminingi ingasekho ingxabano ebucayi. Emasontweni ambalwa ngaphambi kokuba kuphonswe ibhomu lokuqala, ngo-July 13, 1945, iJapane yathumela incwadi yocingo eSoviet Union izwakalisa isifiso sayo sokucela umaluju nokuqeda impi. I-United States yayiphule amakhodi aseJapane futhi yayifunda i-telegram. UTruman ubhekise encwadini yakhe yezenzakalo 'i-telegram evela ku-Jap Emperor ecela ukuthula.' UMongameli uTruman wayetshelwe ngeziteshi zaseSwitzerland nesiPutukezi mayelana nezingxoxo zokuthula zaseJapan ezinyangeni ezintathu ngaphambi kweHiroshima. IJapane yenqaba kuphela ukuzinikela ngokungenamibandela futhi idele umbusi wayo, kodwa i-United States yaphikelela kuleyo mibandela kwaze kwaba ngemva kokuwa kwamabhomu, okuyilapho yavumela iJapane ukuba igcine umbusi wayo.
“Umeluleki kamongameli uJames Byrnes wayetshele uTruman ukuthi ukuwisa amabhomu kwakuzovumela i-United States ukuthi 'ibeke imigomo yokuqeda impi.' UNobhala Webutho Lamanzi UJames Forrestal wabhala encwadini yakhe ukuthi u-Byrnes 'wayekulangazelela kakhulu ukuqeda indaba yaseJapane ngaphambi kokuba amaRussia angene.' UTruman wabhala encwadini yakhe ukuthi amaSoviet ayelungiselela ukumasha ngokumelene neJapane kanye 'neFini Japs lapho lokho kwenzeka.' UTruman wayala ukuthi ibhomu liphonswe eHiroshima ngo-Agasti 6 kanye nolunye uhlobo lwebhomu, ibhomu le-plutonium, amasosha ayefuna ukulihlola futhi alibonise, eNagasaki ngo-Agasti 9. Futhi ngo-August 9, amaSoviet ahlasela amaJapane. Emasontweni amabili alandelayo, amaSoviet abulala amaJapane angu-84,000 12,000 kuyilapho elahlekelwa amasosha awo angu-XNUMX XNUMX, futhi i-United States yaqhubeka iqhumisa amabhomu eJapane ngezikhali ezingezona zenuzi. Khona-ke amaJapane azinikela.
“I-United States Strategic Bombing Survey yaphetha ngokuthi, ‘… ngokuqinisekile ngaphambi komhla zingama-31 kuZibandlela, 1945, futhi cishe ngaphambi komhla lu-1 kuLwezi, 1945, iJapan yayiyobe izinikele ngisho noma amabhomu e-athomu ayengazange awiswe, noma ngabe iRussia yangena empini, ngisho noma kwakungekho ukuhlasela okwakuhleliwe noma okwakucatshangwa.' Omunye ophikisayo owayeveze lo mbono ofanayo kuNobhala Wezempi ngaphambi kokuqhuma kwamabhomu kwakunguGeneral Dwight Eisenhower. USihlalo Wezinduna Ezihlangene Zezisebenzi u-Admiral William D. Leahy uvumile: 'Ukusetshenziswa kwalesi sikhali esinonya e-Hiroshima nase-Nagasaki kwakungelona usizo oluphathekayo empini yethu ne-Japan. AmaJapane ayesehluliwe kakade futhi alungele ukuzinikela,' esho.
Ngenhlanhla yomhlaba, izizwe ezingezona zenuzi zihamba zivala izikhali zenuzi. Ukuletha amazwe enuzi emkhunjini kanye nokuqeda izikhali kuzodinga ukuqala ukukhuluma iqiniso.
