EWest Point ngafunda ukuthi ubuchwepheshe buphoqa impi ukuthi iguquke. Isizathu esenza amasosha namuhla engasagibeli amahhashi eya empini, asebenzise iminsalo nemicibisholo, futhi aphathe nemikhonto, kungenxa yesibhamu. Isizathu esenza abantu bangabe besalwa emiseleni, njengoba benza phakathi neMpi Yezwe I, kungenxa yokuthi ithangi nendiza kwathuthukiswa kakhulu futhi kwakhiqizwa ngobuningi. Kodwa kunendlela entsha yobuchwepheshe eye yashintsha impi ngaphezu kwesibhamu, ithangi, noma indiza. Lokho kusungulwa kwezobuchwepheshe kuyimithombo yezokuxhumana.
Namuhla ukuqonda kwabantu abaningi ngobudlova kuwubuwula, ngoba abaqapheli ukuthi i-intanethi kanye nenkundla yezokuxhumana, ukuzalwa okusha kwemithombo yezindaba, kuyishintshe kangakanani impi. Isikhali esinamandla kunazo zonke i-ISIS enaso yi-inthanethi enenkundla yezokuxhumana, eye yavumela i-ISIS ukuthi ibuthe abantu abavela kuwo wonke umhlaba.
Emlandweni omningi wabantu, abantu abavela emhlabeni wonke bekufanele bathumele amasosha phezu komhlaba noma olwandle ukuze akuhlasele, kodwa i-inthanethi kanye nenkundla yezokuxhumana ivumela abantu abavela emhlabeni wonke ukuthi bakholwe izakhamuzi zakini ukuthi zikuhlasele. Abantu abaningana abenza ukuhlasela kwamaphekula kwe-ISIS eParis kwakungabantu baseFrance, futhi manje kubonakala sengathi abantu ababili abenze lesi sigameko sokudubula eSan Bernardino babethonywe yi-ISIS.
Ukuze i-ISIS iphumelele idinga izinto ezimbili ukuthi zenzeke. Idinga ukululaza ubuntu kubantu ebabulalayo, futhi idinga amazwe aseNtshonalanga ehlise isithunzi samaSulumane. Lapho amazwe aseNtshonalanga elulaza amaSulumane, lokhu kuphinda kuhlukanise abantu abangamaSulumane futhi kwandisa ukubuthwa kwe-ISIS. I-ISIS yenza ubudlova obunyantisayo kubantu baseNtshonalanga ngoba ifuna ukuthi sithatheke ngokweqisa ngokubukela phansi, ukululaza, nokuhlukanisa amaSulumane.
Ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho amazwe aseNtshonalanga eyi-stereotype, edelela, futhi ehlukanisa amaSulumane, enza lokho kanye okufunwa yi-ISIS. Umgomo oyisisekelo wesu lezempi ukuthi akufanele senze lokho abaphikisana nathi abakufunayo. Ukuze uhlelo lwe-ISIS lusebenze, idinga ukululaza izitha zayo, kodwa mhlawumbe okubaluleke kakhulu, idinga abantu baseMelika nabaseYurophu ukuze balulaze amaSulumane.
I-ISIS ayikwazi ukuqhathaniswa neJalimane lamaNazi, ngoba amaNazi awakwazanga ukusebenzisa i-intanethi kanye nezokuxhumana njengesikhali sempi nobuphekula. Ukuzama ukulwa ne-ISIS ngendlela esalwa ngayo namaNazi, lapho namuhla i-Internet kanye nezinkundla zokuxhumana seziguqule ngokuphawulekayo impi yekhulunyaka lamashumi amabili nanye, kungafana nokuzama ukulwa namaNazi ngokusebenzisa amahhashi, imikhonto, iminsalo nemicibisholo. Abayishumi nanhlanu kwabangu-19 abaduni ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kwangoSepthemba 11 babevela eSaudi Arabia, omunye wabangane abasondelene kakhulu ne-United States. Abekho abaduni ababevela e-Iraq. I-ISIS ibukeka isiphathe kangcono isikhali se-inthanethi kune-Al Qaida, ngoba i-ISIS inekhono kakhulu ekukholiseni izakhamizi zaseFrance nezaseMelika ukuthi zihlasele.
Ngenxa yokuthi ubuchwepheshe bushintshe impi ngekhulunyaka lamashumi amabili nanye futhi bavumela i-ISIS ukuthi iqhube umkhankaso wezempi wedijithali, kuwubuwula ukukholelwa ukuthi singabunqoba ubuphekula ngokunqoba nokubamba indawo, osekuphenduke uhlobo lwempi lwakudala futhi oluphikisayo. Phakathi nenkathi yenguquko ye-inthanethi, kuwubuwula ukukholelwa ukuthi singasebenzisa udlame ukuze sinqobe imibono esekela ubuphekula. I-ISIS kanye ne-Al Qaida ukunyakaza komhlaba wonke, futhi nge-inthanethi nezinkundla zokuxhumana, bangakwazi ukuqasha abantu abavela kuwo wonke umhlaba, okuhlanganisa abantu basemhlabathini waseMelika naseYurophu. Futhi kufanele baqashe inani elincane labantu baseMelika nabaseYurophu, baqale ukuhlasela okukodwa, futhi babulale abantu abambalwa ukuze babangele ukweqisa okukhulu abakufunayo kubaphikisi babo. Masingaphenduli ngezindlela ezifunwa yi-ISIS.
