NguDavid Swanson, November 1, 2017, Ake sizame ngentando yeningi.
Ifilimu kaDeb Ellis noDennis Mueller Ukuthula Akunamingcele ixoxa indaba yabaphikisi bempi base-US eCanada ngokumelene nempi yamanje ye-2003 e-Iraq, kanye nemizamo ye Umkhankaso Wokusekela Abaphikisana Nempi ukubazuzela ilungelo lokungadingiswa.
Amalungu amaningi ombutho wezempi waseMelika eminyakeni yamuva ashiye athuthela eCanada, lapho kwezinye izimo aye akhuluma ngokumelene nempi yase-US e-Iraq. Le filimu isikhombisa kancane ezinye zezindaba zabo.
UJeremy Hinzman wayengowokuqala.
U-Kimberly Rivera wayengumshayeli weloli we-US Army e-Iraq owalahlekelwa ukukholelwa kwakhe emangeni ngempi.
UPatrick Hart naye wayeseButhweni Lezempi. Uthi elinye isosha limtshele ukuthi uzokhipha izinwele zezingane eziningi zase-Iraq endaweni yokushisa yemoto yakhe, nokuthi kumele aphathe izingane njengezinciphisajubane. U-Hart wayengekho phansi ngalokho.
U-Chuck Wiley wayeseButhweni Lamanzi Lase-US iminyaka engu-16 futhi wagcina enqabile ukuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu izakhiwo zezakhamuzi, athi - egqoke ihembe lakhe le-Veterans For Peace - kwamshiyela ukukhetha ukuya ejele noma ukushiya i-United States.
I-War Resisters Support Committee yasungulwa ngo-2004 futhi yakhula ngokushesha ngo-2005. Abaphikisi bafuna isikhundla sababaleki ngezizathu zokwenqaba ukuhlanganyela “empini engekho emthethweni.” Baphikwa.
Ukuvota kuthole ukuthi izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zabantu baseCanada bafuna ukuvumela abaphikisi ukuthi bahlale. Uhulumeni waseCanada ubemanqikanqika kakhulu, emele - njengoba enza - uhulumeni wase-United States, kakhulu kunabantu baseCanada.
U-Olivia Chow, oyilungu lePhalamende, uthe ukholelwa ukuthi noma ngubani omelana nempi yase-Iraq unesibindi, futhi iCanada idinga abantu abanesibindi. UChow uphakamise isiphakamiso esingabophi, esadlula ePhalamende. Wonke amalungu ePhalamende kwakudingeka akhethe, kusho uChow, ukuthi yebo empini noma yebo kubaphikisi bempi abanesibindi.
UWiley ukhulume ngokukhula kothando lwakhe ngeCanada ngokusekelwe ekuboneni kwakhe ukuthi uhulumeni angabamela kanjani abantu. Ngokudabukisayo, noma kunjalo, izinqumo ezingabophi azizange zibe nomthelela kuhulumeni kaNdunankulu uStephen Harper.
Ngakho-ke, kwethulwa umthethosivivinywa oyisibopho. Ngobuchule, ilungu leLiberal Party lahola, ukuze kuqinisekiswe amavoti eLiberal. Kodwa uma sekufika isikhathi sokuvota ngempela, umholi walelo qembu owabhala impi uMichael Ignatieff wahola idlanzana lamalungu eqembu lakhe ekukhipheni i-AWOL esuka ePhalamende ukuze agweme ukuvota futhi aqinisekise ukunqotshwa - isenzo sobugwala obukhulu ekuphenduleni izimfuno zesibindi.
U-Rivera no-Hart baxoshwa. U-Rivera uchithe izinyanga ezingu-10 ejele. UHart uthole isigwebo esiyirekhodi sezinyanga ezingama-25. UWiley wathola ukuthi ukhululiwe. Bonke manje bahlala e-United States. U-Hinzman uzuze, okungenani okwesikhashana, ilungelo lokuhlala eCanada.
Ngo-2015 i-Conservative Party yalahlekelwa. Kepha uhulumeni omusha ngaphansi kukaNdunankulu uJustin Trudeau akazange asebenzele abaphikisi abasele, awenzanga ukuthi iziphakamiso ezingabophi zibe nengqondo. Futhi azikho izikweletu ezintsha ezethuliwe.
Lokhu kubeka isibonelo esibi kuzo zonke izimpi zamanje zase-US kanye nazo zonke izimpi zase-US ezisazofika. Kubonakala kubucayi ukuthi iCanada, manje, ngenkathi inohulumeni owenza sengathi unesizotha, ithathe isinyathelo esiwujuqu sokumisa izindinganiso zokukhoselisa abenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza - izindinganiso ezizobambelela kunoma yisiphi isihogo esisazokhishwa emathunjini.
