Awukwazi ukuthuthukisa umthetho ngokuziqhayisa ngokuzwakalayo ngokubulala. Awukwazi ukuqeda ubuphekula ngokwenza ubuphekula. Nangu umongameli wase-US ememezela obala ukuthi ubulele ngenhloso yokuvumela abantu besabe ukuthi bazolandela. Uma kukhona okuhambisana nencazelo yobushokobezi, lokho kuyenzeka. Umphakathi wase-US awukwazi ukukubona ngoba (1) noma yini eyenziwa yi-US yinhle, (2) abalandeli bakaTrump basekela noma yini ayenzayo, (3) abathembekile beDemocratic Party bakholelwa ukuthi noma yibuphi ubugebengu obenziwe uBarack Obama abusoze baba ubugebengu noma ngabe uTrump wenza kubo. Kepha lobu bugebengu abemukelwa nje kuphela; kuyiphuzu lokuziqhenya - indlela yokuzizwa uphakeme kunamanye amazwe angazange abulale noma yimaphi amaphekula noma adale noma yimaphi amaphekula ukuba abulale.
Akuyona indaba yombono wanoma ngubani ukuthi iMelika ifuna ukuketulwa kukahulumeni waseSyria iminyaka. Inkinga ukuthi umphakathi wase-US awuthokozile ngokucekela phansi iSyria; kujabule ngokucekela phansi i-ISIS. Ngakho-ke, iminyaka manje, uhulumeni wase-US ufune ukubonakala sengathi uhlasela i-ISIS ngenkathi ehlasela uhulumeni waseSyria. Lokhu akubonakali kushintshile. Ukubulala umholi we-ISIS - amahlandla ayisithupha kuze kube manje - kwakha ukusekelwa komphakathi wase-US empini. Kepha impi izogumbuqela uhulumeni waseSyria, noma - uma lokho kungenziwa - okungenani ukweba uwoyela wayo omncane.
AmaDemokhrasi azogxuma nganoma yiliphi ithuba lokugwema ukuthweswa icala, kepha njengoba uhulumeni wase-US uwonke enze sengathi ubeka konke ekuhlaseleni i-ISIS, kanti empeleni ehlose ukulawula umhlaba kanye nomphakathi wase-US, amaDemocrats enze sengathi abeka konke ekuhlaseleni uTrump, ngenkathi empeleni kuhlose ukujabulisa ama-oligarchs ezinkampani afanayo awasebenzelayo. Inkathazo yamaDemokhrasi ukuthi umphakathi manje ulindele ukuthi uTrump agwetshwe, futhi ukubulala uBaghdadi ngeke kukushintshe lokho. Futhi ngeke isishintshe kakhulu isimo eSyria noma e-Iraq.
Ushintsho olufanele ukuziqhayisa ngalo kungaba ukuhoxiswa kwangempela, isivumelwano sokuphucwa izikhali, ukuvinjelwa kwezikhali, isivumelwano sokuthula, ukugcinwa kokuthula okungenabudlova, usizo lwangempela, noma izimpilo ezithuthukisiwe zabantu eSyria. Asikaboni lutho lwalezo zinto.
