Encwadini entsha, yase-US, kakhulu yezemfundo ka-Alexander Downes ebizwa Impumelelo Eyinhlekelele: Kungani Uguquko Lwemithetho Yamazwe Angaphandle Lungahambi Kahle, ukuziphatha okubi kokuketula ohulumeni babanye abantu akutholakali. Ukungabi semthethweni kwayo kubukeka sengathi akukho. Iqiniso lokuthi ukuzama ukuketula kuvame ukuhluleka, nokuthi lokho kwehluleka kungaba nemiphumela eyinhlekelele, alingeni kukho. Kepha uhulumeni ophumelelayo uketula - okugxilwe kuyo le ncwadi - kuvame ukuba yizinhlekelele ezinkulu ezinukayo ngokwazo, okuholela ezimpini zombango, okuholele ekutheni kube nezimpi eziqhubekayo nombhidli, okuholela kohulumeni abangakwenzi lokho obekufunwa ngumgumbuqi. ngokuqinisekile - futhi kunalokho ngokubikezela - okungaholeli ngisho nalokho okudlula "intando yeningi" kumasiko aseNtshonalanga.
Ubufakazi bukhulu kakhulu bokuthi ukuthatha izintambo noma "ushintsho lombuso" we-Ukraine yi-US noma iRussia kungenzeka kube inhlekelele e-Ukraine nase-US noma eRussia (oh, kanye nakho konke ukuphila eMhlabeni uma ama-nukes. zisebenzise) - nokuthi ukuketulwa umbuso kwangempela okusekelwe e-US ka-2014 kube inhlekelele kumodeli walabo abaku (nakuba ingekho yona ngokwayo) encwadini ka-Downes.
I-Downes isebenzisa uhlu olukhetheke kakhulu lokuketula, kuyilapho ngaphezulu olunzulu zikhona. Ubheka amacala angu-120 okuphumelela "izinguquko zombuso" "abangeneleli" abangu-153 phakathi kuka-1816 no-2008. Kulolu hlu, izigebengu eziphezulu zakwamanye amazwe eziketula ohulumeni yi-United States enama-33, iBrithani nge-16, i-USSR 16, i-Prussia / i-Germany 14, France 11, Guatemala 8, Austria 7, El Salvador 5, Italy 5.
“SingoNombolo Wokuqala! SiyiNombolo Yokuqala!”
Izisulu ezivame kakhulu zokuketulwa kwamanye amazwe yiHonduras izikhathi ezingu-8, i-Afghanistan 6, iNicaragua 5, iDominican Republic 5, iBelgium 4, iHungary 4, iGuatemala 4, ne-El Salvador 3. Ngobulungisa, iHonduras yayigqoke ngendlela evusa inkanuko futhi iyicela ngempela.
U-Downes uhlola lokhu kuketula kukahulumeni ongenamthetho futhi uphethe ngokuthi abakhiqizi ngokwethembekile ohulumeni abaziphatha ngendlela efunwa ngayo, abavamisile “ukuthuthukisa ubudlelwano phakathi kwabangeneleli nabahlosiwe” - okusho ukuthi kungenzeka kube nezimpi eziningi phakathi kwalawa mazwe womabili, nokuthi abaholi abafakiwe basezingeni eliphezulu. ubungozi bokulahlekelwa amandla ngobudlova, kuyilapho amazwe ashintshiwe umbuso enengozi enkulu yezingxabano zombango.
Ubungeke ucabange ukuthi lokhu kudinga incazelo, kodwa i-Downes inikeza eyodwa: “Umbono wami uchaza le miphumela enodlame ngokusebenzisa izindlela ezimbili. Eyokuqala, engiyibiza ngokuthi ukuhlakazeka kwamasosha, ichaza kabanzi ukuthi ukuguqulwa kombuso kungadala kanjani ukuvukela umbuso kanye nempi yombango ngokuhlakazeka nokuhlakaza amabutho ezempi okuhlosiwe. Okwesibili, inkinga yothishanhloko abaqhudelanayo, ichaza ukuthi izifiso ezingafanele zabaphathi ababili babaholi—umbuso ongenelayo kanye nezilaleli zasekhaya zomholi—kubabeka kanjani abaholi enkingeni lapho ukuphendula ezithakazelweni zomunye kukhulisa kanjani ubungozi bokungqubuzana nabaholi. okunye, ngaleyo ndlela kwandise amathuba akho kokubili ukungqubuzana kwabaxhasi kanye nokungqubuzana kwangaphakathi kulokho okuhlosiwe.”
Ngakho-ke, manje esikudingayo ohulumeni abaziphatha njengabadlali abanengqondo kumamodeli ezemfundo. Khona-ke singabaphakela le datha yokuthi ubugebengu bokuketula ohulumeni (kanye nokubulala inani elikhulu labantu ezikhathini eziningi) buvame ukwehluleka ngokwemibandela yabo, futhi sizobe sesilungile.
Noma sidinga amamodeli ezemfundo ukuthi afake phakathi izintshisekelo zokushayela zokuthengiswa kwezikhali, ukudabuka, izikhalazo ezincane, i-machismo, kanye ne-powerlust, futhi sibale kabusha imiphumela. Lokho kungase futhi kusebenze.
Okwesithathu okungenzeka kube ukulalela imithetho, kodwa lokho kuyizinto zabantu abancane abangabalulekile.
