Yimuphi Iqembu Owubheka I-Iran Ngayo?

By World BEYOND War, Mashi 11, i-2015

Iningi labantu e-United States lixhumana kancane ne-Iran noma isiko layo. I-Iran iza njengosongo olwesabekayo ezinkulumweni zama-demagogues. Uhlu lwenkulumo-mpikiswano lunikezwa phakathi ukuqeda it futhi ingcindezi ukuthi ihambisane nezinkambiso zethu eziphucuzekile, noma okungenani imikhuba ephucuzekile yelinye izwe engabacishi noma abacindezeli abantu.

Ngakho-ke abantu baseMelika bayibheka kanjani i-Iran? Abaningi bakubuka, njengazo zonke izindaba zikahulumeni, ngokusebenzisa i-lens yeDemocratic Party noma i-Republican Party. Umongameli weDemocratic Alliance usebonakale njengosohlangothini lokuvimbela impi ne-Iran. I-Republican Congress isibonakale njengephusha leyo mpi. Kulolu hlaka, kwenzeka okuthile okuphawulekayo. Amademokhrasi aqala ukuqaphela konke izingxabano ngokumelene nempi okufanele isetshenziswe kuzo zonke izimpi.

Abakhululekile nabathuthukayo bagcwele inkulumo mayelana nokuhlonipha umongameli wabo kanye nomkhuzi wabo omkhulu kanye nokulandela inkambo yakhe yokuqeda usongo lwase-Iran, nokunye. Kodwa baphinde baveze ukuthi impi iyazikhethela, ukuthi akuyona indlela yokugcina efanelekile ngoba kuhlale kukhona ezinye izinqumo. Bakhomba ukungafuneki kwempi, ukwesabeka kwempi, kanye nokukhethwa kwesinqumo sezikhulu, ngempela isizukulwane sobudlelwano obunobungane nokubambisana - yize kwezinye izimo njengendlela yokulwa nenye impi ne-Iran njengomfelandawonye. (Lokhu kubonakala kuwuhlelo luka-Obama lokusebenzisa impi ukulungisa inhlekelele eyashiywa impi edlule.)

Izinhlangano zezishoshovu eziku-inthanethi ezihlotshaniswa neDemocratic Party empeleni zenza kahle ngokuphawulekayo ekuphikisaneni nempi ne-Iran. Baye bayilahla kakhulu inkulumo kaMongameli ethi ngokungenasisekelo i-Iran iphishekela izikhali zenuzi, ikhetha ukuhlambalaza ngengozi yokufudumala kweRiphabhlikhi. Leso yisimo esisekelwe eqinisweni esiphethwe yiqembu elingekho - amaRiphabhulikhi awasho ukuthi aqala impi futhi i-White House ngokuvamile ayigxili ekubamangaleleni ngayo. Yebo, la maqembu asaphusha umqondo wokuthi amaRiphabhulikhi angahloniphi umongameli wawo kuyinto enkulu kakhulu kunokuqala impi, kodwa uma ephendukela esihlokweni sempi azwakala sengathi ayaphikisana nayo futhi ayaqonda ukuthi kungani sonke kufanele sihlale njalo.

Uma ubona i-Iran ngalelo lensi ye-left-Democratic, okungukuthi uma uphikisana nemizamo yeRiphabhulikhi yokuqala enye impi eyinhlekelele engadingekile, lena ne-Iran, nginemibono embalwa engingathanda ukuyiqhuba.

1. Kuthiwani uma uMongameli Obama ephikisana nemizamo yokubukela phansi nokuketula uhulumeni waseVenezuela? Kuthiwani uma amaRiphabhulikhi eCongress ayethi iVenezuela yayiwusongo e-United States? Kuthiwani uma amaRiphabhulikhi ebebhala izincwadi zokukhuthaza abaholi bemizamo yokuketula umbuso eVenezuela ukuze babazise ukuthi basekelwa yi-U.S. kungakhathalekile ukuthi uMnyango Wezwe ungathini? Ungaphikisa ukuketulwa kukahulumeni waseVenezuela?

2. Kuthiwani ukube iCongress ibithumele ithimba ukuthi liyogqugquzela ukuketula umbuso ngodlame eKiev, ngemuva koMnyango Wezwe kanye ne-White House? Kuthiwani uma ingcindezi ibheke empini ye-nuclear Russia, futhi abaholi be-Republican beCongress bebevutha amalangabi ngenkathi i-White House iphishekela ezinye izindlela zokuxoxisana, ukuchithwa kwezempi, ukuqeda ukulwa, izingxoxo, usizo, kanye nomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe? Ungaphikisa ukwesekwa kweCongress yase-US kuhulumeni wobumbano olungile e-Ukraine kanye nokuphikisana kwayo neRussia?

3. Kuthiwani uma uMongameli Obama enikeza inkulumo ecacile evuma ukuthi akukhona nje ukuthi "akukho sixazululo sezempi" e-Iraq noma eSiriya kodwa akulungile ukuqhubeka usho lokho ngenkathi uphishekela isisombululo sezempi? Kuthiwani uma ekhipha amasosha ase-US kuleso sifunda futhi ephuma e-Afghanistan futhi acele iCongress ukuthi ixhase i-Marshall Plan yosizo kanye nokubuyisela, ngentengo ephansi kakhulu kunokuba khona kwebutho? Futhi kuthiwani uma amaRiphabhlikhi ethula umthethosivivinywa wokubuyisela wonke amasosha phakathi? Ungawuphikisa lowo mthethosivivinywa?

4. Kuthiwani uma amakomidi e-Congressional ahlomile "amasevisi" ebeka amaphaneli ukuze abuyekeze uhlu lokubulala futhi ayalele amadoda, abesifazane, nezingane ezihlosiwe futhi zabulawa ngeziteleka ze-drone, kanye nanoma ubani osondelene kakhulu nabo nanoma ubani onephrofayela esolisayo? Kuthiwani uma uMongameli u-Obama esola iCongress ngokwephula imithetho kazwelonke ngokubulala, uMthethosisekelo wase-U.S., i-U.N. Charter, i-Geneva Conventions, i-Kellogg Briand Pact, iMithetho Eyishumi, kanye nezifundo zesikhathi esedlule ezibonisa izenzo zobudedengu ezinjalo zokukhiqiza izitha eziningi kune bayabulala? Ungabhikishela ukubulawa kwe-drone futhi ufune ukuqedwa kwama-drones ahlomile?

Nakhu okungikhathazayo. Kunezimpawu ezinhle njengamanje futhi ezinye zazikhona ngasekupheleni kuka-2013 nangezikhathi ezithile kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. Kepha ukunyakaza kwe-anti-Republican-war ka-2002-2007 kungenzeka kungaphinde kufaniswe kuze kube yilapho uMongameli wase-US eseyi-Republican (uma lokho kwenzeka futhi). Futhi ngaleso sikhathi, izimpi zikaMongameli uGeorge W. Bush zizobe sezidlule isikhathi eside ngaphandle kwezinhlawulo kulabo abathintekayo. Futhi uMongameli u-Obama uzobe esenyusile ukusetshenziswa kwemali kwezempi kanye nokuba khona kwamanye amazwe kanye nokwenza izinto ezizimele, anikeze i-CIA amandla okulwa izimpi, aqede umkhuba wokuthola imvume ye-UN ngezimpi, aqede isiko lokuthola unswinyo lwe-Congressional for war, wasungula umkhuba wokubulala abantu imicibisholo noma kuphi emhlabeni (futhi ihlome ingxenye yezizwe zomhlaba ngekhono elifanayo), ngenkathi iqhubeka nokusabalalisa ubudlova nezikhali ngeLibya, Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, njalonjalo.

Umbuzo owodwa wokugcina: Uma ube nethuba lokuphikisa izinto ongazithandi, noma ziwumphumela wokubumbana, unga?
