NguDavid Swanson, Amazwana eLondon, eNgilandi, Julayi 2, 2014.
Siyabonga kuBruce Kent kanye ne-Movement for the Abolition of War kanye Nakuma-Veterans For Peace kanye Nomkhankaso Wokuhoxiswa Kwezikhali Zenuzi. Siyabonga ku-Stop the War Coalition kanye nawo wonke umuntu ngokusiza ekusakazeni igama.
Ezinsukwini ezingu-8, ngoJulayi 10 uMary Ann Grady-Flores, ugogo wase-Ithaca, NY, uhlelwe ukuthi agwetshwe unyaka owodwa ejele. Ubugebengu bakhe buphula umyalelo wokuvikela, okuyithuluzi elisemthethweni lokuvikela umuntu othile odlameni lomunye umuntu. Kulokhu, umkhuzi we-Hancock Air Base uvikelwe ngokusemthethweni kubabhikishi abangenalo udlame abazinikezele, naphezu kokuvikelwa kokuyala isizinda sakhe sezempi, futhi naphezu kokuba ababhikishi bengazi ukuthi ngubani lo mfana. Yileyo ndlela kabi ngayo abantu abaphethe amarobhothi abulalayo endizayo esiwabiza ngokuthi ama-drones abafuna ukugwema noma yimiphi imibuzo ngomsebenzi wabo engena ezingqondweni zabashayeli bezindiza ze-drone.
NgoLwesine olwedlule indawo yase-US ebizwa ngokuthi yi-Stimson Centre ikhiphe umbiko ngomkhuba omusha wase-US wokubulala abantu ngemicibisholo evela kuma-drones. Isikhungo seStimson siqanjwe uHenry Stimson, uNobhala Wezempi waseMelika owathi, ngaphambi kokuhlasela kwamaJapan ePearl Harbour wabhala encwadini yakhe yezindaba, kulandela umhlangano noMongameli Roosevelt: isibhamu sokuqala ngaphandle kokuvumela ingozi enkulu kithina. Kwakuyisiphakamiso esinzima.” (Ezinyangeni ezine ngaphambili, uChurchill wayetshele iKhabhinethi yakhe ku-10 Downing Street ukuthi inqubomgomo yase-US mayelana neJapane ihlanganisa lokhu: “Konke kwakumelwe kwenziwe ukuze kuphoqelelwe isigameko.”) Lona kwakunguHenry Stimson ofanayo kamuva owakwenqabela ukuwisa ibhomu lokuqala lenuzi. e-Kyoto, ngoba wake waya e-Kyoto. Wayengakaze avakashele eHiroshima, kwaba neshwa labantu baseHiroshima.
Ngiyazi ukuthi kunomkhosi omkhulu weMpi Yezwe I oqhubekayo lapha (kanye nokuphikiswa okukhulu kwayo), kodwa e-United States kube nomgubho oqhubekayo weMpi Yezwe II iminyaka engu-70. Eqinisweni, umuntu angase aphakamise nokuthi iMpi Yezwe II yaqhubeka ngendlela ethile futhi ngezinga elincane iminyaka engu-70 (futhi ngezinga elikhulu ngezikhathi ezithile nezindawo ezifana neKorea neVietnam ne-Iraq). I-United States ayikaze ibuyele emazingeni entela yangaphambi kweMpi Yezwe II yentela noma ukusetshenziswa kwezempi, ayizange ishiye iJapane noma iJalimane, ihlanganyele ezenzweni zezempi ze-200 phesheya ngesikhathi esibizwa ngokuthi inkathi yangemva kwempi, ayikaze iyeke ukwandisa ubukhona bayo bezempi. phesheya, futhi manje inamasosha amiswe unomphela cishe kuwo wonke amazwe emhlabeni. Okuhlukile okubili, i-Iran neSyria, zisongelwa njalo.
Ngakho-ke kufaneleka ngokuphelele, ngicabanga, ukuthi kwakuyi-Stimson Centre eyakhipha lo mbiko, owake waba yizikhulu zezempi nabameli abanobungane bezempi, umbiko owawuhlanganisa lesi sitatimende esibalulekile: “Ukusetshenziswa okwandayo kwama-UAV abulalayo kungase kudale ukushelela. umthambeka oholela ezimpini eziqhubekayo noma ezibanzi.”
Okungenani lokho kuzwakala kubalulekile kimi. Izimpi eziqhubekayo? Lokho kuyinto embi kakhulu, akunjalo?
Futhi ngesonto eledlule, uhulumeni wase-US wenze esidlangalaleni imemo lapho ethi unelungelo lokubulala ngokusemthethweni isakhamuzi saseMelika (ungakhathaleli omunye umuntu) njengengxenye yempi engenamkhawulo ngesikhathi noma indawo. Ngibize ngohlanya, kodwa lokhu kubonakala kubucayi. Kuthiwani uma le mpi iqhubeka isikhathi eside ngokwanele ukukhiqiza izitha ezibalulekile?
Ngonyaka odlule iNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene yakhipha umbiko owawuthi ama-drones enza impi ibe yinto evamile kunokuba ihluke. Hewu. Lokho kungase kube inkinga ohlotsheni lwezidalwa ezikhetha ukungaqhunyiswa ngamabhomu, awucabangi? IZizwe Ezihlangene, ezakhelwe ukuqeda impi emhlabeni, zithi impi isiphenduke insakavukela.
Ngokuqinisekile ukusabela entuthukweni embi kangaka kufanele kube okuphawuleka ngokufanayo.
Ngicabanga ukuthi sesijwayele ukufunda imibiko esho izinto ezinjengokuthi “Uma singashiyi u-80% wamandla ezinto ezimbiwa phansi ezaziwayo emhlabeni sizokufa sonke, kanye nezinye izinhlobo eziningi zezilwane nathi,” futhi khona-ke ochwepheshe batusa ukuthi sisebenzise izibani ezisebenza kahle kakhulu futhi sizikhulisele utamatisi wethu. Ngiqonde ukuthi sesiyijwayele impendulo engayihlanganisi ukude le nkinga esibhekene nayo.
Kunjalo nge-UN, i-Stimson Centre, kanye nesixuku esihle sochwepheshe bezomthetho wobuntu, ngokwazi kwami.
I-Stimson Center ithi ngokubulawa kwabantu nge-drone, akufanele "badunyiswe futhi bangabi namademoni." Futhi, ngokusobala, akufanele bamiswe. Esikhundleni salokho, i-Stimson Center incoma ukubuyekezwa nokubeka izinto obala kanye nezifundo eziqinile. Ngizimisele ukubheja ukuthi uma wena noma mina sisabisa ngokufa nokubhujiswa okukhulu okuqhubekayo noma okunwebekayo sizoba ngamadimoni. Ngizimisele ukubheja umqondo wokudunyiswa ngeke uze ucatshangelwe.
IZizwe Ezihlangene, nazo, zicabanga ukuthi ukwenza izinto obala kuyimpendulo. Vele usazise ukuthi ubulala bani futhi kungani. Sizokutholela amafomu okwenza umbiko wanyanga zonke. Njengoba amanye amazwe engena kulo mdlalo sizohlanganisa imibiko yawo futhi sidale ukubonakala obala kwangempela kwamazwe ngamazwe.
Lowo umbono wabanye abantu ngenqubekelaphambili.
I-Drones, vele, akuyona ukuphela kwendlela noma - kuze kube manje - indlela ebulala kakhulu i-US kanye nabalingani bayo abalwa izimpi. Kepha kukhona lokhu kuzenzisa okuncane kwengxoxo yokuziphatha mayelana nama-drones ngoba ukubulawa kwabantu nge-drone kubukeka njengokubulala kubantu abaningi. Umongameli wase-US udlula ohlwini lwamadoda, abesifazane, nezingane ngoLwesibili, akhethe ukuthi abulawe bani, bese kuthi bona nanoma ngubani osondele kakhulu kubo babulawe - nakuba evame ukukhomba abantu ngaphandle kokwazi amagama abo. Ukuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu eLibya noma kwenye indawo kubukeka kuncane njengokubulala kubantu abaningi, ikakhulukazi uma - njengoStimson eHiroshima - bengakaze baye eLibya, futhi uma amabhomu amaningi kuthiwa aqondiswe kumuntu omubi oyedwa uhulumeni wase-US amjikile. Ngakho-ke, i-United States idlula kokuthile okufana nempi yango-2011 eLibya eshiye leso sizwe sisesimweni esihle ngaphandle kokuthi kwenzeke kunoma yimaphi amathangi okucabanga alungele amasosha ukuthi kunombuzo wesimilo okufanele uzindle ngawo.
Ngiyazibuza, singakhuluma kanjani ngama-drones noma amabhomu noma okuthiwa abeluleki abangewona ukulwa uma sizama ukuqeda impi kunokuyithuthukisa? Hhayi-ke, ngicabanga ukuthi uma sibona ukuqedwa ngokuphelele kwempi njengomgomo wethu okude kakhulu, singakhuluma ngendlela ehluke kakhulu ngayo yonke inhlobo yempi namuhla. Ngicabanga ukuthi sizoyeka ukukhuthaza umbono wokuthi noma iyiphi imemo ingenza kube semthethweni ukubulala, noma ngabe siyibonile noma cha. Ngicabanga ukuthi singasenqaba umbono wezinhlangano zamalungelo abantu wokuthi i-UN Charter kanye ne-Kellogg-Briand Pact kufanele zinganakwa. Kunokuba sicabangele ukungabi semthethweni kwamaqhinga ngesikhathi sempi, sizophikisana nokungabi semthethweni kwempi ngokwayo. Besingeke sikhulume kahle nge-United States kanye ne-Iran okungenzeka ukuthi babambane ngezandla ebunganini uma isisekelo salo mfelandawonye ohlongozwayo bekuwumzamo ohlanganyelwe wokubulala ama-Iraqi.
E-US akuyona into engavamile ukuthi amaqembu okuthula agxile kubantu baseMelika abafile be-4,000 kanye nezindleko zezimali zempi yase-Iraq, futhi enqabe ngokuqinile ukusho isigamu sesigidi kuya esigidini nesigamu sabantu base-Iraqi ababulawa, ukuthula kube nomthelela ekubulaweni kwabaningi. AbaseMelika bengazi ukuthi kwenzekeni. Kodwa lelo yisu labaphikisi bezimpi ezithile, hhayi abaphikisi bazo zonke izimpi. Ukuveza impi ethile njengebiza kakhulu kumhlaseli akubasusi abantu ngokumelene namalungiselelo empi noma kubasuse ephusheni lokuthi kungase kube nempi enhle nelungile ezinsukwini ezizayo.
Kuvamile eWashington ukuphikisana nemfucuza yezempi, njengezikhali ezingasebenzi noma ukuthi iPentagon ayizange icele iCongress, noma ukuphikisana nezimpi ezimbi ezishiya amasosha engazilungiselele ezinye izimpi ezingase zibe khona. Uma ngabe iphrojekthi yethu ibihloselwe ekugcineni ukuqeda impi, besiyobe simelana nokusebenza kahle kwezempi kunodoti wezempi futhi sivuna amasosha azilungiselele kabi angakwazi ukuqala izimpi eziningi. Sizophinde sigxile ekuvimbeni abantu abasha emasosheni nakwezempi bangafundi izincwadi zesikole njengoba sivikela iqoqo elithile lemicibisholo ukuthi ingandizi. Kuyinjwayelo ukuthi uthembekile emasosheni kuyilapho uphikisana nemigomo yabakhuzi bawo, kodwa uma usuwatusile amasosha ngomsebenzi wawo okufanele uwenze, usuke wamukele ukuthi kufanele anikeze eyodwa. Ukugubha abaphikisi beMpi Yezwe I, njengoba ngazi ukuthi abanye benu kade benza muva nje, uhlobo lwento okufanele ithathele indawo yokuhlonipha abahlanganyeli bempi.
Kungase kudingeke ukuthi singagcini nje ngokushintsha ingxoxo yethu kusukela ekuphikisaneni kwempi ethile ngemva kwempi ethile ukuya ekuxoxeni ngokuphela kwesikhungo sonke. Kungase kudingeke futhi ukuthi siguqule okungenani ngobuqili yonke ingxenye yengxoxo endleleni.
Esikhundleni sokuphakamisa ukuthi omakadebona ikakhulukazi bathole ukubonga kwethu futhi kufanele bathole ukunakekelwa kwezempilo kanye nomhlalaphansi (okuyinto umuntu ayizwa ngaso sonke isikhathi e-US), singase sifune ukuphakamisa ukuthi bonke abantu - kuhlanganise nomakadebona - babe namalungelo abantu, nokuthi omunye wethu Umsebenzi oyinhloko ukuyeka ukudala abanye omakadebona.
Esikhundleni sokuphikisa ukuthi amabutho achamele izidumbu, singase siphikisane nokwakhiwa kwezidumbu. Esikhundleni sokuzama ukuqeda ukuhlukunyezwa nokudlwengulwa nokuboshwa ngokungenamthetho ngenxa yokubulawa kwabantu abaningi, singase sifune ukugxila embangela. Ngeke sikwazi ukuqhubeka nokubeka ama- $ 2 trillion ngonyaka emhlabeni jikelele, futhi ingxenye yalokho e-United States, ekulungiseleleni izimpi futhi singalindeli ukuthi kube nezimpi.
Ngokunye ukulutheka sitshelwa ukuthi silandele abathengisi abakhulu bezidakamizwa noma silandele isidingo sabasebenzisi. Abathengisi bezidakamizwa zempi yilabo abaxhasa amasosha ngemali yeholo labazukulu bethu abangakayitholi futhi balahla amabhakede emali kuyinkulumo-ze ngeVietnam neMpi Yezwe I. Bayazi ukuthi amanga ngezimpi ezedlule abaluleke kakhulu kunamanga ngezimpi ezintsha. Futhi siyazi ukuthi isikhungo sempi asikwazanga ukusinda lapho abantu befunda iqiniso ngakho kangangokuthi abanye abantu baqala ukwenza lolo lwazi.
Umbono womphakathi wase-US uhambe ngokumelene nezimpi. Lapho iPhalamende kanye neCongress bethi cha emicibisholo eya eSyria, ingcindezi yomphakathi kule minyaka eyishumi edlule idlale indima enkulu. Kuyafana nokumisa umthethosivivinywa owesabekayo e-Iran kuCongress ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, kanye nokumelana nempi entsha e-Iraq. Amalungu eCongress akhathazekile ngokuvotela enye impi efana ne-Iraq, noma ngabe ise-Iraq noma kwenye indawo. Ivoti lakhe lokuhlasela i-Iraq eminyakeni eyi-12 edlule ukuphela kwento esenze sabona uHillary Clinton eWhite House. Abantu abafuni ukuvotela umuntu ovotele lokho. Futhi, ake sikutshele lokhu kusenesikhathi kubangane bethu abathandekayo eKomidini likaNobel: omunye umklomelo wokuthula ngeke usize izinto. I-United States ayidingi omunye umklomelo wokuthula womenzi wempi, idinga lokho uBruce kanye nabaningi benu ekade nisebenzela phezu kwayo lapha: inhlangano ethandwayo yokuqedwa kwempi!
Idlanzana lezishoshovu zokuthula seliqale umzamo omusha obizwa World Beyond War ku-http://WorldBeyondWar.org okuhloswe ngayo ukuletha abantu abaningi ekulweleni ukuthula. Abantu nezinhlangano okungenani emazweni angama-58 kuze kube manje basayine iSimemezelo Sokuthula ku-WorldBeyondWar.org. Ithemba lethu ukuthi, ngokuletha abantu abaningi namaqembu enhlanganweni, singaqinisa futhi sandise, kunokuba siqhudelane nezinhlangano zokuthula ezikhona. Sithemba ukuthi singakwazi ukusekela umsebenzi wamaqembu afana ne-Movement for the Abolition of War, nokuthi singakwazi, njengamaqembu nabantu ngabanye, ukusebenza emhlabeni jikelele.
Iwebhusayithi eku-WorldBeyondWar.org ihloselwe ukuhlinzeka ngamathuluzi okufundisa: amavidiyo, amamephu, imibiko, amaphuzu okukhuluma. Senza icala ngokumelene nombono wokuthi impi iyasivikela - umbono odabukisayo, njengoba izizwe ezibandakanyeka empini enkulu zibhekana nenzondo enkulu ngenxa yalokho. Ucwaningo olwenziwe ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka lwabantu emazweni angama-65 luthole i-US ihamba phambili njengoba isizwe sibheka usongo olukhulu lokuthula emhlabeni. Omakadebona baseMelika bayazibulala ngamanani aqoshiwe, ngokwengxenye phezu kwalokho abakwenzile e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan. Izimpi zethu zobuntu ziyimbangela ehamba phambili yokuhlupheka nokufa kwesintu. Futhi ngakho siyawuphikisa umbono wokuthi impi ingazuzisa abantu lapho iliwa khona.
Siphinde sibeke izimpikiswano zokuthi impi inokuziphatha okubi okujulile, ingumzala wokuqala futhi imbangela evamile, hhayi okunye, ukuqothulwa kohlanga; leyo mpi ibhubhisa indawo yethu yemvelo, leyo mpi iqeda inkululeko yethu yomphakathi, nokuthi nje ukudlulisa okuncane kwalokho esikuchitha empini kokuthile okuwusizo kungasenza sithandeke kunokuba sesatshwe emhlabeni wonke. Iphesenti elilodwa nengxenye lalokho izwe elikuchitha empini lingasetshenziselwa ukuqeda indlala emhlabeni. Impi ibulale izigidi ezingu-200 kule minyaka eyikhulu edlule, kodwa okuhle obekungenziwa ngezinsiza ezilahlwe empini kubudlula kude ububi obungagwenywa ngokuqeda impi. Okokuqala, uma siqondisa kabusha ngokushesha izinsiza zempi singaba nesibhamu esingcono kakhulu sokwenza okuthile ukuvikela isimo sezulu seplanethi. Ukuthi umqondo wethu "wokuzivikela" awubandakanyi lokho okubonisa ukuthi sesihambe ibanga elingakanani ekwamukeleni ukungagwemeki kwalokho okuyisikhungo sempi esigwemeka ngokuphelele nesinyantisayo nesingenakuvikeleka ngokuphelele.
Njengoba sesamukele impi, sizama izimpi ezishibhile, izimpi ezingcono, izimpi ezihlangene nohlangothi olulodwa, futhi yini esiyitholayo? Sithola izexwayiso ezivela kubasekeli bempi abahloniphekile zokuthi sesiqala ukwenza impi ibe yinjwayelo futhi sibeke engcupheni impi eqhubekayo.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi lokhu kuyindaba yemiphumela ebingahlosiwe ukuncintisana nalabo abafuna iqiniso ngendalo kaNkulunkulu futhi bagcina ngomfana osemalini lapha, uCharles Darwin. Ngakolunye uhlangothi akuhlosiwe nhlobo. Uprofesa waseStanford University usanda kukhipha incwadi ephikisana ngokuthi impi isilungele kangangokuthi kufanele siqhubeke njalo. Lolo hlobo lwezifundo zokucabanga ludlula emithanjeni yezemfundo yethu exhaswa ngezempi kanye nobushoshovu.
Kepha lolo hlobo lokucabanga luya ngokuya lungathandeki, futhi lesi kungaba yisikhathi sokukudalula, ukukugxeka, nokufakazela esenzweni umuzwa okhulayo othandwayo wokulwa nempi, kanye nokuqaphela esiye sakhubeka kukho ukuthi izimpi ezithile zingavinjelwa. , futhi uma izimpi ezithile zingavinjelwa khona-ke ngayinye yazo ingavinjelwa. Ngibheke ngabomvu ukusebenza kulowo msebenzi, ngokuphuthuma okufunayo, kanye nani nonke.
