"Abantu kanye nabantu banelungelo lokuthula."
Ekuqaleni kwakuyizwi. KULUNGILE. Lokhu kungukuqala, futhi lawa angamazwi, kodwa awazange afike okwamanje - okungenani hhayi ngokomthetho, ngokugcwele amandla okusho.
Kungumsebenzi wethu, hhayi okaNkulunkulu, ukwakha indaba entsha yokuthi singobani, nezigidi - izigidigidi zabantu zifisa sengathi singakwenza kanjalo. Inkinga yukuthi isimo sethu esibi kunazo zonke sihleleke kangcono kunakho konke okusemandleni.
Amagama ahlanganisa i-Article 1 yesimemezelo sokuqokwa kuka-UN ngokuthula. Yiziphi izixwayiso kimi ukuthi zibalulekile ukuthi ziphikisana, ukuthi "kukhona ukungabi nokuvumelana" phakathi kwamazwe alungu, ngokusho kukaMongameli we Umkhandlu Wamalungelo Abantu, "Mayelana nombono welungelo lokuthula njengelungelo ngokwalo."
UDavid Adams, owayengumchwepheshe wezinhlelo eziphezulu ze-UNESCO, uchaza ukuphikisana ngesibhamu esincane ebhukwini lakhe le-2009, Ukuthula Kwezwe NgoHholo Lomuzi:
"Emhlanganweni weZizwe Ezihlangene e-1999, kwakukhona umzuzwana ophawulekayo lapho isiko lokuqeda ukuthula esilungisile ku-UNESCO sasihlolwe ngesikhathi sokungakahleleki. Uhlaka lokuqala lwalukhulume 'ilungelo lomuntu lokuthula.' Ngokusho kwamanothi athathwa umbonisi we-UNESCO, "isithunywa se-United States sithi ukuthula akufanele kuphakanyiswe esigabeni sokufaneleka kwesintu, ngaphandle kwalokho kuyoba nzima kakhulu ukuqala impi." Umbukeli wamangala kangangokuthi wabuza umthunywa we-US ukuba aphinde amazwi akhe. Uthi, 'Yebo, ukuthula akufanele kuphakanyiswe esigabeni sokufaneleka kwesintu, kungenjalo kuyoba nzima kakhulu ukuqala impi.' "
Futhi iqiniso eliphawulekayo livela, akukona ukuhlonipha ukukhuluma noma ukukhuluma ngokuvumelana nesimo sebhizinisi kazwelonke: Ngandlela-thile, impi ilawula. Ukhetho luza futhi luhambe, ngisho nezitha zethu ziza futhi zihambe, kodwa impi iyala. Leli qiniso alikho ngaphansi kwengxabano noma, Nkosi enhle, ukukhukhumeza ngentando yeningi. Futhi ayikho isidingo sokubaluleka kwempi - noma ukuguqulwa kwayo okungapheli, okuqhubekayo-okuye kwacabangela ukumangala okwangasese kumabonakude. Asizibuze, esimweni sikazwelonke: Kusho ukuthini uma ukuhlala ngokuthula kwakungelungelo lomuntu?
Indaba yangempela yokuphakama kwe-ISIS ibonisa ukuthi ukungenelela kwe-US e-Iraq naseSiriya kwakuyinhloko ekwakheni ukuphikisana lapho leli qembu likhule khona, "kubhala uSteve Rendall. Okungeziwe! ("Umlutha Wokungenelela"). "Kodwa leyo ndaba ayitsheliwe emithonjeni yezinkampani zase-US. . . . Ukwaziswa okunolwazi kochwepheshe bangempela esifundeni, abangahambisani ne-Washington elites, bangase babeke isikhalazo ekusekelweni komphakathi empini, ukusekelwa ngokuyinhloko ngamapundits empi kanye nabathengisi, kanye ne-ambulensi ejwayele ukuhlala emasotini - ngokuvamile ngezibopho ezakhiweni zempi / zezimboni.
"Ngama-pundits akhathazekile ngokubiza ukuhlaselwa okwengeziwe," kusho uRendall, "akekho ozobona ukuthi izimpi zase-US ziye zaphazamisa abantu emazweni ahlosiwe - kusukela e-Afghanistan kuya e-Iraq kuya eLibya."
Yisimiso esimangalisayo esingenangqondo kusukela ekubukeni kokuzwelana nokubumbana kweplanethi, futhi ngokuqinisekile kuyoqedwa ngenkululeko yentando yeningi, lapho singobani nokuthi siphila njalo etafuleni. Kodwa akunjalo ukuthi izizwe zisebenza kanjani.
"Umbuso umelela ubudlova ngendlela efakwe ngokucophelela nokuhlelekile," kusho uGandhi, njengoba kucashunwa yi-Adams. "Umuntu unomphefumulo, kodwa njengoba uMbuso ungumshini ongenasiphelo, awukwazi neze ukunqunywa kubudlova obhekene nawo khona."
Futhi labo abakhuluma ngombuso wesizwe bafaka umlutha wobudlova nokwesaba, futhi njalo babone izinsongo ezidinga ukusabela okunamandla, neze-ke, ukucabanga ukuthi ukushaywa amandla okubangela ukuthi labo abasendleleni yabo noma isikhathi eside ( futhi ngokuvamile okwanele isikhathi esifushane) i-blowback izoletha.
Ngakho-ke, njengoRendall amanothi, uSen. Lindsey Graham (RS.C.) utshele iFox News ukuthi "uma i-ISIS ingazange imiswe ngempi egcwele eSiriya, sonke sasizofa: 'Lo mongameli udinga ukuphakama lesi senzakalo ngaphambi kokuba sonke sibulawe lapha ekhaya. '"
"Phakamisa lesi senzakalo" indlela esixoxa ngayo ngokuletha ubudlova obuningi kubantu abangenangqondo, abangenasici esingasoze sazi ngesintu sabo esiphelele, ngaphandle kwesithombe esithile esithile sokuhlupheka kwabo okubonisa ukulwa kwempi.
Ngokuphathelene nokuqoqwa kwezitha, uNobhala wezokuVikela u-Chuck Hagel usanda kumemezela ukuthi amasosha aqale ukulungiselela ukuvikela i-United States ngokumelene. . . ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu.
Kate Aronoff, ebhala ku-Waging Nonviolence, ubhala ukungaqondakali okungajwayelekile kwalokhu ngenxa yokuthi i-Pentagon yiyona engcolile kakhulu emhlabeni. Egameni lokuzivikela kazwelonke, akukho mthethonqubo wezemvelo obaluleke kakhulu kangangokuthi awukwazi ukungazinaki ngokuphelele futhi akukho sici seMhlaba esicacile kangangokuthi asikwazi ukubhekwa kuze kube phakade.
Kodwa yilokho esikwenzayo, uma nje u-Israyeli echaza imingcele yombono wethu. Siya empini ngokumelene nazo zonke izinkinga esizibhekana nazo, kusukela ebuphekula kuya ezidakamizweni ukuya emdlalweni. Futhi yonke impi idala umonakalo wempahla kanye nezitha ezintsha.
Ukuqala kweshintsho kungase kube ukuvuma ukuthi ukuthula kuyilungelo lomuntu. Ilunga le-UN lithi - okungenani elikhulu, elinamabutho amile namasheya ezinhlamvu zezikhali zenuzi. Kodwa ungayethemba kanjani isimemezelo esinjalo uma bengenjalo?
