Yini edingekayo ukuze u-Hillary Clinton aziqhelelanise nomkhankaso osanda kwethulwa wokuqhuma kwamabhomu eLibya? Noma ubize inkulumo-mpikiswano kakhongolose ngakho? Noma uphakamise okusobala: ukuthi impi yokwesaba ayisebenzi?
Yebo ngeke kwenzeke. Kodwa iqiniso lokuthi kuzwakala kungenangqondo kakhulu - cishe kufana nombono wabalingiswa bama-movie ephuma esikrinini empilweni yangempela - ikhombisa ukuthi intando yeningi yaseMelika isezingeni likamongameli kangakanani, inkohliso, indlela enganakwa ngayo eqinisweni. Kungumdlalo wezibukeli - ukubambana ngodaka, ake sithi - owethulwa kithi njengokuzijabulisa ngabezindaba ngokulunywa kwemisindo nezinombolo zokuvota.
Imibono yomphakathi ayinakuhambisana kancane nalokho esikwenzayo ngempela njengesizwe, nanjengombuso.
Futhi ikakhulukazi esikwenzayo ukulwa impi. Manje kunanini ngaphambili. Kusukela ngomhlaka-9/11, impi isibe, empeleni, izigunyaza yona, ngenxa yokuGunyazwa Kokusetshenziswa Kwebutho Lezempi, okunikeza iGatsha Eliphezulu igunya lokulwa impi yobushokobezi ngaphandle kwemvume yeCongress. Ngakho, ngokusho kwe- New York Times: “Ngokuxhumanisa isenzo saseLibya nokugunyazwa kwamandla, abaphathi ngeke kudingeke ukuthi bazise iCongress ngokusemthethweni. Lokho kusho ukuthi umkhankaso eLibya ungaqhubeka unomphela, noma kuze kube yilapho abaphathi bephethe ngokuthi ama-airstrikes ayifezile inhloso yawo. "
Noma njengoba Trevor Timm, ebhalela i- Guardian, yakubeka: “Kusesinye futhi isiqephu se-War on Terror Circle of Life, lapho i-US iqhumisa izwe ngamabhomu bese iqhumisa izikhali endaweni, okuholela esiphithiphithini nethuba lezinhlangano zamaphekula, okwathi ngaleso sikhathi. kuholela ekuqhumeni kwamabhomu e-US okwengeziwe. "
Sidala ukwesaba. Silambisa izinhlelo zethu zokuxhumana. Sizibulala kancane. Futhi sibhidliza iplanethi.
Kungani futhi ukuthi lokhu akufanelekile ukukhuluma ngakho okhethweni lukamongameli?
Into iwukuthi, abantu bayayithola. Ngandlela thize, bayabona ukuthi abamelwe iningi labantu ababavotelayo. Bayabona, ngamanani amakhulu, ukuthi isikhathi sesifikile sokuhlenga leli zwe esimweni esikhona esicabanga ukuthi singabanikazi bethu. Leyo yingqikithi yoKhetho lwango-2016, noma yini ezokwenzeka ngoNovemba. Intukuthelo yomphakathi idlule imizamo emikhulu yabezindaba yokunqanda kanye nokunciphisa inkulumo-mpikiswano kazwelonke mayelana nomkhombandlela wezwe.
Emasontweni amabili edlule, ekupheleni kwe-Republican National Convention, Math Taibbi wabhala ku-Rolling Stone: “Abavoti bamaRiphabhulikhi abayizigidi eziyishumi nantathu namakhulu amathathu ezinkulungwane baye badelela intando yeqembu labo futhi benqaba ngokuzwakalayo izintandokazi zangaphakathi zezigidi eziyikhulu zamadola njengo-Jeb Bush ukuze baphinde babambe ukulawula ikusasa labo lezombangazwe. Ukuthi benza ukukhetha okuyihlaya kakhulu emlandweni wentando yeningi empeleni kwakuyindaba yesibili.
“Kube yimpumelelo enkulu ukuthi abavoti bangempela benze lokho abathuthukayo abebengakwazi ukukwenza kuma primaries eDemocratic Alliance. Abavoti beRiphabhulikhi bangene ezigabeni eziningi zemali kanye nokuxhumana kwezepolitiki kanye namaphoyisa ezinkampani zabezindaba, okufana nemingcele yezivimbelo ezungeze i-Q (Quicken Loans Arena), eklanyelwe ukuvimbela i-riffraff ukuthi ibambe iqhaza enqubweni yezepolitiki. "
Ngaphambi kokuthi uDonald Trump abe usozigidigidi ophiko lwesokudla ohlanyayo, ungumguquli we-de facto. Akukhona lokho akumelayo okuyisicelo sakhe kodwa angakumeli: ukulunga kwezepolitiki. Unephutha kwezombusazwe ngokuvezwa okushaqisayo, okungahleliwe, okunikeza abalandeli bakhe abathukuthele, abamhlophe, abacindezelwe amashumi eminyaka inkohliso yokuthi ukuvotela yena kufana nokugasela emigoqweni yamaphoyisa kanye “nokuphinde abambe ukulawula kwabo. ikusasa lezepolitiki."
Eqinisweni, lokho cishe akunjalo. Ukukhetha uTrump akungabazeki ukuthi kuyindlela enhle yokulahleka ngokujulile kunangaphambili.
Kepha ekusungulweni kweDemocratic Alliance, ungcono kune-ISIS.
Isimo esikhona sezempi nezimboni, enkathini yangemva kweVietnam, asisakwazi ukuziphilisa ngokubusa okunegazi phezu kwesitha samanje. Isihogo esingahluziwe seMpi yaseVietnam - impi yokugcina lapho senze khona izibalo zomzimba - cishe yacekela phansi inkolelo yomphakathi ekubulaweni okuxhaswe nguhulumeni. Inkinga enkulu. Impi iyisisekelo sesimo esikhona, kwezomnotho, kwezombusazwe futhi, okungenzeka, ngokomoya. Ngakho-ke ngemva kweVietnam, izimpi zaseMelika kwadingeka zethulwe njengezihlanzekile futhi "zokuhlinzwa" futhi, njengoba kudingekile ngempela: ukuma kokugcina kweNtshonalanga ngokumelene nobubi. Indlela engcono kakhulu yokwenza lokhu bekuwukungakhulumi ngazo kakhulu, futhi ngokuqinisekile hhayi ngemininingwane enyantisayo. Izitha zethu kuphela, amaphekula, ezithola imininingwane egcwele ngonya lwazo.
Indida abhekene nayo kulo nyaka ngabasekeli baka-Hillary abamanqikanqika ukuthi, ekumvoteleni ngenxa yenzondo enkulu (futhi eqondakalayo) ku-Trump, baphinde banikeze, futhi, ukudlula kwamahhala esimweni esikhona sezempi nezimboni. Ukuvota ngendlela enengqondo - kuJill Stein weGreen Party, yithi - kubonakala njengephutha elikhulu: okulingana nevoti likaTrump.
Yebo, KULUNGILE, ngiyakuthola, kodwa angikukholwa. Kuzwakala sengathi uvalelwe esitokisini sejele. Ukuvuma ukuthi ukuvota kuwumsebenzi wokubhuqa, ubambe ikhala, ohlukanisiwe nezindinganiso zangempela - ukuvuma ukuthi ukukhetha okungcono kakhulu esingakuthola ububi obuncane - ukushona kancane kwentando yeningi.
Njengoba ngibona, isixazululo kuphela ukufinyelela ngale kwabazokhethwa. Votela noma ngubani, kodwa qaphela ukuthi umsebenzi wokwakha ikusasa - ikusasa elisekelwe uzwelo, hhayi ubudlova nokubusa - kuwumsebenzi wawo wonke umuntu. Uma umholi ofanele engakasukumi, noma eke wawisa, sukuma wena.
Uma kungekho okunye, funa ukuthi i- umkhankaso kaClinton, nabamele indawo yakho, bakhuluma ngomqondo wempi engapheli kanye nesabelomali sezempi esibi kakhulu, esinamadola ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane. Umnyakazo uyakha; amandla ayakhuphuka. Yibheke. Yijoyine.
