Isu Lokuqeda Impi: Ezinye Izinkolelo

Ngu-Kent D. Shifferd

Le yinkinga eyindida kakhulu, futhi izosithatha sonke ukuthuthukisa isu elihambisanayo, nelisebenzekayo. Nayi imibono embalwa ebhodweni kufaka phakathi eminye imicabango mayelana nesikhathi esibekiwe, isimo senhlangano jikelele nemisebenzi emine okufanele iyenze futhi ixhase.

Ukuqeda Impi

Sidinga ukuhlelela isikhathi eside. Uma sithatha isikhathi esifushane kakhulu, ukwehluleka ukuhlangabezana nesikhathi esinqunyiwe kuzolimaza uma kungabulali imbangela. Izindaba ezimnandi ukuthi asiqali kusuka ekuqaleni. Ukunyakaza okungaphezulu kweshumi nambili okujwayela umhlaba kude nempi nokubhekela uhlelo lokuthula bekulokhu kuqhubeka kusukela ekuqaleni kwekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalolunye. (Shifferd, Ukusuka Empini Kuya Ekuthuleni. Bheka futhi nezincwadi ezivela ku-War Prevention Initiative.) Indlela yethu idinga ukwenziwa ngokuphelele futhi ihleleke ngoba ukusekelwa kwempi kubanzi futhi kuhlelekile. Izimpi zenziwa yisiko lonke. Alikho isu elilodwa elibaluleke kakhulu, njengokukhuthaza ukungabi nodlame, elizokwanela.

Umsebenzi wethu, engikholwa ukuthi singawufeza, ukuguqula isiko lonke. Kumele siguqule isimo sombono wesiko lempi, izinkolelo zalo kanye namagugu alo (njengokuthi, "impi iyimvelo, ayinakugwenywa futhi iyasiza," izwe lesizwe lifanelwe ukwethembeka okuphezulu, njll) nezinhlaka zalo zesikhungo. Lezi zinsuku azibandakanyi nje kuphela izakhiwo zezimboni zamasosha kepha ezemfundo (ikakhulukazi i-ROTC), ukwesekwa kwenkolo ngempi, abezindaba, njll. Ukuphela kwempi kuzobandakanya ubudlelwane bethu bonke nemvelo. Lona ngumsebenzi owesabekayo ozoqedelwa abanye kuphela ngemuva kwesikhathi sethu sokuphila. Noma kunjalo, ngikholwa ukuthi singakwazi ukukwenza futhi awukho umsebenzi ohloniphekile esingawenza. Ngakho-ke, sikwenza kanjani?

Sidinga ukukhomba amaphuzu okushintsha emphakathini.

Okokuqala, kudingeka sikhombe futhi sisebenze / nabenzi bezinqumo abangakwazi ukudala izimpi, iqembu eliphakeme lezepolitiki labongameli, ondunankulu, ongqongqoshe, amalungu ephalamende kanye nomashiqela. Sidinga ukwenza okufanayo nabaholi bezinguquko.

Okwesibili, sidinga ukukhomba ukuthi ngubani ongabafaka ingcindezi kanti lokhu kubandakanya abezindaba, abefundisi, abaholi bamabhizinisi kanye nenqwaba yabantu abazogcwala imigwaqo. Singakwenza kangcono lokhu ngezindlela ezimbili, okokuqala ngokwethula umbono ohlukile ngekusasa futhi, okwesibili, ngokugwema ukunganaki. Ngikholwa ukuthi abaholi abaningi (kanye nabantu abaningi) bayayisekela impi ngoba abakaze babe nethuba lokucabanga ngomhlaba ongenayo impi, ukuthi ubukeka kanjani, yiziphi izinzuzo ongaziletha kubo, nokuthi ungazuza kanjani. Sigxilile kakhulu esikweni lethu lempi kangangokuba asikaze sicabange ngaphandle kwalo; samukela indawo yaso singanakile. Ukugxila ezicini ezingezinhle zempi, ukuthi kubi kangakanani, akusizi kakhulu. Abantu abaningi abasekela impi, ngisho nalabo abayibangelayo, bazi kahle kamhlophe ukuthi kubi kangakanani. Abazi nje okunye. Angisho ukuthi kufanele singalokothi sikhombe ukwesaba, kepha kudingeka sigxile kakhulu embonweni wezwe elinobulungiswa futhi elinokuthula. Futhi akudingeki ukuthi siwahloniphe amaqhawe — ukuwabiza ngokuthi “ababulali bezingane,” njll. uphila ngento enkulu kunenzuzo nje yezinto ezibonakalayo, ukudlula ukuzimela futhi abe ngowenani elikhudlwana. Ababaningi babo ababona ukuthi impi iyisiphetho uqobo lwayo, kodwa njengendlela yokuthula nokuphepha — izinjongo ezifanayo esizisebenzelayo. Ngeke size kude kakhulu uma sibalahla besuka ezandleni, ikakhulukazi ngoba baningi kakhulu futhi sidinga bonke abasizi esingabathola.

Okwesithathu, kudingeka sikhombe futhi sisebenzele ukuqinisa izikhungo zokuthula kubandakanya i-UN, izinkantolo zamazwe omhlaba, iminyango yezokuthula, nezinhlangano zokuthula ezingekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni ezinjengeNonviolent Peaceforce nezinkulungwane zezinye izinhlangano zezakhamizi. Lezi zikhungo ziyizindlela zokwakha umhlaba ngaphandle kwempi.

Ngakho-ke inhlangano esiyiphakamisayo / yokuzala yenzani empeleni? Izinto ezine.

Enye, isebenza njenge inhlangano yezambulela yawo wonke amaqembu ezokuthula, ahlinzeke ngendawo ephakathi yokuhlanza imininingwane. Kuyinhlangano yezindaba, iqoqa izindaba zalokho abanye abakwenzayo bese bezisabalalisa ukuze sonke sibone wonke umsebenzi omuhle owenzekayo, ngakho-ke sonke singabona iphethini yohlelo lokuthula olusafufusa. Ixhumanisa imicimbi emhlabeni wonke, ize iqalise eminye yayo. Idonsa zonke izintambo ndawonye ukuze sikwazi ukubona ukuthi kunomkhankaso womhlaba wonke oqhubekayo.

Ezimbili, inikeza izinzuzo ezinhlanganweni ezivele zisensimini, kufaka phakathi imibono, izincwadi kanye (nalokhu kufanele kube nempikiswano!) uxhaso. Lapho kubonakala sengathi imikhankaso eyahlukahlukene yokuthula iba sezingeni lapho sinikeza khona imali yokuyiqhubekisela phambili. (Bheka inothi ngezimali ezingezansi.)

Eyesithathu, inhlangano yokubamba iqhaza, ngokuya ngqo ekuthathweni kwezinqumo nasezikhundleni ezithonya abantu abakhulu: osombusazwe, izinhloko zemithombo yezindaba kanye nabakholisi, izinhloko zamayunivesithi namaDeans of Teacher Education, abefundisi abavelele bazo zonke izinkolo, njll, beletha umbono wethu ohlukile ezingqondweni zabo.

Okwesine, kuyinkampani yobudlelwane bomphakathi, kusakazwa imiyalezo emifushane ngamabhodi amakhulu nezindawo zomsakazo emphakathini jikelele, kwakheka umqondo wokuthi “ukuthula kusemoyeni,” “kuyeza.” Lokhu ngikusho ngecebo eliphelele.

Isitatimende sombono sidinga ukuthi singabhalwa yithi izifundiswa, yize sizonikela ngokuqukethwe kuso. Kepha ikhophi lokugcina lidinga ukubhalwa ngabe izintatheli, noma okungcono, ababhali bezincwadi zezingane. Kalula nje amagama, ingcaca, ngqo.

Njengenhlangano lo mkhankaso uzodinga abaxhasi (abaqeqeshi beNobel Laureates), abasebenzi, ibhodi (lamazwe omhlaba), ihhovisi kanye noxhaso. Kungamodeliswa kahle kwi-Nonviolent Peaceforce, ibhizinisi eliphumelele kakhulu.

[Inothi ngezimali. Isu lamasu amabili lifika engqondweni.

Enye, into elula eyenziwa izinhlangano eziningi-amabhokisi okuqoqa abantu ngabanye futhi abekwe ezindaweni zomphakathi. Umkhankaso we "Pennies For Peace". Ngobusuku ngabunye lapho ukhipha amaphakethe akho, ushintsho lungena esakhiweni futhi uma selugcwele, ubhala isheke.

Okwesibili, siya kwizikhulu ezintsha zezezimali, abacebile abasha abenze inotho enkulu eminyakeni engama-30 edlule. Manje sebethambekele ekusizeni abantu. (Bheka incwadi kaChrystia Freeland, Plutocrats). Kuzofanele sithole ukuthi singakuthola kanjani ukufinyelela, kepha kukhona ingcebo enkulu lapho futhi manje bafuna izindlela zokubuyisa. Ngaphandle kwalokho, impi yimbi kumabhizinisi amaningi futhi le nsizwa entsha ithambekele ekuzicabangeni njengezakhamuzi zomhlaba. Angicabangi ukuthi kufanele sibe yinhlangano yobulungu futhi sizame ukuqoqa imali ngaleyo ndlela ngoba izoncintisana nezinhlangano eziningi esifuna ukusebenzisana nazo.]

Ngakho-ke kunemibono embalwa njenge-grist yesigayo. Asiqhubeke sigaye.
