Kungani kufanele impindiselo ibe isu elizenzakalelayo labantu-into esiyithandayo futhi esaba kakhulu ngabamelene nathi? Ukubusa kwamabhomu kuyisilingo esiyicabanga ukuthi sakhulile, kodwa thina? Ama-hounds abezindaba kanye nabathandi bezempi njengeSenators Graham ne-McCain bay egazini, bebeka ukucindezela okukhulu kuMengameli ukuba athole inzalo yesithathu empumalanga yeMpumalanga. Ukuze ugweme ilebula le-wimp, uMnu. Obama kwakudingeka asho lokho akushilo enkulumweni yakhe esizweni ngesasu lakhe ngokumelene ne-ISIS, kodwa lokho akushilo kwakuyinguqulo ezwakalayo yeparadigm yokuphindisela.
Ubuhlungu bokulahlekelwa abazali bakaJim Foley noSteven Sotloff kumele bazizwe bengenakuqonda. Kodwa ubuhlungu babo buhlukile yini ebuhlungu bomhlaba wonke obudlova kanye nempi evezwe ngabazali bezingane ezibulawe isikhathi esingaphansi kwengqondo? -Buhlungu be-Aleppo, ubuhlungu babomama eGaza, ubuhlungu babantu abangenacala eBaghdad abathola ngokwabo ekupheleni kokushaqeka nokwesaba, ubuhlungu bomhlanganyeli bomshado e-Afghanistan bashaywa ngaphansi kwehlohlo elingenangqondo le-drones, ukwesaba kwabantu okudingeka bagxume emibhoshini emibili ukuze bagweme ukushiswa bephila.
Uma sinqabile ukungenelela ekuziphenduleleni kwezimpi, sibona umjikelezo wobudlova ngokweqile, kufaka phakathi nendima yethu kulo-njengamandla ekoloni adala imingcele e-Middle East ekupheleni kweMpi Yezwe I, futhi maduzane nje abahlali abangenabasebenzi abahlala ne-colonial abanezinhloso ezingenangqondo. Sibona i-atomization yama-Hobbesian yezingxabano eziye zafinyelela esifundeni: ukwesekwa kwe-US ne-Iran i-Iraq. I-Iran, i-Iraq, i-Russia ne-Shia amabutho asekela u-Assad. I-US kanye ne-Gulf States zifuna ukuhlanganisa i-Iran futhi ziyivimbele ekuhambeni kwe nyukliya. I-Gulf States, amasosha ase-US naseSunni afuna ukunqoba u-Assad. AmaKurds, i-Iran, i-US kanye ne-Iraq bafuna ukunqoba i-ISIS, njengoba nje namaKurds azuze emiphakathini eyakhiwe yi-ISIS. Ngokuba i-United States, engakaze ibonwe njengeqembu elingathandeki, ukungenelela empini kulokhu kuwubuhlanya.
Asazi okwanele mayelana nezisusa ze-ISIS ukuqinisekisa ukuthi bafuna ukufeza ngezinhloko. Ebusweni balo, izenzo ezinjalo ezinyanyekayo zibonakala sengathi ziyimpendulo eqhubekayo emjikelezweni ongapheli weso ngeso nezinyo ngezinso ezinjenge-9-11 ngokwayo. Umholi we-ISIS wayephathwa kabi ku-Abu Ghraib. I-US ilahle amabhomu kumaSISIS. Futhi kungenzeka ukuthi bacabange ukuthi bangathola inzuzo ngokuthola imali e-US kanye nabalingani bayo-mhlawumbe ukuhlanganisa amaqembu ahlukaniswe ngokumelene nesitha esivamile-thina, uma sikhetha ukuphinda siphinde sithole.
Okuyiqiniso nakakhulu ukuthi lezo zindlela zokucabanga zempindiselo enobudlova zingathatha ukuphila okumangazayo emjikelezweni ongapheli wenzondo nokwesaba, okusivimbela ukuba singacabangi ngaphandle kwebhokisi lokuvimbela ukuphendulwa kwempi. Nakuba sikhathele yimpi esingase sibe nayo, sizizwa sithukwa futhi singenasici-futhi lokho kusenza sicabange ukuthi asikho enye indlela kodwa ukuzama ukuzama ukulwa.
Siyazi kusukela ekuhlangenwe nakho okulukhuni esizophela ekusebenziseni okunye okuningi ukunqoba i-ISIS ngezindlela zamasosha, ukuthatha noma yikuphi ukunqotshwa okuthiwa ukunqotshwa akudala izitha eziningi kunokuba zibhubhise. Sinezinye izindlela. Ukuxolisa emikhankasweni yethu engenamacembe e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan, sicabange ukuthi isamba esithile esingaqondakali cishe elilingana nengxenye yalokho esikuchitha kulezo zimpi kuba yinkampani etholakalayo yokwenza okuthile ngaphandle kwebhokisi lempi. Kule mpahla ehlukile, izikhali zokuthengisa, kunoma yiliphi iqembu, kungaba yi-othomathikhi. Lokho kuthulula kuphela i-petroli emlilweni.
Enye indlela okumele ilandelwe ngayo yi-Global Marshall Plan kaRabbi Michael Lerner (http://spiritualprogressives.org/newsite/?page_id=114), isandulela esilandelayo: "Esikhathini sekhulu le-21, ukuphepha kwethu nokuphila kahle kuncike ekutheni kube kuhle wonke umuntu kule planethi kanye nasempilo yeplanethi ngokwayo. Indlela ebalulekile yokubonisa lokhu okukhathalelayo iwuhlelo lwe-Global Marshall Plan oluzobe lunikezela i-1-2% yomkhiqizo wasekhaya we-Gross Annual Year minyaka yonke eminyakeni engamashumi amabili ezayo ukuqeda ubumpofu basekhaya nasemhlabeni jikelele, ukungabi nakhaya, indlala, imfundo enganele, nokungeneliseki ukunakekelwa kwezempilo kanye nokulimala okwenziwe emvelweni. . . "
Ukupha okunje okuvamile kusiza ekunciphiseni izinhloso ze-ISIS zokuhlasela izinhloso zaseNtshonalanga futhi zihlukanise abashisekeli ngokwakha ubudlelwano neningi labantu abangaluthokozela usizo lwangempela lokusiza. Sekuyisikhathi esidlule ukuthi i-US ilahle ukucabanga kwayo ukuthi ukugcwalisa amabutho ezempi angahluziwe kakhulu kungaphela, kunokuba kuqinise, ubutha besizwe obudiliza lesi sifunda. UGeorge W. Bush ngo-2002: “Ngikhohlise kanye, nginamahloni — ngihlazeka wena. Ngikhohlise — ngeke uphinde ukhohliswe. ” Kungcono sithembe ukuthi akunjalo.
