Ngokukhazimulayo I-Ed-Ed eshicilelwe ku New York Times, u-Trita Parsi we-Quincy Institute uchaze ukuthi i-China, ngosizo oluvela e-Iraq, yakwazi kanjani ukulamula nokuxazulula ingxabano egxilile phakathi kwe-Iran ne-Saudi Arabia, kuyilapho i-United States yayingekho esimweni sokwenza lokho ngemva kokuchema nombuso wase-Saudi ngokumelene nawo. Iran amashumi eminyaka.

Isihloko sendatshana kaParsi, “I-US Ayiyena Umenzi Wokuthula Obalulekile,” ibhekisela kowayenguNobhala Wezwe uMadeleine Albright esebenzisa igama elithi “isizwe esibalulekile” ukuchaza indima yase-US ezweni langemva kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi. Okuxakayo ekusebenziseni kukaParsi igama lika-Albright ukuthi wayevame ukulisebenzisa ukuze abhekisele ekwenzeni impi yase-US, hhayi ukudala ukuthula.

Ngo-1998, u-Albright wavakashela eMpumalanga Ephakathi kwase kulandela i-United States ukuyogqugquzela usongo lukaMongameli Clinton lokuqhumisa ibhomu e-Iraq. Ngemva kokwehluleka ukuthola ukusekelwa eMpumalanga Ephakathi, waphumelela Wamelana ngokuzibuza imibuzo ebucayi ngesikhathi somcimbi wethelevishini e-Ohio State University, futhi wavela ku- Today Show ngakusasa ekuseni ukuze aphendule ukuphikiswa komphakathi endaweni elawulwa kakhulu.

Albright bathi, “..uma kufanele sisebenzise amandla, kungenxa yokuthi singaseMelika; thina singa kubalulekile isizwe. Sima siphakeme futhi sibona kude kunamanye amazwe esikhathini esizayo, futhi sibona lapha ingozi kithi sonke. Ngiyazi ukuthi amadoda nabesifazane baseMelika abagqoke umfaniswano bahlale bekulungele ukudela inkululeko, intando yeningi kanye nendlela yokuphila yaseMelika.”

Ukulungela kuka-Albright ukuthatha imihlatshelo yamasosha aseMelika unikezwe wayesevele esemfake enkingeni lapho ebuza uJenene Colin Powell, "Kusiza ngani ukuba naleli butho elihle kakhulu ohlale ukhuluma ngalo uma singakwazi ukulisebenzisa?" U-Powell wabhala encwadini yakhe yesikhumbuzo, "Ngangicabanga ukuthi ngizoba ne-aneurysm."

Kodwa uPowell ngokwakhe kamuva wavuma kuma-neocons, noma “abahlanyayo” njengoba ebabizile ngasese, futhi efunda amanga abawaqambile ukuzama ukuthethelela ukuhlasela ngokungemthetho kwe-Iraq eMkhandlwini Wezokuphepha we-UN ngoFebhuwari 2003.

Eminyakeni engu-25 edlule, abaphathi bawo womabili amaqembu baye bavumela "izihlanya" ngaso sonke isikhathi. Inkulumo ehlukile ka-Albright kanye ne-neocons, manje esejwayelekile kuyo yonke imikhakha yezombangazwe yase-US, iholela i-United States ezingxabanweni emhlabeni wonke, ngendlela engaguquki, ye-Manichean echaza uhlangothi olusekelayo njengohlangothi lokuhle nolunye uhlangothi njengo. okubi, ukuvala noma yiliphi ithuba lokuthi i-United States kamuva ingadlala indima yomlamuleli ongakhethi noma othembekile.

Namuhla, lokhu kuyiqiniso empini yaseYemen, lapho i-US yakhetha ukujoyina umfelandawonye oholwa yiSaudi owenze ubugebengu bempi obuhlelekile, esikhundleni sokungathathi hlangothi futhi ulondoloze ukwethembeka kwayo njengomlamuleli ongase abe khona. Kusebenza futhi, okudume kakhulu, eshekeni elingenalutho lase-US lonya olungapheli lwama-Israel ngokumelene namaPalestine, okuphazamisa imizamo yabo yokulamula.

E-China, nokho, inqubomgomo yayo yokungathathi hlangothi iyona kanye eyenze yakwazi ukulamula isivumelwano sokuthula phakathi kwe-Iran neSaudi Arabia, futhi okufanayo kuyasebenza nasekuthuleni okuyimpumelelo kwe-African Union. izingxoxo e-Ethiopia, kanye naseTurkey ethembisayo ukuxoxisana phakathi kweRussia ne-Ukraine, okungenzeka ukuthi yaqeda ukubulawa kwabantu e-Ukraine ezinyangeni zayo ezimbili zokuqala kodwa ukuzimisela kweMelika neBrithani ukuqhubeka nokuzama ukucindezela nokwenza buthaka iRussia.

Kepha ukungathathi hlangothi sekuphenduke inhlamba kubenzi benqubomgomo baseMelika. Ukwesabisa kukaGeorge W. Bush, "Kuphakathi kokuthi unathi noma umelana nathi," sekuphenduke umcabango oqinile, uma ungashiwongo, wenqubomgomo yezangaphandle yase-US yekhulu lama-21.

Ukusabela komphakathi waseMelika ekuhlukaneni kwengqondo phakathi kokucabanga kwethu okungalungile ngomhlaba kanye nomhlaba wangempela abalokhu bengqubuzana nawo kube ukuphendukela ngaphakathi futhi bamukele inkolelo yokukhetha umuntu ngamunye. Lokhu kungasukela ekungahlangani ngokomoya kweNkathi Entsha kuye esimweni sengqondo se-chauvinistic America First. Noma ngabe iluphi uhlobo oluthatha komunye nomunye wethu, kusivumela ukuthi sizikhohlise ngokuthi ukuduma kwamabhomu, ikakhulukazi American eyodwa, akuyona inkinga yethu.

Imithombo yezindaba yase-US iqinisekise futhi yandisa ukungazi kwethu kakhulu ukunciphisa ukusakazwa kwezindaba zakwamanye amazwe kanye nokuguqula izindaba ze-TV zibe ikamelo le-echo eliqhutshwa inzuzo elinabantu abahlakaniphile abasezitudiyo ababonakala bazi okuncane kakhulu ngomhlaba kunathi sonke.

Iningi losopolitiki base-US manje likhuphuka ngo ukufumbathisa okusemthethweni isuka kweyasekhaya iye kwelinye iye kwezombusazwe kazwelonke, futhi ufike eWashington ungazi lutho ngenqubomgomo yangaphandle. Lokhu kubashiya besengozini njengomphakathi kuma-neocon cliches afana nabayishumi noma abayishumi nambili abagcwele izizathu ezingacacile zika-Albright zokuqhumisa amabhomu e-Iraq: inkululeko, intando yeningi, indlela yokuphila yaseMelika, ukuma ubude, ingozi kithi sonke, siyiMelika, sibalulekile. isizwe, ukuzidela, amadoda nabesifazane baseMelika begqoke umfaniswano, futhi "kufanele sisebenzise amandla."

Ebhekene nodonga oluqinile kangaka lwe-nationalistic drivel, amaRiphabhulikhi kanye namaDemocrats ngokufanayo ashiye inqubomgomo yezangaphandle iqinile ezandleni ezinolwazi kodwa ezibulalayo zama-neocons, ezilethe umhlaba kuphela isiphithiphithi nodlame iminyaka engama-25.

Wonke amalungu eCongress ngaphandle kwamalungu anenqubekela phambili noma alwela inkululeko ahambisana nezinqubomgomo ezingqubuzana nomhlaba wangempela kangangokuthi azibeka engcupheni yokuwucekela phansi, kungaba ngezimpi ezilokhu zibhebhetheka noma ngokungazibulali enkingeni yesimo sezulu kanye nokunye okukhona emhlabeni wangempela. izinkinga okumele sibambisane namanye amazwe ukuzixazulula uma sizosinda.

Akumangalisi ukuthi abantu baseMelika bacabanga ukuthi izinkinga zomhlaba azixazululeki nokuthi ukuthula ngeke kufinyeleleke, ngoba izwe lethu lisebenzise kabi isikhathi salo sokubusa umhlaba wonke ukuze sikholwe ukuthi kunjalo. Kepha lezi zinqubomgomo ziyizinketho, futhi kukhona ezinye izindlela, njengoba iChina namanye amazwe ekhombisa ngokumangazayo. UMengameli uLula da Silva waseBrazil uhlongoza ukwakha “iklabhu yokuthula” wezizwe ezenza ukuthula ukuze zibe umlamuleli wokuqedwa kwempi yase-Ukraine, futhi lokhu kunikeza ithemba elisha lokuthula.

Ngesikhathi ekhankasela ukhetho kanye nonyaka wakhe wokuqala ehhovisi, uMongameli Biden ephindelela ethembisiwe ukungenisa inkathi entsha ye-American diplomacy, ngemva kwamashumi eminyaka empi nokuqopha ukusetshenziswa kwemali kwezempi. U-Zach Vertin, manje ongumeluleki omkhulu weNxusa le-UN uLinda Thomas-Greenfield, wabhala ngo-2020 ukuthi umzamo kaBiden “wokwakha kabusha uMnyango Wezwe Owabhidlika” kufanele uhlanganise nokusungula “uphiko lokusekela ukulamula… olunabasebenzi abangochwepheshe abagunyazwe wukuqinisekisa ukuthi osopolitiki bethu banamathuluzi abawadingayo ukuze baphumelele ukudala ukuthula.”

Impendulo encane kaBiden kulolu cingo oluvela ku-Vertin nabanye ekugcineni yagcina evuliwe ngoMashi 2022, ngemuva kokuchitha imizamo yaseRussia yobunxusa futhi iRussia yahlasela i-Ukraine. Uphiko Olusha Lokusekela Izingxoxo Zomnyango Wombuso luqukethe abasebenzi abathathu abasebancane abahlukaniswe izingxenye ezimbili ze-Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations. Leli izinga lokuzibophezela kwethokheni ye-Biden ekwenzeni ukuthula, njengoba umnyango wesibaya uzulazula emoyeni kanye nezine. abagibeli bamahhashi ye-apocalypse - Impi, Indlala, Ukunqotshwa kanye Nokufa - kugijima emhlabeni wonke.

Njengoba uZach Vertin abhala, “Kuvame ukucatshangwa ukuthi ukulamula nokuxoxisana kungamakhono atholakala kalula kunoma ngubani obambe iqhaza kwezepolitiki noma kwezokusebenzelana, ikakhulukazi osomaqhinga abangomakadebona kanye nabaqokwe kuhulumeni aphezulu. Kodwa akunjalo: Ukulamula kochwepheshe kuwumsebenzi wezohwebo okhethekile, ovame ukuba nobuchwepheshe obuphakeme ngokwawo.”

Ukubhujiswa okukhulu kwempi nakho kukhethekile futhi kubuchwepheshe, futhi i-United States manje itshala imali eduze ne- izigidigidi zamadola ngonyaka kuwo. Ukuqokwa kwabasebenzi abathathu boMnyango WezoMbuso abancane ukuthi bazame ukudala ukuthula ezweni elisongelwa futhi ethuswa umshini wezempi wezwe lakubo wezigidigidi zamadola kuphela kuqinisekisa ukuthi ukuthula akuyona into ehamba phambili kuhulumeni wase-US.

By aqhathanise, I-European Union idale Ithimba layo Lokusekela Ukulamula ngo-2009 futhi manje inamalungu eqembu angu-20 asebenza namanye amaqembu avela emazweni ngamanye e-EU. UMnyango Wezombangazwe Nokwakha Ukuthula we-UN unabasebenzi be 4,500, zasakazwa emhlabeni wonke.

Usizi lwe-diplomacy yaseMelika namuhla ukuthi idiplomacy yempi, hhayi ukuthula. Okuhamba phambili eMnyangweni Wezwe akukhona ukwenza ukuthula, noma ukunqoba izimpi, i-United States ehlulekile ukuzenza kusukela ngo-1945, ngaphandle kokubuyiselwa kwezindawo ezincane ze-neocolonial eGrenada, ePanama naseKuwait. Okuhamba phambili kukho ukuhlukumeza amanye amazwe ukuthi ajoyine imifelandawonye yempi eholwa yi-US futhi athenge izikhali zase-US, ukuthulisa. ibiza ukuthula ezithangamini zamazwe ngamazwe, ukuphoqelela ukusetshenziswa okungekho emthethweni nokubulalayo unswinyo oluphoqayo, kanye nokukhohlisa amanye amazwe ukuba angene umhlatshelo abantu babo ezimpini zommeleli wase-US.

Umphumela uwukuqhubeka nokusabalalisa udlame neziyaluyalu emhlabeni wonke. Uma sifuna ukumisa ababusi bethu ukuthi basimashele impi yenuzi, inhlekelele yesimo sezulu kanye nokuqothulwa kwabantu abaningi, kungcono sisuse izimpumputhe zethu futhi siqale ukugcizelela izinqubomgomo ezibonisa imvelo yethu engcono kakhulu kanye nezithakazelo zethu ezifanayo, esikhundleni sezithakazelo zabaseshi kanye abathengisi bokufa abazuza ngempi.
