Isimo esiyinhloko sikaBarack Obama ngesonto eledlule, lapho ezama ukuthengisa impi entsha emphakathini waseMelika ngosuku lokugcina iminyaka engu-13 ye-9 / 11, kwakuzokhuluma ngokukholisayo ngokuhlakanipha nokusebenza komgomo wase-US wangaphandle kule minyaka eyishumi edlule ngenkathi ngesikhathi esisodwa, i-alas, ukuyeka izindaba ezimbi ukuthi azisebenzi.
Ngakho-ke: "Siyabonga ezisebenzini zethu zempi nezokulwa nobuphekula, iMelika inokuphepha."
Buhlungu! UNkulunkulu ubusise ama-drones kanye "nokufeza okufeziwe" kanye nokukhubazeka kwezigidi zokuzalwa nokuzalwa kwe-Iraq e-Fallujah. UNkulunkulu abusise ukuhlushwa. UNkulunkulu abusise i-CIA. Kodwa ukuqagela ngani?
"Namanje siyaqhubeka sibhekene nosongo lobuphekula. Asikwazi ukususa yonke into embi emhlabeni, futhi amaqembu amancane ababulali anamandla okulimaza kakhulu. "
Ngakho-ke amabhomu aphinda futhi, abafana - omunye umkhondo wobubi uye wavela eMpumalanga Ephakathi - futhi ngizithola ngisemkhawulweni wokuthukuthela, ukuphelelwa ithemba, ukuxuba ulimi ukuze ngilwe nokungazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu weMpi uvuliwe i-verge yenye ukunqoba ne-Planet Earth kanye nokuziphendukela kwemvelo kulahlekelwa futhi.
U-Obama waphela isimemezelo sakhe esiphezulu sempi eyengeziwe ngamazwi ama-shills ezempi-zezimboni azame ukuphenduka into engcolile: "Kwangathi uNkulunkulu angabusisa amabutho ethu, futhi kwangathi uNkulunkulu angabusisa i-United States of America."
UNkulunkulu ubusise enye impi?
UTom Engelhardt, ebhala izinsuku ezimbalwa ezedlule ku-TomDispatch, eyibiza ngokuthi "i-Iraq 3.0," ephawula: "Akukho ndawo, ekhaya noma phesheya, ingabe amandla avela e-United States ahumusha emiphumeleni elindelekile, noma okuningi kunoma yini enye ngaphandle kohlobo lwezingxube . . . . Futhi into eyodwa ecacile ngokucacile: zonke izicelo zamandla ezempi aseMelika emhlabeni jikelele kusukela ku-9 / 11 ziye zasiza inqubo yokuhlukanisa, ukubhubhisa izindawo eziphelele.
"Ekhulwini lama-20 leminyaka, isosha lase-US alizange libe yisizwe-noma umakhi wezempi, futhi akatholanga ukunqoba, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kusetshenziswe kanzima kangakanani. Kuye kwaba yilokho okulingana ne-whirlwind ezindabeni zamazwe omhlaba, ngakho-ke, nakuba impi yase-Iraq yakamuva iphuma, into eyodwa ibonakala ilungile: lesi sifunda sizoqhubeka sigxilile futhi sibe sesimo esibi nakakhulu uma sekuphelile. "
Inkulumo ka-Obama iqondiswe esizweni esinengqondo efile. Ukwenza "okuthile" mayelana noMbuso wamaSulumane kusho ukushiya amabhomu kuwo. Ukuqhuma kwamabhomu kungabhubhisi izakhiwo zezombangazwe futhi kubonakala sengathi kusebenza njengesiteleka: i-Squirt of Raid ekukhunjweni kwezimbungulu. Abasoze babulala abantu abangenacala noma benze imiphumela engalindelekile; futhi, ngokusobala, ingabe bavusa ukuphazamiseka okusheshayo, ngendlela okwenzeka ngayo.
Ngempela, izimemezelo zempi zibonakala ziphakamisa abantu phezulu. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi basahlukanisa nobubi izitha zethu ezenzayo. Ukubhekana nokubunzima kokuziphatha komuntu okuhlukumezayo kusho ukubhekana nokucindezela kwethu okushaqisayo kuyo - okubuza kakhulu kunoma yisiphi isombusazwe esise-US e-Beltway. U-Obama akazange aphule ngandlela-thile kusuka ekuqaliseni kwakhe okubonakalayo ekuzameni ukuxhaphaza indawo evikelekile engokomzwelo ephephile yempi kanye nempi.
"Ngisabela kanjani uma ngibona ukuthi kwamanye amazwe aseSulumane kukhona inzondo yamaVieroli eMelika?" UGeorge Bush wabuza ngenkomfa yabezindaba ngenyanga emva kokuhlaselwa kwe-9 / 11 (okushiwo kamuva U-William Blum ku-Anti-Empire yakamuva Umbiko wakhe). "Ngizokutshela ukuthi ngiphendula kanjani: Ngimangale. Ngiyamangala ukuthi kunokungaqondi kahle lokho izwe lethu elikushoyo ukuthi abantu bayasizonda. NginjengamaMelika amaningi, angikwazi ukukukholwa ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi sihle kanjani. "
U-Obama uzama ukukhipha u-acquiescence womphakathi ofanayo nokuhlukunyezwa kwezempi kusukela ku-IS beheadings of izintatheli ezimbili zase-US nomsebenzi wezisebenzi zaseBrithani njengoba uBush enza ku-9 / 11. UBush wayenenzuzo ehlukile yokungazitholi ngokwakhe - kanye nokulahla kwakhe okwakumonakalisa - njengowokuqala kwakhe. Noma kunjalo, i-Iraq 3.0 izoba yinto engokoqobo, yize noma ukuqhuma amabhomu e-Iraq kuzomele kuqiniswe i-IS futhi cishe kuyovula umnyango wesigodi seminyaka eminingi ezayo.
As UDavid Swanson kubalisa kuwebhusayithi World Beyond War, ekhuluma ngentatheli yokuqala NGOKUBULAWA ngesihluku, "uJames Foley akayona isikhangiso sempi."
"Lapho izigameko ze-9 / 11 zisetshenziselwa ukubulala izikhathi ezingenani inani labantu ababulewe ku-9 / 11, ezinye izihlobo zalabo abahlukunyezwayo zabuya emuva," kusho uSnanson. Ukuxhuma kwividiyo lapho uFoley ekhuluma khona ngesihogo nokungahambi kahle kwempi nomculi wefilimu uHaskell Wexler phakathi nemibhikisho ye-NATO eChicago eminyakeni emibili eyedlule, uyanezela: "Manje uJames Foley uphindela emuva ethuneni."
Usimema ukuba sibuke inkulumo kaFoley ngokuthi "ukuxoshwa okudingekayo ngaphambi kokuba abantu babulawe, ukungabi nakancane kokubambisana kwezindaba" nezinye izinto ezingobuhlungu zempi ngokuvamile ezingabonakali ezinkulumweni zikaMongameli.
"Asikwazi ukusula yonke into yokubi emhlabeni. . . "
Angikholwanga ukuthi ngiphila ezweni elisekubekezelelweni okunjalo okulula, okwenziwe ummese. O, ububi obukhulu kakhulu lapho! Uhulumeni wase-US, ngakho konke amandla nokuhlanzeka kwawo, akanakho ukukhetha kodwa ukuwulandela nazo zonke izikhali ku-arsenal. Okushiwo Obama akukhathazi ukusho, nakuba mhlawumbe ngenye indlela engasizi ngalutho, indlela engasizi ngalutho owaziyo, ukuthi ukuhlanganyela emdlalweni wezempi kuhlale kuyisenzo sokunqotshwa. Futhi abaphikisi, ngobudlova babo obuhlukumezana komunye nomunye nomunye umuntu, bahlale behlangothini olufanayo.
