NguDavid Swanson, Ake sizame ngentando yeningi.
Umuntu onengqondo futhi oziphethe kahle angase acabange ngokugasela kwakamuva kwase-US eYemen ngale ndlela. Nansi eyodwa encane isigameko ephuma empini ehlanganisa ngokuyinhloko umkhankaso omkhulu wokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu oye wabulala abangenacala ngezinkulungwane futhi esongela ukubangela indlala yamakhulu ezinkulungwane. Kulesi sigameko esisodwa kwabulawa abantu abangaba ngu-30, abanye abangu-10 kubo okungabesifazane nezingane, omunye wabo engudadewabo oneminyaka engu-8 ubudala womfana waseMelika oneminyaka engu-16 uMongameli Obama ayeke wambulala ngemva nje kokubulala uyise. Ibingekho into Ebaluleke Kakhulu efeziwe, njengokufunda inombolo yocingo yomuntu osolisayo ongumSulumane noma ngabe yini, ukuthi umgebengu ongaziphethe kahle ungazama ukusho ukuthi lesi sigameko silungile. Lokhu kwakuwukubulala abantu abaningi.
Phakathi nalokhu kubulawa kwabantu abaningi, kwabulawa oyedwa waseMelika owayebambe iqhaza kukho.
Isigaba sokuqala esingenhla asinandaba nhlobo nabezindaba zase-US. Isigaba sesibili esingenhla sithakazelisa kakhulu futhi sinothando. Kodwa kunephuzu elihluke kakhulu eligeja le ntshisekelo. Okuningi kokusakazwa kwabezindaba kusikisela ukuthi ukubulawa kwe-One American kwakuyinto embi kakhulu kuDonald Trump. Ngingaphakamisa ukuthi kwakuyinto embi kakhulu kumuntu owabulawa kanye nomndeni wakhe kanye nabathandekayo, kodwa hhayi ngempela into embi kuDonald Trump noma u-Lockheed Martin. Nasi isizathu.
Lapho uVan Jones wabonakala walahlekelwa ingqondo yakhe futhi wamemezela uTrump uhlobo oluthile lobunkulunkulu ngenxa yempatho yakhe Enesizotha yokufa Komuntu Oyedwa Obalulekile, uVan Jones wayelandela isiko elide lokuphatha umhlatshelo ongcwele wezimpilo kuNkulunkulu Wezempi, ukuphakelwa kukaMvelinqangi. amabutho efulegi elingcwele. Izimpilo ezibalulekile kuphela ezingasetshenziswa kulo mkhuba. Izimpilo kuphela ezilahlekile futhi ezibalulekile ezingasetshenziswa ukuthethelela ukuphonsa izimpilo eziningi emva kwazo. UMongameli Polk wakwazi lokhu ngesikhathi ebulala amasosha ase-US eMexico. Kanjalo nalabo abasakaza impi "wakhumbula Maine." Insika ye-Maine isamile e-Naval Academy e-Annapolis njengesikhumbuzo senkonzo eyisisekelo yokuqamba amanga ngabantu abafile ababalulekile, ukuze kususwe zonke izithiyo ekuziphatheni.
Njengoba uRichard Barnet echaza, kumongo weVietnam:
"Ukunikela ngezimpilo zaseMelika kuyisinyathelo esibalulekile esikweni lokuzibophezela. Ngakho uWilliam P. Bundy wagcizelela emaphepheni okusebenza ukubaluleka koku 'kuchitheka igazi laseMelika' hhayi nje ukushaya umphakathi ukuthi weseke impi engeke ithinte imizwa yawo ngenye indlela, kodwa nokucupha uMengameli."[i]
Wayengubani uWilliam P. Bundy? Wayekwi-CIA futhi waba umeluleki woMongameli uKennedy noJohnson. Wayewuhlobo lwe-bureaucrat oluphumelelayo eWashington, DC Eqinisweni wayebhekwa njenge "ijuba" ngezindinganiso zalabo abaphethe, abantu abafana nomfowabo uMcGeorge Bundy, uMeluleki Wezokuphepha Kazwelonke kuKennedy noJohnson, noma uWilliam Bundy.'umkhwe kaDean Acheson, uNobhala Wezwe we-Truman. Abenzi bempi benza abakwenzayo, ngoba abenzi bempi abanolaka kuphela abadlulela phambili futhi bagcine imisebenzi yabo njengabacebisi bezinga eliphezulu kuhulumeni wethu. Nakuba ukumelana nempi kuyindlela enhle yokuqeda umsebenzi wakho, akekho obonakala eke wezwa ngomphathi we-DC noma umfundi wezindaba we-CNN ubekwe eceleni ngenxa yokufudumala ngokweqile. Umeluleki we-Pro-war angase enqatshwe, kodwa uhlale ebhekwa njengehloniphekile futhi ebalulekile - ngisho neziphakamiso zokubulala abantu baseMelika ngokuqondile, njenge Ukusebenza Northwoods or Isikimu sikaDick Cheney se-Iran.
Ukuba nesibopho sokubulala abantu ababalulekile kungabambathisa kanjani umongameli ukuthi abulale inqwaba yabo?
Lokhu akukona mayelana nengqondo. Kufanele uyeke ukucabanga, futhi uqale ukubheka ukuziphatha kwezilaleli zikaVan Jones. Lapho Abantu Ababalulekile sebebulewe, kubaluleka ukubulala isitha esiningi ngisho - noma mhlawumbe ngempela - ngezindlela eziphinde zibulale abaningi Babantu Ababalulekile. Umdlandla wefulegi usuvukile.
Lena akuyona ukuphela kwendlela abezindaba base-US abaphatha ngayo lokhu Kufa Okubalulekile. Abanye abahlaziyi baze baveze nokuthi kwakuyimpilo elahleke ngeze. Hhayi ekubulaweni kwabantu abaningi, kodwa kwaba yize. Kufanele siqaphele, nokho, ukuthi ubuhlanya uVan Jones angena kubo buwumsinga onamandla onomlando omude wokusabeka nokucekela phansi ngemuva kwawo.
