Ukuvuma kukaMongameli Bush ngasekupheleni kuka-Okthobha ukuba uthelekiso phakathi kohlaselo lweRamadan eIraq kunye neTet ekhubekisayo eVietnam "inokuba lungile" yazisa kwingxoxo-mpikiswano yase-Iraq-Vietnam.
Le ngxoxo-mpikiswano icebisa, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ukuba iidemokhrasi zidla ngokuphulukana neemfazwe kwiintshukumo ezimiselwe kakuhle zokuchasa ngenxa yokuba iidemokhrasi ziyayeka ukusetyenziswa kobundlobongela obungathintelwanga.

Ukuxoxa ukuba ukuba iidemokhrasi kuphela ebezinokusebenzisa ubundlobongela obengeziweyo ngebeziphelise konke ukuxhathisa kwiprojekthi yazo yolawulo kunye nokuxhaphaza abanye abantu ngumbono wokuzimela geqe.
Lo mbono kunye nezinye iimbono ezifana nayo, ezazisa ingxoxo-mpikiswano yase-Iraq-Vietnam, ayenzi kancinci ukugxotha ukuzikhohlisa. Kungenxa yokuba mhlawumbi zisekwe kuhlalutyo oluphosakeleyo okanye zijolise ekufaniseni okungaphezulu kweqhinga okanye iyantlukwano ngelixa benikela ingqalelo encinci okanye benganikeli ngqalelo kwizinto eziyinyani zaseVietnam naseIraq.

Umzekelo, eyona nto icacileyo yokufana phakathi kweVietnam kunye ne-Iraq azikho kwaphela kwingxoxo. Eyokuqala kwezi zifani zikhoyo zingekhoyo kukuba zombini ezi mfazwe zaqalwa ngesiseko sobuxoki obucacileyo.

Sekukudala kwaziwa, kwaye kwaqinisekiswa ngezityhilelo ngoNovemba wonyaka ophelileyo ukuba i-Arhente yoKhuseleko lweSizwe “ngolwazi lobuxoki lobuntlola ukwenzela ukuba kubonakale ngathi iNorth Vietnam ihlasele abatshabalalisi base-US eTonkin Gulf.†(Idemokhrasi Ngoku , Novemba 21, 2005)

Ubuqhetseba busetyenziswe nguMongameli uJohnson ukuyalela ukuhlaselwa kweNorth Vietnam kunye nokufumana iCongress ukuba idlule i-1964 Gulf of Tonkin Resolution eyanika uJohnson igunya elisemthethweni lokunyusa imfazwe eVietnam.

OoVimba beSizwe bakhuphe amaxwebhu, ngoNovemba ka-2005, aqinisekisa ukuba owayesakuba nguMongameli uNixon wazimisela ngabom ukukhohlisa uluntu lwaseMelika ngesigqibo sakhe “sokuhlasela ngasese” iKhambodiya ngo-1970.

Kwimfazwe yase-Iraq, ikwaziwa kangangexesha elithile ngoku ukuba ulawulo lukaBush lwagqwetha ubukrelekrele ukuze lulahlekise uluntu lwaseMelika ukuba luxhase imfazwe yalo ecwangcisiweyo yokulwa ne-Iraq.

Oku kutsha nje kuqinisekisiwe yenye ingxelo yePhaneli yeSenethi ekhutshwe ngomhla wesi-8 kuSeptemba walo nyaka. Ingxelo yaqukumbela ngelithi "izinto ezifunyenweyo emva kwemfazwe aziyixhasi ingxelo yoluntu yezobuntlola ka-2002 yokuba i-Iraq yayiphinda iqulunqe inkqubo yayo yenyukliya, inezixhobo zebhayoloji okanye ikhe yaphuhlisa izixhobo eziphathwayo zokuvelisa iiarhente zemfazwe yebhayoloji."

I-Democratic Senator uCarl Levin uthe le ngxelo 'yisimangalo esibuhlungu solawulo lukaBush-Cheney olungagungqiyo, olulahlekisayo kunye neenzame zokukhohlisa' ukudibanisa uSaddam Hussein kwi-al-Qaida. (NYT, Septemba 8, 06).

Okwesibini ukufana okucacileyo phakathi kweVietnam kunye ne-Iraq kuhlala kwimigca eqhelekileyo yohlengahlengiso olucelwe ukuthethelela imfazwe kuzo zombini iimeko.

Kuzo zombini ezi meko ingqiqo yayilibango elingaboniyo lokuba ukuba imfazwe ayizange iziswe kwimimandla yotshaba, ekugqibeleni kuya kufuneka ilwe kumhlaba waseMelika. Ukuba omnye wamahlakani aseMelika-nokuba ubuqhophololo nobugebenga kangakanani- bavunyelwe ukuba bawe, onke amanye amahlakani eMelika angawela kwisiphumo esifana ne-domino.

Umongameli uJohnson uthe ngeminyaka yoo-1960 malunga nesizathu sokuba iMelika ilwe eVietnam kude kangaka nekhaya, into eya kuthi, ukuba inokoyisa ngokulungileyo, bona, oko kuthetha ukuba inyambalala yabantu abahluphekayo kwihlabathi liphela, beza kuthabatha into. si.
Unobhala wezoKhuselo uDonald Ramsfeld ngo-Agasti walo nyaka wasebenzisa ingqiqo efanayo xa waxelela iKomiti yeSenethi yeeNkonzo ezixhobileyo "Ukuba sishiye i-Iraq ngaphambi kwexesha, utshaba luya kusixelela ukuba siyishiye i-Afghanistan kwaye sirhoxe kuMbindi Mpuma. Kwaye ukuba sithe sawushiya uMbindi Mpuma, baya kusiyalela thina nabo bonke abo bangabelaniyo ngeengcamango zabo zokulwa ukuba bashiye oko bakubiza ngokuba yimihlaba yamaSilamsi esuka eSpeyin ukuya kwiiPhilippines. uya kunyanzelwa “ukwenza iqonga elikufutshane nekhaya.â€

 Okwesithathu, elona nqaku lihlala lingekho kwingxoxo-mpikiswano yase-Iraq-Vietnam, yinyani elula abantu abachasa ngayo abo bafuna ukuzithoba, ukuhlala, nokubalawula. Kwakumele ukuba kucace kuma impiriyali anamhlanje ukuba, njengoko uMongameli uWilson wayalela amagunya asebukhosini eMfazwe Yehlabathi I, abantu banokulawulwa kuphela ngemvume yabo.

Ingxoxo-mpikiswano yase-Iraq-Vietnam icebisa ukuba imvukelo yase-Iraq ngokusisiseko yimfazwe yamakhaya yamahlelo engaphenjelelwa kukuchaswa kwabahlali. Esi sigqibo sigwenxa sikwaqiniswa ngamajelo eendaba equmrhu.

Ukanti, izibakala zibonisa okwahlukileyo koko. Ngokomzekelo, kwisifundo sakhe sokudubula kokuzibulala ukususela ngo-1980 ukuya kutsho ngo-2003, uRobert Pape wagqiba kwelokuba phantse lonke uhlaselo lokuzibulala ngelo xesha, kuquka nolwaseIraq, lwaluphenjelelwa ngokuyintloko bubuzwe yaye lwenziwa nxamnye nabahlali okanye abo babaxhasayo. (Iirekhodi zeJeffry kwiiParameters, eBusika 2005-06)

Ngapha koko, uhlalutyo lomkhosi wase-US lweebhombu ze-1,666 ezaqhuma ngoJulayi 2006, lubonisa ukuba iipesenti ezingama-70 zazijoliswe ngokuchasene nemikhosi ekhokelwa yiMelika, ngokutsho kwesithethi somkhosi womkhosi eBaghdad. Amashumi amabini eepesenti ajoliswe ngokuchasene nemikhosi yokhuseleko yase-Iraqi, kunye neepesenti ezili-10 zabantu ababetha abantu. (NYT, Agasti 17.06)

Ngaloo ndlela zombini kwinqanaba lokwenza umgaqo-nkqubo kunye nakwinqanaba lokuhlalutya umgaqo-nkqubo, ukuzibona ulilungisa kunye nokuzikhohlisa kuphazamisa uvavanyo oluyinyani lwezizathu zokungaphumeleli kweedemokhrasi ukuthobisa iintshukumo zokuchasana ezimiselwe kakuhle nezixhasiweyo. Oku ke kuthintela ukuxabisa okuyinyaniso kokuphuthileyo kokuzama ngenkani ukuthobela, ukulawula nokuxhaphaza abantu.

Okokugqibela, ukuqondwa kobuthathaka beenkqubo zedemokhrasi kunye nokulula apho amagosa anyuliweyo anokubakhohlisa ngayo abantu bawo, aguqule ubutyebi bezinto eziyimfuneko ezichazwe kancinci, kunye nemvume yobunjineli yeemfazwe ezingeyomfuneko nezingekho sikweni, kufuneka ngokukhawuleza ukuba idemokhrasi iza kuhlangulwa kuyo. abaxhaphazi kunye nokuziphatha kwezizwe ngezizwe okuphucukileyo kukhuselwe kwabo bawaphulayo. Olu luxanduva lommi.
