Izinqubomgomo ezingabaliwe kahle zabaphathi base-US eMpumalanga Ephakathi ziqeda ngokushesha ikhono lezwe lokusekela isikhundla salo somhlaba esake sake saphikiswa. Imimoya yoshintsho ivunguza yonke indawo, futhi kuncane ongqondongqondo baseWashington abangakwenza ukukumisa.

Isimangalo esingenhla siya ngokuya singena endaweni yokucabanga okujwayelekile, ngaphandle kwayo yonke imizamo yokuthulisa noma ukwehlisa ukungeniswa kwaso. Inkulumo yakamuva kakhongolose wase-US Republican kanye nosihlalo wekomidi leHouse of international relationship, uHenry Hyde bekuyiyona ndawo okugxilwe kuyo ukuhlaziya kukaMartin Jacques kuThe Guardian. “Amandla ethu anesibopho esikhulu sokunikeza imibono yethu mayelana nomhlaba ungaphumeleli. Kodwa ngokuba izithulu ezimpawu ezibonakala kalula eziyisixwayiso, singase singazinaki izindleko zesikhathi eside eziwumphumela wezenzo zethu futhi sichithe ukuhlehla okufanele kuholele ekuhlolweni kabusha kwezinhloso nezindlela zethu,” kusho uHyde.

Ekuhlaziyeni kwakhe okudabukisayo – echaza imicabango esobala ngamabomu kaHyde— UJacques waphikisa, "Abaphathi bakaBush banecala lesenzo esimangalisayo sokuxhaphaza umbuso esishiye i-US ihlukaniswe kakhulu namazwe ngamazwe kunanini ngaphambili, inwebeka kakhulu ngokwezimali, futhi unecala lokunganaki empumalanga ye-Asia nakwezinye izindawo.”

Okuxakayo ukuthi, ukuhlasela kwe-Iraq namaphutha ayo “ayizinkulungwane zamasu” — njengoba kusanda kuvunywa uNobhala Wezwe u-Condoleezza Rice — kwakuhloselwe ukuqinisa nokuqinisekisa ukubusa komhlaba wonke kwe-US kwangeMpi Yomshoshaphansi. NgokukaJacques, njengoba kucatshangelwe enkulumweni ephawulekayo kaHyde, “Kungase kube inkomba yokwehla kwayo.” Kungaphikiswa futhi ngokuthi i-adventurism yase-US e-Iraq inikeze ithuba elifiselekayo kwamanye amazwe ukuze aqhubekisele phambili izithakazelo zawo zikazwelonke nezesifunda ngaphandle kokwesaba okungapheli kokuphindiselwa kwe-US.

Engxoxweni yakamuva, uprofesa we-MIT uNoam Chomsky, owaziwa ngokugxeka kakhulu inqubomgomo yezangaphandle yase-US e-Indochina, Central kanye naseLatin America, uchaze iqiniso elisha lezepolitiki emhlabeni wonke elakhiwayo njengoba i-US iphikelela ngenkani ukulwa impi elahlekile e-Iraq. . “Okwenzekayo kuyinto entsha ngokuphelele emlandweni we-hemisphere. Kusukela ekunqotshweni kweSpain, amazwe aseLatin America abehlukene kakhulu komunye nomunye futhi aqondiswe emandleni ombuso. Ngokokuqala ngqá, sebeqala ukuhlangana futhi ngezindlela ezimbalwa ezihluke kakhulu.”

Lokho kuhlanganiswa kubonakala, ngokusho kukaChomsky, hhayi kuphela ngokuhlola ukuphakama kweNxele kulawa mazwe kanye nemifelandawonye ecishe ibe ngokushesha - ukubambisana kwezomnotho, isibonelo - lokho ohulumeni abathandwayo abakuzuzile. Kukhona ukukhuphuka ngasikhathi sinye ukuhlobana kwezepolitiki kwabantu bomdabu baseNdiya e-Bolivia, kanye namathuba eliwamelayo kubantu baseNdiya base-Ecuador nasePeru. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kukhona ukudidiyelwa okuphawulekayo kweNingizimu neNingizimu osekuvele kweqa imingcele yesifunda futhi kubukela phansi ngokuphawulekayo ukubamba ngamandla kwe-IMF, okudlale indima engathandeki yomuntu ophakathi ongalungile phakathi kwabacebile nabampofu abangenalo usizi.

I-China ne-India, ngakolunye uhlangothi, iyaqhubeka nokukhula komnotho okumangalisayo ngamandla ezomnotho waseShayina kanye nokufaneleka ukudlula okwase-US. Eqinisweni, kunokungqubuzana okukhulu kwezombusazwe okwenzekayo phakathi kwe-US neChina, njengoba leli zwe lagcina lilokothe ​​lokwephula ukuqonda kwe-Monroe Doctrine of 1823, eyanikeza i-US kuphela ilungelo lokuphatha izizinda zayo zaseLatin America. Ngokokuqala ngqa, kusho ukuhlaziya kwe-BBC, izwe langaphandle liye labekela inselele ithonya laseMelika esifundeni, futhi kwaba njalo ngempumelelo. Ngempela, iShayina ithuthukisa ubudlelwano bayo bezomnotho neBrazil —womabili amandla ezomnotho akhula ngamandla— ngezindlela eziyogcina zisize iBrazil igqashule ekubeni nesandla esinamandla e-US.

Konke lokhu kuyingxenye "yezimpawu eziyisixwayiso" uHyde abenompempe enkulumeni yakhe. Yize kunezinkomba zokuthi iWashington ekugcineni ivuka kuleli qiniso elibuhlungu, elisize ukulidala, azikho izimpawu zokuthi kukhona uguquko olubalulekile kunqubomgomo yezangaphandle yase-US eMiddle East eyenzekayo: impi ebhubhisayo e-Iraq iyaqhubeka. kuvuliwe; umonakalo wokuzilimaza wokusekela u-Israyeli ngaphandle kwemibandela ezifisweni zakhe ezingapheli zobukoloni uyaqhubeka; futhi ulayini wenqubomgomo olimazayo ofanayo osetshenziswa ne-Iraq uyasebenza, cishe ngokufanayo ne-Iran. Abahleli benqubomgomo base-US baphikelela njalo ekulandeleni inkambo efanayo elimazayo eye yabeka engcupheni ukuma kwezwe labo emhlabeni jikelele.

Esikhundleni sokunaka lezi zinkinga, abaphathi bakaBush bazama ukubuyisela okunye ukulahlekelwa kwabo eNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia ngokusayina isivumelwano senuzi ne-India, isenzo esibuyisela izindinganiso eziphindwe kabili kanye nokubalwa kabi. Abaphathi baphinde basusa ukuvinjelwa kokuthengiswa kwezikhali ezibulalayo e-Indonesia ngokuqaphela "iqhaza layo eliyingqayizivele eNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia," naphezu kwemibhikisho yezinhlangano ezilwela amalungelo abantu.

Naphezu kohambo lukaBush 'olungokomlando' lwakamuva oluya eNdiya nezinye izikhulu eziphezulu' ezame ngokuxhamazela ukukhombisa ukubusa komhlaba wonke kweMelika, akufanele kube khona amanga ngokuthi impikiswano enkulu yenqubomgomo yezangaphandle yase-US iqala futhi iphethe ngokuthi. iMpumalanga Ephakathi —ikakhulukazi ubuhlobo bayo ‘obukhethekile’ no-Israyeli. Yize lesi sakamuva sesisebenze indima yekhasimende selokhu sasungulwa ezindaweni zasePalestine ezihlanzwe ngokobuhlanga, lobu budlelwano buye bashintshwa kakhulu eminyakeni yamuva nje, lapho indawo yokwamukela izivakashi i-pro-Israel ithatha indawo ephambili, hhayi nje ngokuthonya inqubomgomo yezangaphandle yase-US ku-Israel, kodwa. ekugcineni ngokuyiqondisa ngokuphelele esifundeni.

Ukwanda kwama-neoconservatives kwasiza ekwakheni umbono ongamanga wokuthi izinqubomgomo ze-US kanye ne-Israel ziyafana, okuhlanganisa izintshisekelo zabo ezifanayo ekugcineni "intshiseko" yezempi yakwa-Israyeli phezu komakhelwane bayo, okwagcina kuholele ekuhlaselweni kwe-Iraq. Ngenkathi ama-neocons egeza izandla zawo kunoma yisiphi isibopho esibhekene ne-Middle East, ukuzikhukhumeza kukaBush kuyayivimba ukuthi ihoxise ngokushesha amasosha ayo e-Iraq futhi ibuyekeze kabusha ubudlelwano bayo ne-Israel.

Umhlaba uyashintsha, nokho uhulumeni wase-US uyenqaba ukushiya izindlela zakhe zakudala: impi, ukuzihlula kanye nokucindezela. Ngempela, i-US kumele iguqule, hhayi kuphela izinqubomgomo zayo eMpumalanga Ephakathi, kodwa nezinqubomgomo zayo eziqinile emhlabeni wonke. Kwake kwaba kanye, abaphathi base-US badinga ukungena emqondweni wabo, futhi babone “izimpawu eziyisixwayiso”, okufanele ziholele “ekuhlolweni kabusha kwezinhloso [zazo] nezindlela zabo.” Isinyathelo sokuqala siwukuletha amabutho ekhaya, futhi kanye nawo yonke imfundiso yokuthi ubudlova obungalawuleki nezimpi ezingapheli zingaqhubekisela phambili imbangela yamandla amakhulu avele angathenjwa.
