Quelle \u00ab\u00a0victoire\u00a0\u00bb remport\u00e9e sur Divine Strake<\/em> ?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

A la fin f\u00e9vrier, la DTRA (Defense Threat Reduction Agency) annon\u00e7ait officiellement que les projets d’essai du programme Divine Strake<\/em> \u00e9taient abandonn\u00e9s<\/a>. Le journaliste Robert C. Koehler estime<\/a> qu’il s’agit d’une victoire d’une coalition de citoyens et d’autorit\u00e9s locales et r\u00e9gionales de tendances politiques tr\u00e8s diverses contre l’appareil bureaucratique du complexe militaro-industriel. Cette bureaucratie militaire, par sa maladresse, par la pr\u00e9sentation qu’elle a faite de l’essai a largement contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 la mobilisation victorieuse en rappelant les souvenirs catastrophiques des exp\u00e9rimentations nucl\u00e9aires \u00e0 l’air libre des ann\u00e9es 1950 («\u00ab\u00a0I don’t want to sound glib here,\u00a0\u00bb DTRA director James Tegnelia told reporters a year ago, according to the Salt Lake Tribune, \u00ab\u00a0but it is the first time in Nevada that you’ll see a mushroom cloud over Las Vegas since we stopped testing nuclear weapons.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>»)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Koehler rapporte que de nombreuses victimes indirectes (surnomm\u00e9es \u00ab\u00a0Downwinders<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0) de ces essais nucl\u00e9aires ont soutenu cette mobilisation. L’\u00e9pisode est clairement pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 comme un \u00e9pisode de la lutte des Etats et de leurs citoyens contre la bureaucratie f\u00e9d\u00e9rale et le complexe militaro-industriel.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

«Well, enough is enough. People saw clearly that the horror of the Cold War era was about to begin again, with Tegnelia’s lurid and clueless remark about a new mushroom cloud having a galvanizing effect on residents in four states — Nevada, Utah, Idaho and Montana — in the immediate vicinity of the site. Massive opposition, cutting across all political lines, formed immediately. The Downwinders had a clear, intractable message for the weapons industry: \u00ab\u00a0You’re not going to make another generation of us!\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

»The stunning political diversity of the opposition speaks volumes. Conservative Republicans, such as Utah’s Gov. Jon M. Huntsman Jr. — who described himself as \u00ab\u00a0jubilant\u00a0\u00bb about Divine Strake’s cancellation — were in the front lines of the opposition, right next to antiwar progressives.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

»This conveys a crucial truth: A new, complex rationality is gaining political traction in American life. The logic of violence is deeply flawed and its paradoxes, which transcend ideology, are coming home to roost. The drive to create a new generation of low-yield nuclear weapons (e.g., bunker busters), of which Divine Strake was a part, has the glaring flaw, which government propaganda can no longer mask, of poisoning U.S. citizens in its testing and production phases. Even \u00ab\u00a0strong defense\u00a0\u00bb patriots see the problem with this, at least when it affects them and their loved ones.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

»From here, the logic for a new kind of society, a new national purpose, gains momentum. Surely no Downwinder who fought Divine Strake merely wanted the test site moved elsewhere (\u00ab\u00a0Bomb Indiana instead!\u00a0\u00bb). The test was wrong, period. And a growing number of people are coming to grasp that actually using such weapons on an \u00ab\u00a0enemy\u00a0\u00bb population would be worse, by a factor of thousands or millions, than just testing it. And slowly we are withdrawing the government’s mandate to perpetuate a violent world.<\/em>»<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
