Alas, such a foreign policy – derived from politically expedient, short-term commitments – risks setting in motion dynamics that ultimately lead to international chaos. In particular, the idea that the US could somehow ensure Israel’s future by imposing a new order in the Middle East – through the forceful export of “democracy to both Syria or Iran – is dangerous daydreaming.
可惜,这种权宜的、短期的政治承诺所催生的外交政策可能会启动各种不可预知的动态,最终导致国际混乱。特别是,美国可以通过强制向叙利亚和伊朗输出“民主,建立中东新秩序,从而保障以色列的未来,这简直是危险的白日梦。
The post-1945 US domination of the Middle East is receding rapidly while the region is in the midst of upheaval. Most of the prevailing borders, which date back to the Anglo-French diktats following the first world war and the concurrent disintegration of the Ottoman empire, are shaky. Even the region’s major states, notably Iran and Turkey, are vulnerable to internal ethnic and religious strains.
美国在1945年后在中东的主导地位正在急剧下降,该地区正处于动荡之中。可追溯到一战后英法主导及奥斯曼帝国解体时期的大部分现有边界陷入不稳定。就连该地区的主要国家,尤其是伊朗和土耳其,也很容易受到内部民族和宗教紧张的打击。
