LONDON – The announcement, following the use of chemical weapons in Syria, of an emergency summit in Jordan this week of military leaders from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar is a welcome development. Western policy is at a crossroads: commentary or action; shaping events or reacting to them.
伦敦——在叙利亚使用化学武器后，本周美国、英国、法国、德国、意大利、加拿大、土耳其、沙特阿拉伯和卡塔尔等国军事领导人在约旦召开紧急峰会后发表声明是一项值得欢迎的举措。西方政策需要在评论还是行动；决定事态还是被动反应中做出抉择。
