NEW YORK – As the US Congress considers whether to authorize American military intervention in Syria, its members should bear in mind a basic truth: While Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad has repeatedly used extreme violence to retain power, the United States – and other governments in the Middle East and Europe – share responsibility for turning Syria into a killing field.
纽约—在美国国会在考虑是否授权军事干预叙利亚，各位议员应该记住一个基本事实：叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德为了把持权力而一再使用极端暴力，但美国——以及其他中东和欧洲政府——也要为叙利亚变成屠杀场承担一定责任。
