NEW YORK – In my experience, if you are attacked for your diplomacy from both left and right, by doves and hawks, and by internationalists and isolationists, you probably have it just right. In the avalanche of commentary on this month’s US-Russia deal on Syria’s chemical weapons, few have been prepared to call it a “win-win-win” outcome for the United States, Russia, and the Syrian people.
纽约——以我的经验，如果左右翼势力、鸽派和鹰派、国际主义者和孤立主义者同时攻击你的外交政策，那么你的政策可能恰到好处。在对本月美俄叙利亚化武交易雪片般的评论中，很少有人认为这是美国、俄国和叙利亚民众共赢的结果。但至少从目前看，恰恰出现了这样的状况。虽然有些失误，但大部分功劳应当归结于奥巴马总统及其团队。
