In Libya, four scenarios may negatively affect prospects for democratization: civil/tribal war, military rule, becoming “stuck in transition,” and partition. Given the high price Libyans have paid, those scenarios should be prevented rather than cured.
在利比亚，内战/部族战争、军事统治、“在过渡期间陷入停顿”以及分裂等四种情形可能给民主化前景造成消极的影响。由于利比亚人已经付出了惨痛的代价，我们应该竭力避免上述情况，而不是等真的出现了再加以弥补。
