Of course, the Sunnis comprise a minority in Iraq, so insurgents have little prospect of “winning” control of the country the way North Vietnam was able to win control of South Vietnam. But that is little consolation, because they can still disrupt progress toward a stable constitutional government.
当然，逊尼派在伊拉克只是少数，因此他们的叛乱像北越控制南越一样“控制”全国的可能性微乎其微。但这却不能给我们带来多少安慰，因为它仍然能够阻碍稳定宪法政府的形成。在最坏的情况下，它还有可能引发全国性内战。
