LONDON – As Syria’s civil war has progressed, the West’s views on arming the opposition have become increasingly confused, which reflects the growing muddle on the ground. While President Bashar al-Assad’s regime remains vicious and tyrannical, and some of its opponents’ motives remain altruistic, the conflict can no longer be defined simply as one of good versus evil.
伦敦—随着叙利亚内战的推进，西方对于武装反对派的态度变得日益不知所从，这反映出局势的混乱。总统巴沙尔的政权仍然恶毒而残暴，反对派中不乏以人民利益为动机者，尽管如此，这场冲突不能简单地定义为善与恶的交锋。
