The Middle East is a place where the dust hardly ever settles. When it occasionally does, even for a short interval – as UN Resolution 1701 for cessation of hostilities in Lebanon seems to be holding – it is time to take stock of events in the hopes that a responsible debate may influence those in power.
中东战争的尘埃从未落定。每当偶尔闪现出瞬间的希望¾就像平息黎巴嫩冲突的联合国1701号决议让人们看到了曙光¾人们真的应该抓住机会认真思考整个事件的前前后后，期望一场负责任的辩论能够对当权者造成影响。
