Syria will take decades to rebuild, with future generations scarred by the political and psychological consequences of the current turmoil – much like Bosnia, but on a much larger scale. The arms and money flowing to self-proclaimed holy fighters over the last four years have fanned revolutionary flames that may yet lead to a redrawing of the map of the Middle East.
叙利亚需要几十年的时间重建，其未来几代人都将因为当前动荡的政治和心理创伤而受难——就像是波斯尼亚，但规模要大得多。在过去四年中，流向自称的圣战斗士的军火和资金点燃了革命的火种，但这场火还没有达到重画中东地图的程度。但我们无法一笔勾销困在中东的几百万人。不管是出于道德还是战略原因，设置禁飞区正逢其时。
