The US, of course, claims that it, too, knows all about democracy. But its diplomatic cognitive dissonance – criticizing the Egyptian regime while continuing to supply it with military hardware – can serve only to undermine bilateral relations, just as the same American approach to Musharraf’s regime thoroughly eroded US-Pakistani ties.
当然，美国也说，我对民主一清二楚。但其外交认知失调——在批评埃及政权的同时继续向其提供军事装备——只能破坏双边关系，一如美国针对穆沙拉夫政权的方针彻底破坏了美巴关系。
