It is unlikely that US policymaking reflects the grip of some ideal view of the world, in which getting rid of dictators is the same thing as creating democracies. Rather, the belief in ideal outcomes is a necessary myth to cover an unwillingness to use force persistently and intelligently enough to achieve a desired result.
美国的政策制定绝对没有体现理想的世界观，认为消灭独裁者和建立民主是一回事。相反，坚信理想结果是用来掩盖不愿坚定明智地使用武力直到实现渴望结果的必要的神话。
