US President Barack Obama is now trying to negotiate a new “status of forces” agreement with the Afghan government in order to establish how many US troops will remain in Afghanistan and the terms of their deployment. But the reality is that the US is scuttling from a conflict that it has lost, just as it did in Vietnam almost 40 years ago, leaving the beleaguered population to its own devices.
如今，美国总统奥巴马在试图与阿富汗政府谈判新的“驻军地位”协议，以确定多少美军将留驻阿富汗以及他们的部署问题。但现实是美国从冲突中败北遁走，一如近40年前的越南，任其走后被包围的群众自生自灭。
