Although his national security team consists of people who largely supported the war in Iraq, Obama has made it clear that his agenda includes withdrawing troops from that country. International goodwill will probably be the key to his success, if not in re-establishing American hegemony, then at least in making America the “indispensable nation” once more.
虽然他的国家安全班子组成的人员大部分支持伊拉克战争，但奥巴马已经明确表示，他的议程包括从伊拉克撤军。而国际上的善意的支持可能是他是否能取得成功的关键，这种成功如果不是在重新建立美国霸权方面，那么至少是在使美国重新成为一个“不可或缺的国家”。
