While unlikely anytime soon, this possibility should give everyone pause and spur us to find policies that will help Arabs find the political dignity and good governance they deserve through an ordered, peaceful process. The alternative is a world in which we remain hostage to the region’s pathologies, which provide ample opportunity for Al Qaeda to reassert its narrative and influence.
虽然近期希望渺茫，但这种可能性应当促使我们冷静下来，找到能通过井然有序的和平进程帮助阿拉伯国家实现政治尊严和良性管理的相关政策。 我们也可以选择面对地区问题讳疾忌医，而基地组织将充分利用这样的机会扩大自己的影响。
