NEW YORK – The September 11, 2001, terror attacks by Al Qaeda were meant to harm the United States, and they did, but in ways that Osama bin Laden probably never imagined. President George W. Bush’s response to the attacks compromised America’s basic principles, undermined its economy, and weakened its security.
纽约——2011年9月11日，基地组织对美国发动了恐怖袭击。他们的意图是要给美国点颜色看看，但采用这样的方式恐怕连本·拉登自己都没有想到。乔治·布什总统对9·11的反应有违美国基本原则，破坏了美国经济，还恶化了美国的安全形势。
