Similarly, in Kosovo the international community has devoted little time to helping former combatants contemplate their collective responsibility for atrocities, no matter how direct or indirect their personal involvement. Without such an effort, attempting to improve the situation is like building a house on a sand dune.
类似地，科索沃的国际社会并未投入足够时间帮助前战斗人员反省其残暴行为的集体责任，而无论是否直接或间接个人卷入。缺此，改善局势的努力犹如建造空中阁楼。
