An endless war waged on America’s terms against the enemies that it helped to create is unlikely to secure either steady international support or lasting results. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the tepid Arab and Turkish response to America’s effort to assemble an international coalition in support of what the Obama administration admits will be a multiyear military offensive against the Islamic State.
美国与其所帮助培养的敌人的无尽的战争不可能获得稳定的国际支持或带来持久性结果。阿拉伯和土耳其对于美国试图建立国际联盟支持奥巴马政府承认可能持续多年的针对伊斯兰国的军事打击反应冷淡就是最好的证明。
