But the current firestorm, like other recent diplomatic crises for the United States, reflects a more fundamental problem: the lack of strategic vision in American foreign policy. Until the US is able to establish an overarching, purpose-oriented framework through which it relates to the world, a reactive approach is inevitable, with high-intensity incidents such as we have seen this month continuing to be the norm.
但最近的风波与其他与美国相关的当前外交危机一样，反映了一个更加根本的问题：美国外交政策缺少战略眼光。在美国能够建立起包罗万象、目的导向的框架来与世界发生关系之前，难免要采取被动方式，我们在本月所看到的轩然大波将继续成为常态。
