Still, to read the well-known names of commentators and policymakers who are recommending engaging Syria and/or Iran is a testament to how inconsequential and cut off the Western powers have become from the realities on the ground in the world’s most turbulent region. That, it seems, is the price of their arrogance.
即便如此，那些卖力建议吸引叙利亚和/或伊朗的鼎鼎大名的评论家和决策者名字证明了西方列强在世界最动荡地区的现实情况面前显得多么束手无策。这似乎是他们为自己的傲慢自大所付出的代价。
