Someone once rightly said that it is easy to bomb, but much harder to build; it is relatively easy to defeat a regime militarily, but it is far more difficult to create a solid, sustainable, civil society in its place. The UN General Assembly should keep this in mind as it starts to codify the doctrine of the “responsibility to protect.”
有人曾说，轰炸易，重建难。此言不假。从军事上击败一个政权相对容易，而在其基础上建立稳固、可持续的公众社会则极为困难。联合国大会在开始编撰“保护责任”主义之时，应当谨记。
