It is this specific “marriage of reason” between France and the UN that is essential to understanding the French position on Libya. Indeed, the same relationship between France and the UN that led to the country’s resistance to intervention in Iraq in 2003 has now pushed France to intervene in Libya in 2011.
正是联合国和法国之间这种特别的“理性联姻”造就了理解法国对利比亚立场的关键因素。实际上，导致法国反对2003年入侵伊拉克的同样一种法国和联合国关系现在却在促成2011年法国进行利比亚干涉。
