NEW DELHI – In his victory speech to a rapturous crowd in Chicago following his reelection, President Barack Obama affirmed that America’s “decade-long conflict” in Afghanistan will now end. The line was greeted with prolonged applause – and understandably so.
新德里—在向芝加哥狂热拥趸发表连任胜利演讲时，总统奥巴马确认美国在阿富汗“长达十年的冲突”将会结束。迎接这一表态的是经久不息的掌声——不难理解这是为什么。事实上，这场错误的战争——因联合国安理会决议而发起——已经折磨了美国11年之久，成为美国历史上历时最长的战争。
