It should have been the model in Iraq, as it now should be the model in Iran. Instead, defenders of the contemporary equivalent of “rollback” advocate attacking Iran because it is developing nuclear weapons.
遏制利比亚绝非姑息纵容。美国在伊拉克就应该实行遏制政策，如今在伊朗也是同样的状况。但与此形成鲜明对照的是，现代“击溃”政策的捍卫者拼命要求打击伊朗，理由是伊朗在制造核武器。这和20世纪50年代鼓吹对华作战一样愚蠢可笑。
