They have enabled – indeed, fueled – the rise of the Islamic State, and with it a growing threat to the global order, as the successive terrorist attacks in Sharm el-Sheikh, Beirut, and Paris tragically have shown.

巴沙尔支持者的行为目前已造成270,000多人死亡，超过700万人成为国内流民，迫使近四百万人逃离，更有近1,200万人急需援助。他们让伊斯兰国得以兴盛——甚至助了伊斯兰国一臂之力——并给全球秩序造成日益严重的威胁，在沙姆沙伊赫、贝鲁特和巴黎接连发生的恐怖袭击悲剧地证明了这一点。沙特阿拉伯领导层——不顾维也纳谈判目前所达成的暂时性结果——将继续致力于确保巴沙尔下台、结束叙利亚乱象。
