In other words, this is hardly a moment when any leader anywhere would be in a position to offer more concessions to the opposition. Today, Sunnis in Iraq’s Anbar province, inspired by their brethren in neighboring Syria, are organizing “tribal armies” to do battle with the Iraq national army – a challenge to central authority that no leader could ignore.
换言之，在这样的时刻不会有任何地方的任何领导人对反对党做出更多让步。今天，在邻国叙利亚兄弟们的激励下，伊拉克安巴尔省的逊尼民众正组建“部落军”与伊拉克政府军交战，没有任何领导人会对这样的挑战视若无睹。
