Here, successive US governments have compounded South Asia’s problems by pursuing only their own national interests, at an incalculable cost to the natural, organic growth of the region’s countries.

在这一点上，历届美国政府都只追求自身的利益，令南亚的问题变得更加复杂，也对该区域各国的自然有机成长造成了数不清的危害。没有俄罗斯、中国、印度、巴基斯坦、阿富汗和伊朗的应和就不可能达成任何长期解决方案；而这些方案显然也无法由美国和北约单方面推动。
