If the justified intervention in Libya by the US, the UK, and France had not later been conducted with such cloth-eared indifference to Russian, Chinese, and developing-country concern about mandate overreach, greater unity on Syria could have been achieved in the Security Council in 2011, when a united message might have stopped Assad cold.
是的，总有些问题可以而且应当采取不同的处理方式。永远会有改进的余地。如果美、英、法等国的正当干预后来没有以无视俄、中和其他发展中国家对越权干预担心的方式进行，安理会在2011年或许就能在叙利亚问题上更加团结，各方发出的联合讯息或许已经阻止了阿萨德的胡作非为。
