Can Intervention Work? By Rory Stewart and Gerald Knaus.
《干预有用吗？》Rory Steward, Gerald Knaus合著。
Can we intervene in foreign countries and do good? Can we stop wars and genocides and get rid of evil dictators? Can we then build modern, democratic states that thrive in our wake? The answer depends on who you ask. An anti-Qaddafi Libyan will have nice things to say about NATO's role there right now. But you will get very different views from an Afghan, an Iraqi, a Bosnian or a Kosovar.
我们有权干预外国吗？我们的干预真的有利吗？我们能够阻止战争和屠杀吗？我们能够消灭掉那些邪恶的独裁者吗？我们能够激发他们的斗志，促使他们建造一个现代的民主国家吗？这些答案因人而异。谈起北约在推翻其政权中起到的重要作用，一个反对利比亚卡扎菲政权的人立即就滔滔不绝。但是如果你问一个阿富汗人，伊拉克人，波斯尼亚或是科索沃人，得到的答案就会大不相同。
