美英发动的这场战争终于可以看到结束的迹象。虽然与曾经大肆宣扬的“一周拿下巴格达”有着太大的距离,但星条旗却实实在在地插在了巴格达的共和宫。在未来的岁月里,美国将致力于把伊拉克塑造成中东的“样板”国家,企图要让世界知道什么才是美国式的民主和自由。在这场战争之后,必将争论的一个重要课题是美国文明在两河流域的兴衰。美国能否在伊拉克建设一个亲西方的国家?能不能在伊斯兰世界撒下所谓美式的自由、民主的种子?
The war started by the United States and Britain can finally see the end of the war. Although much too far away from what was once “widely proclaimed” in “a week's capture of Baghdad,” the stars and stripes are actually inserted in the republican palace in Baghdad. In the coming years, the United States will devote itself to shaping Iraq as a “model” country in the Middle East in an attempt to let the world know what it means to be American-style democracy and freedom. After the war, an important issue that will surely be debated is the rise and fall of American civilization in the two rivers. Can the United States build a pro-Western country in Iraq? Can we sow the so-called free and democratic seeds of the United States in the Islamic world?
