I thought of Michael Corleone when I listened to Donald Trump pledging to act to stop Syria’s “beautiful babies” from being gassed. “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in,” he must have been thinking last week, much like the quote from The Godfather Part III. Sure enough, even as pundits enumerated the many times Trump had previously railed against intervening in Syria, and reminded him of his “America first” doctrine, US missiles were raining on a Syrian air base.
當(dāng)我聽到唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)承諾采取行動阻止敘利亞“漂亮的孩子們”被毒氣毒死時(shí)，我想到了邁克爾?科萊奧內(nèi)(Michael Corleone)。“我剛剛金盆洗手，他們就逼我重出江湖，”他上周一定這么想過，就像《教父3》(The Godfather Part III)中的這句臺詞一樣。可以肯定的是，就在專家們列舉特朗普此前多次譴責(zé)干預(yù)敘利亞局勢的例子、并提醒他“美國優(yōu)先”(America First)原則時(shí)，美國導(dǎo)彈正如雨點(diǎn)般落在敘利亞的一個(gè)空軍基地。
