Reason number one was "changes in the surrounding neighbourhood" which seems a rather mild description for revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia, civil wars in Syria and Libya, and the destabilisation of Arab States from Morocco to Saudi Arabia. 排在第一位的理由是“周边国家的变化”就埃及和突尼斯的革命,叙利亚和利比亚的内战以及从摩洛哥到沙特等阿拉伯国家的动荡而言,这似乎是一种相当温和的描述。
At that point, the war would have brought about the result it was launched to prevent the destabilisation of the entire Middle East. 到了那个时候,战争将会带来发动战争时所希望阻止的结果即整个中东地区的稳定性遭到破坏。
