The Libyan regime of Muammer Gaddafi must be stopped from killing its own people. No-fly zones are one option, but carry considerable risks. They imply a major attack on Libyan air defences, causing casualties. Colonel Gaddafi would depict this as an act of war, with highly uncertain political consequences. But even without removing the military option, there are non-violent measures that can and should be implemented now.
我們必須阻止穆阿邁爾?卡扎菲(Muammer Gaddafi)政權(quán)屠殺利比亞人民。禁飛區(qū)是一個(gè)選擇,但帶有相當(dāng)大的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。它意味著要對(duì)利比亞的防空體系實(shí)施大規(guī)模襲擊,導(dǎo)致人員傷亡。卡扎菲會(huì)將此舉描述成戰(zhàn)爭行為,從而帶來非常不確定的政治后果。但是,即便不排除這一軍事選擇,也有一些非暴力措施可以(而且應(yīng)該)馬上實(shí)施。
