与朝鲜和伊朗挑衅性的核战略不同，巴沙尔作为地区的“邪恶轴心”呼吁与美国进行对话，而不是使他们作出入侵的决定，以及与以色列达成妥协，而不是挑起与它的战争。
Not unlike North Korea’s and Iran’s defiant nuclear policies, Bashar’s membership in the region’s “axis of evil” is a call for dialogue with America, not an invitation to an invasion, and for a settlement with Israel, not a drive to wage war on it.
