Rubin: Harpers Interviews Ahmed Rashid on Pakistan Elections

Scott Horton of Harpers interviews Ahmed Rashid (see my related post):
American interest in Pakistan picked up suddenly when Benazir Bhutto was assassinated, and then came back briefly as the Pakistani elections produced surprising results. In a word, they were a clear-cut defeat for Pervez Musharraf. I turned to the foremost commentator on Pakistani politics for some predictions, to Ahmed Rashid. Operating out of Lahore, Rashid is the author of three books including the best sellers ‘Taliban’ and most recently ‘Jihad.’ He has covered Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia for the past 25 years and writes for the ‘Far Eastern Economic Review,’ the ‘Daily Telegraph’ and ‘The Wall Street Journal.’

高水准的同声译员是确保会议的关键因素深圳翻译公司选用的庄绎传先生编写的英汉翻译教程,实际上,这本书也就是翻译公司他所写的简明英汉翻译教程广州翻译公司,同时的翻译同声传译会的。
翻译,同声传译这本书也是很多学校考同声传译翻译专业研究生所必备的教材翻译公司。北外的高级翻译学院用的也是这套教材。但是主要的问题不是教材很难,上海翻译公司要害是考试的内容是和书上要一模一样的深圳翻译公司,所以同学翻译公司在复习的时候就会觉得很辛劳,深圳翻译一个单词翻译的和书上不一样就可能出现错误,所以知识点的把握确实深圳同声传译是很重要的

I'd viewed Harpers as considerably less imperial-minded than the NYT or Atlantic Monthly, but this interview gives me insight into the Beltway/Obama fascination with winning the war in Afghanistan-Pakistan: the war on terror.
Because south Asia is farther away than Mesopotamia and because the UK, our fathers in empire, had less "success" in south Asia, our Beltway aspirations are that much magnified by our resulting ignorance, which is thus unable to trammel our egoism.
So the problem here is a social revolution in the US, throwing off the (as T. Roosevelt would say) "Anglophilia" and its white power consciousness ("the world is a blank white sheet of paper and I am the artist of geopolitics, here in my family and out there in Megalopolis") that is embedded in our ruling class. Ruling class? Yale, dear. What do they do at Yale? Or as the famous English lady said at dinner, "But what is it that they DO?"
