To all intents and purposes America will not become intoxicated with its intent for revenge against terrorism after the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York.People all over the world may have an intrinsic problem with American policy,but any intelligible person,even Americans,will tell you that no one wants to see violence intensify in the interim between the New York tragedy and what comes next.It just won't happen.
  It is intriguing to think that intervention might occur.And there may be intermittent attempts to intercept terrorists.But fighting global terrorism is an intricate issue.If you intimidate one people group,for example,you may find your interjection to have affected many more people than you planned.Any right the US might have would disappear.And there would be a world war.The situation is also so very difficult because the intersection between religion and politics has become too strong.In many regions they are integral parts of one and other,with no interim in between.
  How to interact with these religions,governments and people groups requires integrity and a sharp intellect. While President Bush may lack both of these,the social intercourse between him and his advisors is strong.When they interface they tell Bush what to do.All the voices of other intervening world leaders will also influence actions.It is my hope that Bush will have wise advisors,good counsel,and uncharacteristic wisdom.I think this is the hope of the world as well.Only time will tell.

    实际上，在纽约世贸中心被毁之后，美国不会因为有向恐怖主义进行报复的意图而变得陶醉。全世界的人们可能本来就认为美国政策存在问题，但任何一个清楚的人——甚至美国人——都会告诉你，没有人愿意看到在纽约悲剧与下一步即将发生的事情期间暴力得到加剧。这样的事情决不会发生。
    认为干预可能发生的想法是有迷惑力的。拦截恐怖分子的努力可能会断断续续做下去。但与全球恐怖主义做斗争是一个错综复杂的问题。比方说，如果你威胁一群人，你可能会发现你的突然插入所影响的人比你计划的要多得多。美国可能拥有的任何权利将会失去，接着就有可能爆发世界大战。目前局势很困难的原因还在于宗教与政治的交叉性已经变得太强。在许多地区，两者都是构成整体所必需的，中间没有任何间歇。
    如何与这些宗教、政府和人群打交道需要正直和聪明的智慧。虽然布什总统可能两者都缺乏，但他与他的顾问团之间的社会交往是非常密切的。当他们互相配合工作的时候，他们会告诉布什该怎么做。所有其他介入此事的国际领导人的声音也会对行动产生影响。我希望布什有聪明的顾问、正确的意见和难得的智慧。我认为这也是全世界所希望的。只有时间能告诉我们一切。
