第八章 美国:心情矛盾的超级大国

字数:698
  1. “二战”后第一位总统杜鲁门解释道,“美国的外交政策坚定地建立在公平正义的原则之上”,“我们一定要努力把这一黄金原则应用到这个世界的国际事务中去”。艾森豪威尔曾是一位坚强的士兵,作为总统,他几乎用同样的话语来表达目标:“我们希望和平……在国家生活中扎根。必须有正义,所有人民都能感受和分享……必须有法律,所有国家都援用和尊重它。”因此,正如杰拉尔德·福特在1974年国会联席会议上所说:“成功的外交政策,是把全体美国人民的希望向外延伸,追求一个有序和平、有序改良和有序自由的世界。”Harry S.

  2. 1991年的联合国687号决议敦促停止第一次海湾战争的敌对行为,条件是伊拉克立即销毁储存的大规模杀伤性武器,并承诺永远不再发展此类武器。伊拉克没有遵守687号决议。早在1991年8月,安理会就宣布伊拉克“实质上违背了”自身义务。海湾战争之后数年中,安理会又通过了十多项决议,要求伊拉克完全遵守停火条款。安理会后来发现,萨达姆·侯赛因“1998年最终停止了与联合国武器检查特别委员会和国际原子能机构的所有合作”,赶走了停火协议要求它接待的联合国检查员。2002年11月,安理会通过了1441号决议,“谴责”伊拉克十年来拒不遵守协议,确定“伊拉克一直且仍然实质违背了有关决议规定的义务”。首席检查员汉斯·布利克斯并不是主战派,他于2003年1月向安理会提出报告,称巴格达没有解决突出的问题且态度前后不一。世界将长期讨论这场军事行动的意义,也将思考之后民主改造伊拉克时将采取的战略。不过,只要还是忽略多边背景,这场争论及其对将来违反国际不扩散原则行为的意义也将模糊不清。
