“THE United States is a damned country that deserves only to be cursed. It declares its own occupation of our lands legitimate, but brands our resistance as terrorists.” This was not the Libyan leader, Muammar Qaddafi, speaking 20 years ago, when his country was a pariah[1] and he was the butt[2] of international scorn. The words were spoken only last month, by the Libyan parliament’s deputy speaker, Ahmed Ibrahim, at a g________① in Tripoli, Libya’s capital, to commemorate its bombing by American aircraft in 1986.

“美國是一個(gè)可惡的國家，理所當(dāng)然應(yīng)該受到詛咒。它口口聲聲說占領(lǐng)我們的國土是合法的，卻誣蔑我們的抵抗力量是恐怖分子?！边@不是利比亞領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人穆阿邁爾•卡扎菲20前說的，那個(gè)時(shí)候利比亞是一個(gè)世所不容的國家，卡扎菲也被國際間當(dāng)作嘲弄的對象。這話出自利比亞國會(huì)發(fā)言人艾哈邁德•易布拉希姆之口，他上個(gè)月剛剛在利比亞首都的黎波里舉行的一次集會(huì)上說了這番話。此次集會(huì)旨在紀(jì)念1986年美國飛機(jī)轟炸利比亞事件。

Mr Ibrahim’s stridency[3] was, perhaps, inspired by America’s decision, in March, to keep Libya on its official list of state sponsors of terrorism, a dubious distinction it has held since 1979. All the more striking, then, that the American administration should have decided, this week, to restore full diplomatic relations.
