It would be absurd if we were to engage again in the kind of operations we were engaged in, in Iraq and Afghanistan if we were to suddenly find ourselves in a situation in which we were imposing anything other than a democratic system. Anything else would run contrary to our values, it would run contrary to the wishes of the people on the ground, it would run contrary to our interests.
Sería absurdo si participáramos otra vez en la clase de operaciones en que nos involucramos en Irak y Afganistán si nos encontramos de repente en una situación en la que impusiéramos algo distinto al sistema democrático, cualquier cosa diferente sería contraria a nuestros valores, sería contraria a los deseos de la gente común, sería contraria a nuestros intereses.
