Immediately after the crackdown on November 7, 2007, the Western media, in addition to the inevitable puns about roses, thorns and withering, offered two different narratives. The first, perhaps best seen in Anne Applebaum's piece in The Washington Post, was that democracy had failed in Georgia partially because of wrongheaded U.S. policies. The second was that this was a mistake, but otherwise things were going well in Georgia and if the January 5 elections went well, democracy in Georgia would be back on track. Interestingly, this latter narrative seems to be in the ascendancy and seems to reflect US policy. The truth lies somewhere in between and is worth thinking about.
在2007年11月7日的镇压之后,西方媒体除了不可避免地用玫瑰、荆棘和枯萎的双关语,立即提供了两种不同的叙述。第一,也许在安妮·阿普勒鲍姆(Anne Applebaum)发表在《华盛顿邮报》(The Washington Post)上的文章中表现得最为明显,那就是格鲁吉亚的民主之所以失败,部分原因在于美国的错误政策。第二,这是一个错误,但除此之外,格鲁吉亚的一切都很顺利,如果1月5日的选举顺利进行,格鲁吉亚的民主就会回到正轨。有趣的是,后一种说法似乎占了上风,似乎反映了美国的政策。真相介于两者之间,值得思考。

ON FEBRUARY 10, 2004, I delivered the Irving Kristol Lecture to the American Enterprise Institute outlining a theory of foreign policy that I called democratic realism. It was premised on the notion that the 1990s were a holiday from history, an illusory period during which we imagined that the existential struggles of the past six decades against the various totalitarianisms had ended for good. September 11 reminded us rudely that history had not ended, and we found ourselves in a new existential struggle, this time with an enemy even more fanatical, fatalistic and indeed undeterable than in the past. Nonetheless, we had one factor in our favor. With the passing of the Soviet Union, we had entered a unique period in human history, a unipolar era in which America enjoys a predominance of power greater than any that has existed in the half-millennium of the modern state system. The challenge of the new age is whether we can harness that unipolar power to confront the new challenge, or whether we rely, as we did for the first decade of the post-Cold War era, on the vague internationalism that characterizes the foreign policy thinking of European elites and American liberalism.
