Ajie: The war in Iraq is probably going to get worse.
Beth: And more people will probably want to be terrorists.
Ajie: The U.S. and British armies should prosecute any soldiers and officers involved with these crimes.
Beth: I think they should make some government officials resign.
Ajie: Either that or withdraw from Iraq altogether.
Beth: It’s too late to do that now. They’ve already invaded. Now they have to get their jobs done before they can leave.
Ajie: They should have never invaded in the first place.
Beth: Try telling that to Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld. They didn’t even listen when millions of people protested.
阿杰:在伊拉克的战争或许会变得更糟。
贝丝:而且或许更多人想要变成恐怖分子。
阿杰:美国和英国军队应该起诉任何涉案的官兵。
贝丝:我认为他们应该要让一些官员辞职。
阿杰:不然就是干脆从伊拉克撤军。
贝丝:现在撤军太晚了。他们已经入侵啦。现在他们得完成工作才能离开。
阿杰:他们一开始就不该入侵的。
贝丝:试着去跟布什、钱尼和伦斯斐说吧。之前几百万人抗议,他们都不肯听了。
