从2008年至2009年上半年,美国对中东政策进入重大调整时期,也是变化时期。此间,布什卸任,留下一个烂摊子,阿富汗和伊拉克战后问题成堆,巴勒斯坦内部分裂成为两个政府,伊朗发生核危机及其势力强劲,美国用西方民主改造中东国家,等等。奥巴马上台后,踌躇满志,大力推出美国中东政策新举措,宣布从伊拉克撤军,将安全责任完全过渡给伊拉克人,将反恐重心由伊拉克东移到阿富汗;在巴以和谈问题上,美国宣布坚持两国方案;在伊朗核问题上,奥巴马主动谋取与伊朗直接对话,改变了布什要对伊朗打一场防扩散战争的政策。上述情况表明,美国对中东政策正在发生重大变化。
<<Since 2008 to the middle term of 2009,the U.S.Middle East policy has experienced significant changes. During this period of time,Bush retired from office and left behind a big mess,such as the conflict and instability in Afghanistan and Iraq,the split into two governments in Palestine,the Iranian nuclear crisis,the democratic transformation of the Middle East counties,etc.Since Obama took office,he has promoted new Middle East policy with strong self-confidence.He announced that the United States would withdraw its troops from Iraq,and transfer totally the security responsibility to Iraqis. Moreover,the U.S.would move its anti-terrorism focus eastward from Iraq to Afghanistan. On the issue of Palestinian-Israeli peace talks,the United States would insist on its principle of two-state solution. Meanwhile,Obama has taken the initiative to seek a direct dialogue with Iran,and hence might change the U.S.policy of attacking against Iran resulting from Iranian nuclear issue.
