and worse, it is counterproductive.
و از همه بدتر راه به مقصد نمیبرد.
talk about security in zero sum terms,
در مفهوم سرجمع-صفر گفتگو کرد،
is by compromising on values and rights:
با مخاطره بین ارزشها و حقوق است:
are not opposite values,
ارزشهای رودررو نیستند،
and to be free from violence,
و از خشونت آزاد بودن،
for its citizens.

آزادی و رشد یکپارچه بازمیدارد.
just as much as we do
درست به همان اندازه که ما داریم،
so they can live a normal life
تا بتوانند یک زندگی عادی داشتهباشند
enjoy their human rights.
میبایست تغییر ایجاد کنیم.
that sustainable security
and respecting human rights.
و احترام به آن استوار است.
to guarantee our own security
برای تضمین امنیت خودمان

at home for ourselves
on protecting civilians
به حفاظت از غیرنظامیان آنسوی مرزها،

in the number of weapons it holds
شمار سلاحی که دردست دارد، سنجید
it has kept out of school
که بدون مدرسه ماندهاند،
of having millions of children in Syria
حضور میلیونها کودک در سوریه
and out of school,
محرومیت از مدرسه بزرگ میشوند
threat to stability
and just as much energy to counter this
صرف این مقابله کنیم
when countering ISIS militarily.
our security policy has been short-term.

the link between what we do today
بین کاری که ما امروز میکنیم
از بین میبرد.
not more secure in the long term.
بیامنیتتر کردهاست.

on the United States.
trauma and radicalization,
و افراط گرایی را تغذیه خواهد کرد،
of so many of the security challenges
چالشهای امنیتی است که
in the long term.
civilian-centered security,
