因此战争结束对于美国普通民众而言也许并不明显，尽管使命的名称从“自由伊拉克行动”变为“新黎明行动”。

So the end of the war may not be apparent to ordinary Americans, despite the change of the mission’s name from “Operation Iraqi Freedom” to “Operation New Dawn”.

这令人想起了阿富汗和伊拉克的战争，在那里，美国人干涉并支持反派武装，而且最终结束了身陷两难境地的复杂内战。

Shades of Afghanistan and Iraq, where the US intervened to support rebelling minorities and ended up stuck in the middle of maddeningly complex civil wars.
