But I say the threat is now, and there are rarely, if ever, perfect circumstances in which to deploy military forces.
但是我想說，威脅就在眼前，但出動軍事力量這種事幾乎不存在什么完美的前提。
Now we heard very powerful testimony from the honourable member for Eddisbury earlier when she quoted that passage, and I just want to read what Karwan Jamal Tahir, the Kurdistan regional government high representative in London, said last week and I quote: ,
我們剛才已經聽到了來自艾迪斯布里的尊敬的議員的有力證詞，她引用了這段話。我也愿意為大家朗讀一段來自庫爾德斯坦地方政府駐倫敦高級專員Karwan Jamal Tahir上周所說的話：
‘Last June, Daesh captured one third of Iraq over night and a few months later attacked the Kurdistan region.
“去年六月，達伊沙在一夜之間就占領了伊拉克三分之一的土地，數月后就開始進攻庫爾德斯坦。
Swift airstrikes by Britain, America and France, and the actions of our own Peshmerga, saved us.
英國、美國和法國及時的空襲，以及我們庫爾德自由民兵的戰斗拯救了我們。
We now have a border of 650 miles with Daesh.
我們現在與達伊沙之間有650英里的邊界。
We’ve pushed them back, and recently captured Sinjar.
我們將它們擊退，并在最近重新奪回了辛賈爾城，
Again, Western airstrikes were vital.
西方的空襲又一次幫助良多。
But the old border between Iraq and Syria does not exist.
但是伊拉克和敘利亞原來的邊境線早已不復存在，
Daesh fighters come and go across this fictional boundary.’
達伊沙的武裝人員在這條虛擬的邊境上來去自如。”
And that is the argument Mr Speaker, for treating the two countries as one, if we are serious about defeating Daesh.
議長先生，這就是我的論斷：如果我們真的想要擊潰達伊沙我們必須將伊敘兩國視同為一。
Now Mr Speaker, I hope the house will bear with me if I direct my closing remarks to my Labour friends and colleagues on this side of the House.
現在，議長先生，我希望各位可以允許我將我的結語說給我這一側工黨的朋友和同僚。
As a party we have always been defined by our internationalism.
作為一個政黨，我們一直標榜著國際主義。
We believe we have a responsibility one to another.
我們堅信，我們相互承載著對于彼此的責任。
We never have–and we never should–walk by on the other side of the road.
我們未曾，也絕不應該事不關己地繞行他路。
And we are here faced by fascists.
我們現在面對的，是法西斯。
Not just their calculated brutality, but their belief that they are superior to every single one of us in this chamber tonight, and all of the people that we represent.
并不僅因他們處心積慮的殘暴行徑，還有他們自認為比我們今天在場的每一個人都高貴，比我們所代表的人民都高貴。
They hold us in contempt.
他們蔑視我們。
They hold our values in contempt.
他們蔑視我們的價值觀。
They hold our belief in tolerance and decency in contempt.
他們蔑視我們一向的寬容和高尚。
They hold our democracy, the means by which we will make our decision tonight, in contempt.
他們蔑視我們今晚賴以做出決定的民主制度。
