Javier Solana's very wise words about the different approaches to solving problems:
"For China, problems are judged according to the country’s own history and from the standpoint of domestic policy – all the more so the closer the problem is to its borders. For the West, especially the US, every problem should have a solution within a finite period of time. While the US breaks down problems and tries to find solutions for each part, China considers political problems unhurriedly, as an extended process that might have no resolution."
Unfortunately, neither the Western leaders, nor Mr. Solana himself demonstrate this kind of wisdom when in it comes to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
