| "His Excellency" as this pompous Spaniard insists on being called, has really been much more "His Inadequacy" or that proverbial "breath of hot air". How incredibly arrogant of any European to believe it`s their duty to determine when, how and under what conditions the Israelis and the Arabs of the former British mandate over Palestine should come to terms. Can they facilitate? Of course. Can they insist? Maybe, but only when they are just as insistent about Darfur, Georgia, Myannmar, Tibet, the Occupied Gulf Islands and anywhere else where nations or peoples are in dispute. Solana is the finest representative of the exquisite failure of Europe in its self-appointed role as mediator. See, you don`t mediate between a legal country defending its right to exist and a people bent on its destruction. First, you need to tell the latter (Pal. Arabs) that they will never, ever have a state if their way is to eliminate another. |
