We can even "instruct" some EU members what to do. I wonder if anybody "instructed" Sweden on how to write its proposal? Anyway, Patten's piece is worth a read: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/91a8f82e-e8e4-11de-a756-00144feab49a.html -- it's clear that for him, Israel is the one and only obstacle to peace in the Mideast; apparently he doesn't think that there was any problem with the "Al Aksa intifada" -- except for Israel's response, of course; and regrettably, he apparently has never ever heard of Olmert's proposals last year to Abbas.

– it’s clear that for him, Israel is the one and only obstacle to peace in the Mideast; apparently he doesn’t think that there was any problem with the “Al Aksa intifada” — except for Israel’s response, of course; and regrettably, he apparently has never ever heard of Olmert’s proposals last year to Abbas.
