The first journey of Hillary Rodham Clinton to Asian countries, instead of the European, is a journey of modesty. The American stereotype to be arrogant should be replaced with humbleness and appreciation of other culture. Elizabeth Karen, the Chicago born “Sinden” (Singer in Javanese Orchestra) is very popular among the Javanese as popular as Claire Selgin (formerly married to Paul Wolfowitz) was very popular among the Yogyanese. It is because of her willingness to learn Javanese dance.
Actually, if the US wants to win over the Asian, the easiest one is to win her heart. Asian is very feminine. She needs to be praised and to be appreciated. She requires to be understood what, why and how she behaves. Conflict resolution can be settled by sitting together and having a morning coffee, instead of with guns and bombs. Image creation is the most important.
The image is that the US should put himself as a considerate daddy facing his growing up daughter. Rose and beautiful poem before giving a pocket money is enough to improve his relationship with his brooding daughter.
Born as in an Islamic Javanese surrounding and study English literature, I find myself as a pluralist. Love is the language of the pluralist and the success of human being is measured on how deep is his or her concern on the life of other people.
