Djerejian: In addressing uprisings in Middle East, first 'do no harm'

Edward Djerejian, who served eight American presidents on the Middle East, observes that the Chinese word for "crisis" has two ideograms.

“One ideogram is ‘danger’; the other ideogram is ‘opportunity,’" said Djerejian, who served as ambassador to Israel and Syria and assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs. “The dangerous situation in the Gulf now poses an opportunity.”
