Unfortunately, Western leaders have repeatedly shown that they lack the patience and dedication needed to engage consistently and humbly with communities in crisis-stricken countries or to provide the reliable, incremental, and prolonged governance assistance needed to prevent state collapse. With their short attention spans and heightened sense of their own importance, they prefer the option of simply installing a despot to deal with it.
不幸的是，西方领导人一再证明他们缺乏怀着谦逊之心与危机国家社会持续接触的耐心和奉献精神，也无力提供防止国家崩溃所需的可靠、渐进和长期的治理援助。因为西方自视甚高且集中注意力的时间非常有限，他们更愿意扶植独裁者完成治理国家的任务。为了所有人的利益，他们必须克服自己的短处。
