The story in Qur'an-el-Kareem indicates that when this wise queen received the letter from King Soloman she called her advisory council/ shura/ her cabinet or whatever you may call and addresses them how to respond to this invitation (change in religious thinking just like these days people want democracy and threaten the king/president like in Syria).
"She said, Ye chiefs!advise me in my affair; no affair have I decided except in your presence. They said: We are endued with strength and given to vehement war, but the command is with thee, so consider what thou wilt demand." (Sura 27th verses 32, 33.) Very simple and very instructive. They are telling her we have all the weapons and strength and would be willing to jump into armed conflict if you decide. But here is her wisdom in the next verse 34th:
"She said, Kings when they enter a country despoil it and make the noblest of its people meanest, Thus do they behave." Next, "But I am going to send him a present .........." (35th verse)
She is clearly worried that war is likely to bring misery to the people and so many of my people will be killed or maimed or driven into low life, or something like that. It is unnecessary to do so therefore let us take an alternative approach---OK come back to modern times: in the case of Syria would translate to the following scenario
The president should have considered that and called the "rebels " to a table to talk. That would have avoided loss of 10K lives. As it is now the West and more importantly America has challenged Bashar to step down. Even if he does not do so soon there will be consequences he will have to face and eventually either leave in miserable state or even lose his own life and "chair" which he thinks is his right because of 'inheritance''. Then there are other examples of Muammer Qadafi and Husni Mubarak before him
Queen Sheba's wisdom is sorely needed in the present day politics and is applicable to all the heads of state today where even fake excuses are manufactured to hurry to war.
