How German Lost the War in Iraq
A catolog of all Germany has lost as a result of Shroeder's policy on Iraq.
"That French President Jacques Chirac is even less popular in the US than Schröder gives German diplomats slight consolation. But opposition to US policy from France never comes as a shock. Indeed, Chirac's tone and tactics conform to textbook Gaullist patterns. By contrast, German assertiveness vis-à-vis the US was stunning--perhaps because, as it is said, you have to be fully behind someone who you stab in the back."
The views of a former advisor to Chancelor Kohl make interesting reading.
