Insult exchange makes Schroeder give up vacation in Italy
Before Berlusconi called a German Greenie a nazi, the German press had labeled him the Godfather. Insults continue to fly.
"...This latest fracas began on Friday when Mr. Stefani, who is a member of the small nationalist Northern League, wrote in a letter to his party's newspaper, La Padania, 'We know the Germans well, those stereotyped blonds with a hyper-nationalist pride who have always been indoctrinated to be first in the class at any cost.'
"Apparently angry over the argument last week over comments by Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian prime minister, that likened a German deputy in the European Parliament to a functionary in a Nazi concentration camp, Mr. Stefani called Germany a 'country intoxicated with arrogant certainties.' While they like to vacation in Italy, he said, the Germans also like to deal in anti-Italian stereotypes."
Schroeder decided to find some other place to relax. It does appear the Germans are not total pacifist.
