From today’s Washington Times here’s

From today’s Washington Times here’s an editorial on how things have been going for German Chancellor Schroeder since he won re-election by means of a viruently anti-American campaign. Here’s a hint — things haven’t been going well for the Chancellor. One poll showed that half of the people who voted for him in September now wish they hadn’t. And a disagreement between Schroeder and the Green Party over the appropriate level of military cooperation with the United States threatens to dissolve the ruling coalition. According to the Times, there is talk that Schoeder’s liberal Social Democratic Party will oust him and form a coalition with Germany’s leading conservative party (the CDU/CSU alliance) in order to enact needed economic reforms and improve relations with the United States.
