German Chancellor smoking crack

Gerhardt Schroeder, ubercoward of Germany, still believes paying depraved despots is a good policy. The cowardice is amazing. Somebody has to tell Germans that they're a major part of the world now, and needn't feel guilty about atrocities committed nearly a century ago.

From the BBC:

"Let's take the military option off the table. We have seen it doesn't work," Mr Schroeder told Social Democrats at the rally in Hanover, to rapturous applause from the crowd.

Mr Schroeder said it remained important that Iran did not gain atomic weapons, and a strong negotiating position was important.

War is not always bad, folks. There are no terror training camps in Afghanistan, for starters. Saddam Hussein no longer produces weapons of mass destruction nor does he threaten his neighbors. His population isn't disappearing in the night. Libya abandoned its WMD programs and apparently has ceased terror operations.

I can only hope that Germany is Iran's first target with a nuclear-tipped cruise missile. That would be a very, very sad day, but it is the only thing that will wake up the chancellor. Remember that it was only the London bombings that awakened the people of Britain, and it was only 9/11 that awakened America.
