| German peace movement plans pro-Iran demos |
| 2003-04-14 |
| The German Peace Movement announced plans for holding nationwide demonstrations in the near future in solidarity with Iran and Syria while protesting America's pre-emptive war strategy, the German press reported on Monday. If at first you don't succeed... "There should be no further offensive wars against, for example, Iran and Syria," an unidentified peace activist was cited as saying following a weekend meeting of the German Peace Movement in Frankfurt. He further said that any other new wars, just like the US war in Iraq, would be "illegitimate." German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder warned last week the US against starting new wars in the Middle East region, reacting to American threats against Iran and Syria. "I am warning against repetitions," Schroeder said. Warn away. |

| #10 That "solidarity" is an invention of IRNA. Not even that "unidentified peace activist" says that. And German peace activists like attention, they don't go by "unidentified". Tomorrow IRNA will probably quote the German garbage guy (who comes from Iran btw). |

| #8 I really wonder what kind of German papers IRNA is reading. Can't find anything here and we have quite a choice when it comes to reading. Instead I read quite a lot about French and Russian dealings in Iraq and the German comments getting... shall I say... a bit chillier. Schroeder still is in deep trouble over the economy, his SPD party doesn't want any reforms and now the members are challenging him on a general party reunion taking place on June 1st. The Red-Green coalition might not survive this year. Angela Merkel isn't known to like the French government too much. |

| #7 Send in the Poles. It's dirty backroom deal time. The German's will be only too happy to back-stab the French if they're approached right. |

| #6 The Lefty Lackwit Boot-licking Appeasement Monkeys™ have taken over Germany. The more they talk, the more they marginalize themselves. Germany, France, and many other Old European countries have revealed themselves to be nothing but Socialvik regimes gasping like old cancerous geezers drifting in and out of a pre-death morphine-induced coma. Let's just hope that the rotting corpse of Old Europe doesn't stink up the world for too much longer. The German Peace Movement announced plans for holding nationwide demonstrations in the near future in solidarity with Iran and Syria while protesting America's pre-emptive war strategy, the German press reported on Monday. I SUPPORT FREE SPEECH FOR THE DUMB! It's the easiest way to single them out for ridicule. |

| #5 I really wish you'd be getting your information about Germany from something else than Iranian sources. |

| #4 Anything to take attention away from your crappy economy, right, Gerhard? |

| #2 Hey, this is new. A pre-emptive peace movement, planned even before the UN has debated the issue, whatever that may be. |

| #1 does gerhard offer peaceful options? we're quite eager to embrace those wrt Iran. BTW - i wonder how German public is reacting to news of Russian arms and intel cooperation in Iraq, and axis support for "dual-use" equipment. I'd love to see Schroeder go down and have US reach out to Chancellor Merkel. |
