#1 Gerhard looks willing to sacrifice American-German long term relations in order to get re-elected, and the people seem willing to go along..we'll probably see the drawdown of US forces in Germany, sent to the Gulf, and not replaced. Let the German economy support their social give-aways AND self-defense expenses. We no longer need each other, and it's become obvious that NATO is a one-way relationship (except for, surprisingly to me, Tony Blair's Britain - hail Brittania!). Let the EUniks chatter themselves to death, rant and rave about the US Cowboy, just get out of our way and don't expect favors from us

#2 Someplace I read that we have 70,000 troops in Europe, mostly Germany, with dependants, all spending loads of American dollars. Do the Germans really want to see their economy take a bigger slide than it already has by pissing us off and we take all our toys and go home?

#3 Screw Germany. The main US presence in Germany is V Corps and 3rd Air Force. That's a starggeringly potent force, which would go through Saddam's cockroach army like prunes through a short Granny.

Germany needs to be taught the price of its moral equivocation.
