UNIVERSALLY STUPID PARTY:

Germany's conservatives attack Schroeder on Iran (Reuters, Aug 14, 2005)

Germany's conservative opposition said on Sunday Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's warnings against using military force to make Iran give up its nuclear program risked undermining international solidarity for electoral gain.

"The Chancellor is creating the fatal impression in Tehran that the world community is not united anymore," Wolfgang Schaeuble, senior foreign policy specialist of the opposition Christian Democrats told the daily Die Welt.

"In doing so, he is accepting the consequence that the danger of an Iranian atom bomb will grow," he said, according to an extract of an article from Monday's edition.

Comforting to see that conservatives are the stupid party everywhere--what could be dumber that summoning Germans to an international responsibility whewn they just want to be left to die off in peace?
