Here at the Munich Security Conference, where strategists of the U.S. and Europe meet each year to smooth out strains, Fischer was surprised again: Germany's new opposition leader, the Thatcheresque Angela Merkel, joined the defining issue as her conservative party's past candidate had failed to do. She said of the anti-Saddam op-ed: "if we had been in government, Germany would have signed that letter."

You heard that from me weeks ago. Schröder won by a razor-thin margin of 6000 votes. With Stoiber as chancellor there wouldn't be any of the current US-German strains. Stoiber would play an Aznar-type of role. Latest polls are CDU (conservatives) 58%, SPD (social democrats) 22% - I have never experienced such an extreme distribution before.
