LB, if this latest German opinion poll is accurate, then count me in with the "NATO is dead" crowd. I'm throwing in the towel. Paradigm shift, indeed. Poll: Germans Believe U.S. a Nation of Warmongers news.yahoo.com BERLIN (Reuters) - A majority of Germans believe the United States is a nation of warmongers and only six percent think President Bush (news - web sites) is interested in keeping the peace, according to a survey published Monday. The poll by the respected Forsa institute, published in the Financial Times Deutschland newspaper, also found 97 percent of those questioned believed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) was ready to go to war. The survey found 57 percent agreed with the statement: "The United States is a nation of warmongers." German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has angered the Bush administration with his outspoken opposition to a war in Iraq, a position that has widespread backing in Germany where six million people were killed during World War II. Tens of thousands of Germans have taken part in anti-war rallies in recent weeks. The survey of 1,843 Germans found 93 percent believed Bush was ready to go to war in pursuit of his interests, while 80 percent said the United States wanted war to boost its power. The poll also found 89 percent believed Schroeder was a "friend of peace."
