The responsibility for a parliamentary decision should be vested in the parliamentary majority that supported it. But it was a one man run to the end in only 48 hours to turn around all the cabinet and the great parliamentary majority (but not me). Just wars are a difficult topic, especially when realizability of the goals is taken appropiately into account. I acknowledge it as an act of political elegance how well, given the decision to send troops at all, the selection of circumstances has been done. Paramedics have the best status of training inside our army, putting them under U.N. control balances (a little bit) the lack of U.N. justification in our Kosovo escapades, and deployment in Darwin alleviates the strongest concerns about their security - knowing we would have no capabilities of reenforcing them once they are attacked. I do not know exactly what kind of reform catholic Joschka Fischer is now, but in general you might figure that is not the kind of guy that feels friendly for Pius XII, John Paul II, or Fulda's bishop John Dyba. Rather Ernesto Cardenal, base church communities of Latin America, or maybe even Che Guevara. But it is also some fifteen+ year's back that any relation to Cardenal was reasonable. I think Fischer's catholic background was crucial for understanding that Bishop Belo's visit could turn out as a welcome opportunity for PR. As I am a well-meaning person: I wish that something positive can be won out of the German participation in Interfet in the end. Regards MNI. EDIT: The troops will reach their deployment place within ten days from now.
