Re: Anyway, have you heard anything about Daniel Cohn-Bendit lately? Is he contacting German Greens over jurisdiction in cases of havary in international seas, and consequent oil disasters? Daniel Cohn-Bendit kept mute over the 'TotalFina' (actually, TotalFina was the charterer --I don't recall the ship's name) tanker wreck off France's Norman coast. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, I've not heard him yet. I suspect that part of his reason not to show off on that issue is to allow his fellow Green politico, Ms. Dominique Voynet, to handle what has become a national crisis. Regards, Gus.

Re: Foreign policy is background music, although it adds to the public image of any top politician to be active in 'international affairs'. I'm afraid that *Europe* is not merely background Muzak.... Any European issue for almost any European country is... well, a European issue! Foreign policy, especially for France and Germany, doesn't include European geopolitics: the enlargement of Europe to Eastern countries (or Turkey), the euro and its monitoring by the ECB, along with the red tape relentlessly issued by "Brussels" (ie the Eurocracy HQ) cannot be put on an equal footing with Zimbabwe, the Congolese snafu, the gyrations of the Indonesian rupee, and the WTO congresses!
