Re: We should have let the Soviets have Paris in exchange for Berlin. OOoops.... Germany joins criticism of Bush Steven Erlanger The New York Times Wednesday, February 13, 2002 Fischer warns U.S. not to act alone against nations like Iraq BERLIN The German foreign minister, Joschka Fischer, warned the Bush administration Tuesday not to treat its allies like satellite states in some new empire or move unilaterally against states like Iraq. Fischer thereby added a prominent German voice to a new wave of anxious continental criticism of Washington's post-Afghanistan foreign policy. Fischer, a Green with a strong pro-American reputation, joined his French counterpart, Hubert Vedrine, in slamming the "simplistic" language of President George W. Bush in his State of the Union address, in which he described an "axis of evil" made up of Iran, Iraq and North Korea. "The international coalition agains terror is not the foundation to carry out just anything against anybody, and particularly not on one's own," Fischer said, referring to Iraq. "All the European foreign ministers see it that way," he said in a long interview with the conservative German daily Die Welt. "Because of that, the expression 'axis of evil' does not take us further," Fischer said. "Throwing Iran, North Korea and Iraq into one pot. Where should that lead us?" The Europeans are concerned about the Bush administration's policy toward the Middle East, which they regard as too heavily tilted toward the Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, and too dismissive of the embattled Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat. But the Europeans are most worried about how the Bush administration will choose to prosecute the war on terrorism after Afghanistan. [snip] iht.com
