Germany needs not worry. There is a fuse, in the ME. I still have not got over the Iraki embassy takeover of early August. I wasn't attacking you but Schroeder. Had it been in ChIrak's land (hmm, mine), I would have cursed him in Arabic. I had hoped you'd shout to Schroeder that it took special troops months to takeover an embassy in Perou, the US 444 days to get their diplomats freed from Iran. And he took five hours. In August, during siesta hours! I hoped, I dreamed than within a day, another Iraki embassy would be taken over, then another, etc. Irakis would have invented a new way to freedom. One gets Nobels for less! So I am sad. Oh, coming to think of it, the embassy takeover could have saved our lives. But that's besides the point.
