Nations Seek World Order Centered on U.N., Not U.S. nytimes.com [ Just for this passing "you Germans" reference . . . ] The public opinion polls, showing such clear opposition in Europe to a war, ring of this same conviction. A poll published in the German newsweekly Der Spiegel showed 53 percent of the German public believing the United States to be the greatest threat to peace in the world, while only 27 percent cited Iraq. [ Er. Of course, on a strict logic basis, I don't know of anybody particularly expecting Iraq to initiate a war anytime soon, while many can't wait for that other country to kick things off. But I don't think you're supposed to answer polling questions based on logic when it might reflect badly on the leader of the free world. Clearly, somebody needs to explain the "War is Peace" thing better in Germany ]
