"It is simply not wise to carelessly endanger a partnership that has been so important to us with such irresponsible comments," said Karsten Voigt, the government's coordinator for German-American affairs

What am I as an American citizen, to make of comments like "the U.N. weapons inspectors should continue their work and be given more time" and "we should finish with Afghanistan and Al Qu'eda"?

What this sounds like to me is, "We do not really care if these weapons fall into the hands of terrorists, nor do we care if Saddam Hussein completes his work on a nuclear weapon. What we care about is our $366 million Euros we get out of Iraq every year. If thousands of you Americans die in some kind of attack, we will send you our condolences... but surely the $366 million Euros are more important than your lives."

Then after telling me that, you tell me we have some kind of partnership. I say to Hell with you.

Seems to me that alot of Europeans, deep in their pessimistic, fatalist hearts, were more or less OK with Sept. 11 .

With "friends" like the Europeans, who needs enemies? sheesh
