Blair is under a lot of pressure from the Left (his natural inclination). Germany is holding its elections this September. I think Stroibel (sp?), the conservative, is holding up well against Schroeder. The latest unemployment figures for Germany are close to 10% so there is a good chance that Stroibel could win the election. If he does, then Germany will be on board with the US...I think.

According to my sister, many are dissatified with Schroeder
