    from die WELT:
    by Jeffrey Gedmin, Director, Aspen Institute Berlin
    After attending in Paris recently a meeting of pro-democracy Syrians, I returned sheepishly to Berlin. That’s because I have the strong impression that a majority of Germans think like Peter Scholl Latour, namely that a) the Middle East does not want democracy; b) the outside world could not help anyway; and c) that the Amis should definitely not interfere.
    I always wondered why Chancellor Schroeder would pile on his (…)

It explains how the US (…)

The arrest and subsequent "rescue" of two British SAS agents provocateur has made evident what has until now been widely rumored on the Iraq street: that the American and British occupation forces are engaging in covert acts of terror in order to maintain chaos and perpetuate the occupation.
    This is not surprising. Since late 2002 it’s been reported (UPI, Los Angeles Times and elsewhere) (…)
