Hi Joel, everything is related to everything right now, including the
incredible seriousness with which we all have to contend. I think Germany

"smaller" countries, more than the US could...or did.

What do you think of Rumsfeld pointing out the UN line up with Libya heading
human rights and Iraq heading disarmament of WMDs. Germany legislating on
morality is a legitimate concern, based on its still recent history.
