Schröder interview

The duty of friends is not just to agree with everything, but to say, `We disagree on this point.’  That is what I believe to be the duty of friends in relations between individuals, just as it is in relations between nations, if one happens to disagree.  And on this point” — Iraq — “we disagree, or I disagree.”

Read a short but informative NYTimes article on German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder’s position regarding the U.S. and Iraq.  (By the way, can you imagine a U.S. political leader giving a high-profile interview while smoking a cigar?  How’s that for a more laid-back culture?)
