"What effect must it have on a nation if it learns no foreign languages? Probably much the same as that which a total withdrawal from society has upon an individual." --G.C. Lichtenberg
Does the Bush cabal have balls, or what? Richard Perle, über-hawk and über-administration insider, is on record in the German Handesblatt Daily suggesting that the best thing German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder can do to improve US-German relations is resign.
"It would be best if he (Schroeder) resigned. But he's obviously not going to do that," Pentagon adviser Richard Perle said in an interview with Wednesday's Handelsblatt daily, released ahead of publication.

Perle, a leading voice in U.S. efforts to oust Saddam Hussein, told Handelsblatt that Schroeder's stance on Iraq would set back Berlin's desire to win a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council "for a generation".
With innovative diplomatic initiatves like this, is it any wonder the whole world is lined up behind us to do our bidding?
