Read Shröder's comments since they represent the opinions of most of America's closest friends.

The German Chancellor has now changed his mind - maybe because so many other American 'friends' are quietly saying same to him. Notice comments normally made by countries such as France are instead coming from a country that usually remains quiet and most suportive of the US position even when they don't fully agree with that American position. It demonstrates how poor Geroge Jr has support even among America's closest friends.
Shröder will now oppose any UN support for an Iraq attack AND will not support any attack even if approved by the UN. Read why he takes that position in the NY Times article.
