Ex-German chancellor warns of growing rift between US and Europe
"France and Germany's `no' to the Iraq war made clear what conservative America thinks of an independent Europe: nothing," Schroeder said. He added that there are US politicians who prefer to see a Europe which is at odds with one another. The politician stressed that the orientation of values between young Americans and Europeans are "increasingly diverging."
On the US fiasco in Iraq, Schroeder made clear that America "can win a war by itself but not the peace.To win the peace, you need partners, not only in the trans-Atlantic alliance but also partners in the region." Schroeder also highlighted Russia's crucial global role in establishing peace, specificially in the volatile Mideast region.
