I Hope That A German Foreign Policy

A Major Danger For Us Europeans: We Must Demonstrate That Those Who Have This View Of Us Are Mistaken, That We Can Come To Agreement, That We As A Community Of Democratic And Free Nations Are Economically Successful And Are Gaining Political Influence. To Do So, We Must Learn To Project Our Power.

What Could Become A Danger To World Peace Is Iran's Nuclear Program And The Country's Open Threat To Annihilate Israel.

We, The Social Democrats, Are Convinced That Capitalism Needs To Be Tamed A Second Time. The First Time We Achieved That In Germany For Many Decades With The Social Market Economy. That Is No Longer Enough. Now We Need To Do It In Europe And Even Globally.

Madame Merkel Knows Very Well That Her Conservative Christian Democratic Union Or Cdu, And The Csu, The Bavarian Sister Party To The Cdu, With Which It Shares Power Nationally, Must Change Their European Policies. The Fdp's Nationalist-liberal Position On Europe Is Presumably One Of The Reasons The Attempt Failed To Form A Jamaica Coalition Government Which Would Have Seen The Cdu, Fdp And Green Party Govern Together.

Maybe It Is The Last Chance For Europe To Influence Standards For World Trade. Next It Will Be Between The Us And The Asia-pacific Region.
