German opposition leader Under fire for pro-U.S. stance
Angela Merkel, the leader of the Christian Democratic Union, stands behind the United States in its war against Iraq. But many members of the party do not, and they have let her know it - Deutsche Welle reports. Comments
It's impressive that she would even vocalize that position in Germany and coming from the Christian Democrat portion of the political spectrum. I wonder if it will mean the end of her political career? Posted by: zombyboy at March 31, 2003 03:51 PMAren't the Christian Democrats the center-right party? This doesn't seem like a surprising stance to me. Posted by: Bruce H R at March 31, 2003 04:06 PMGive em hell, Angie!
