Germany’s gone to war, again. Although technically illegal, except for defence, the government found a way to circumcise the German constitution. Thus, Germany has been free – free according to Schröder – to become somebody and bomb.

Mr Obama, the peace president, as well as the German historian Michael Wolffsohn, also call upon the just war. There’s always been a just war, and, never mind its victims.

However, it is a few Germans who come up with a proper and definition – the necessary war legalises killing, the just war justifies its victims, its cripples and bodies – and who, truly, show the world how to lead a just war: You fight with the weapons of the enemy.

Whilst the Taliban use suicide bombers, the Schröder/Merkel crew use kidnappings. As soon as there are enough Taliban with the kidnappers, you just throw a bomb. What’s left is collateral damage – it’s a pity, though, that the tankers couldn’t be saved and we have to be sorry for our own victims – but, relatively, it’s a successful victory.

You just wonder, whether the German soldiers, contractors and volunteers know that they may be used as bait in the just war. And Obama and Wolffsohn stand by with tears in their eyes, Sieg h… – sorry, wrong moment in history – it’s: Yes, we can.
