I Hope Gunter Grass Will Continue Helping The Spd In Campaigns And That He Will Otherwise Remain With Us As A Provocative Literary Figure, As Well.

Those Who Reject Integration Programs In The Long Term Have As Little Right To Stay In Germany As A Hate Preacher Paid From Abroad In A Mosque.

In The Past, Germany Could Rely On The French, The British And, Especially, The Americans, To Assert Our Interests In The World. We Have Always Criticized The U.s. For Being The Global Police, And It Was Often Appropriate To Do So. But We Are Now Seeing What Happens When The U.s. Pulls Back. If The U.s. Leaves The Room, Other Powers Immediately Walk In. In Syria, It's Russia And Iran. In Trade Policy, It's China. These Examples Show That, Ultimately, We Are No Longer Achieving Either - Neither The Dissemination Of Our European Values Nor The Advancement Of Our Interests.
