Kai Diekmann, Chefredakteur der BILD- Zeitung hat ein Interview mit George W. Bush geführt. Dabei sagt der mächtigste Mann der Welt auch was er von Deutschland und den Deutschen hält. Auszüge davon:
THE PRESIDENT: I’ve come to realize that the nature of the German people are such that war is very abhorrent, that Germany is a country now that is — no matter where they sit on the political spectrum, Germans are — just don’t like war. And I can understand that. There’s a generation of people who had their lives torn about because of a terrible war.
THE PRESIDENT: I am — look, I mean, Germans have always been incredibly efficient, capable businesspeople, and when they make a product, it is always of the highest of quality. The only thing that interests me about Germany is — it’s not bothersome, but it’s just a challenge for Germany — is the absorption of East and West, and the difficult assignment it is to really help the Eastern Germany develop an economy that will be able to give people hope. But, again, I have great respect for Germany.
Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall das ganze Interview zu lesen, ebenso wie das Interview von Sabine Christiansen mit dem US-Präsidenten.
