Dennis,

I am wondering who is talking bullshit here. The Greens were beside SPD
bomber Scharping the most vocal _supporters_ of the war. Their Pravada
called taz had more or less the same line as the Guardian. Fischer was
ridiculed here as Madelaine Albrights pet. At a party convention opposition
to the war was voted down with a sound majority.
