Could Bush Be Right? -- Take Two

Thursday Der Spiegel asked this question the first time. And concluded, yes, Bush is right.

Friday, Der Spiegel asks the question again. And again the answer is yes.

Diplomacy, Bush seemed to be saying, can -- and perhaps should -- work like a friendship. Tell your friend when you think he or she is straying. But at the same time, show your commitment to the foundation of the relationship.

Chancellor Schroeder should take the lesson to heart.

Nice to see their paying attention.
