    Conservative Leader Merkel to Become German Chancellor

    When asked how she felt about the seemingly certain prospect of becoming chancellor, a tired-looking Merkel smiled and responded: "I'm doing well. I'm in a good mood, but I have a lot of work ahead of me."

    The presumed chancellor did not elaborate on foreign policy, but indicated she would strengthen relations with the U.S. that have been strained over German opposition to the Iraq war. "That doesn't mean we have to agree on every issue," Merkel said referring to Washington. "But there needs to be a good trustful relationship."

    Merkel's ascension marks the final weeks of Schroeder's seven years in office. An affable leader with a fondness for crisp suits and cigars, Schroeder began reforming Germany's vast welfare state but failed to reduce high unemployment and bolster the economy.

    Landwehr, that was the word I couldn't think of. Not that it matters. And why this hatred for France? I have been, and yes, they are arrogant assholes, but i believe this contempt for France stems mostly from the fact that they were right, and you were wrong. Sorta like Diem Bien Phu.
