Ultimately, it is obvious and unfortunate that the Bush administration has taken this opportunity to deflect some of the responsibility for the U.S.’s pathetic image abroad, blaming a mainstream magazine for international sentiments that have taken years to cultivate. It is regrettable that Newsweek printed a story with false claims, but it is ridiculous to impute upon them blame for the sorry state of the American image. But to focus blame solely on Newsweek and the Bush administration for the recent riots is to overlook the actions of those who participated in the violence following...

...removal, the investors also picked off Rolf Breuer, the chairman of the supervisory board, who said he would quit before year's end. Many Germans were taken aback by the sight of heads rolling at the exchange - a symbol of German capitalism - but not all believed "locusts" were to blame. Reinhild Keitel of Schutzgemeinschaft der Kapitalanleger, a German minority shareholders group, describes Müntefering's interventions as "an absolutely scandalous election ploy." Dieter Hundt, president of the Confederation of German Employers' Associations, fears the debate will prove "extremely damaging" to the country's international image. "What's happening currently...
