...keep jobs in Germany, higher wages are not in sight. So I hope for an even bigger export boom that might create new jobs, because before that happens, only the tourists can increase consumption in Germany. Jessica Neumann Berlin Exonerating Blair In your story on the conclusions of Lord Butler's report - that Tony Blair took Britain to war on a false premise but should nonetheless be absolved from blame [July 26] - you included a photo of an antiwar protester's banner that read BLAIR LIED, THOUSANDS DIED.

This was the exquisitely balanced verdict of Robin Butler, Britain's former chief civil servant, whose supple mind, service to five Prime Ministers and intimacy with Whitehall folkways fully earn him the title of mandarin. And so Blair made yet another miraculous escape - wounded, yet still alive for now. Mandarins don't gun down Prime Ministers. In a 160-page report...
