Europe's Return Re: your cover story "Where Did Europe Go?" [March 8]: This is the question that many Greek citizens like myself have been asking every day over the past few months. We were the 10th member state to join the idealized union of nations, which was supposed to unite us all under our common values and culture (which were most of them, incidentally, inspired by Hellenic heritage) in order to fight together for a better and fairer world.

Each foreign mission that includes the Bundeswehr - the German parliamentary army - is thus governed by a Bundestag mandate. In the case of Afghanistan...
...well that the Afghan mission is becoming deadlier. But on Wednesday, Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle warned against a hasty withdrawal, saying: "If we were to retreat on the spur of the moment now, Afghanistan would return to being a shelter for world terrorism in a very short time." The question remains, though: How many more casualties will an increasingly skeptical German public tolerate...
