...many failures is mind boggling. The future is clear: the Administration will continue barreling along, arrogantly pushing its failed special-interest agenda, while the sheep (the American public) are herded off the cliff. Lorraine Huzar Jericho, New York, U.S. Does Kerry really think Jacques Chirac and Gerhard Schröder would be so enchanted with him that they would immediately embrace the U.S. and send their troops to Iraq? Kerry is either incredibly naive or misleading his constituency. Charles G. Kormendy Frankfurt The upcoming U.S. presidential election is a matter of interest to the world outside America. Recent events have...

...Those concerns touched a nerve in Saxony, where unemployment in places tops 20%. The NPD won 9.2% of the vote and took 12 seats in the state parliament, its best showing in more than three decades and a dramatic setback for the country's main political parties, Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's Social Democrats (SPD) and the opposition Christian Democrats (CDU). The CDU lost its absolute majority in Saxony's parliament and will now have to form a coalition to run the state, while the SPD won only 9.8% of the vote and took just one more seat than...

A week earlier, during a visit to Tunisia, he called on all other coalition countries to pull...

...before elections. Aznar won't testify until October. Zapatero said last week he would be willing to testify if called, though he told TIME he thought the request "verges on the ridiculous" since he sees the commission's remit as probing the terrorist attack, not the election. Chirac and Schröder don't see involvement in Iraq as a litmus test for antiterrorist resolve. But both their governments reacted with notable reserve when Zapatero called the U.S. occupation "a disaster" and "a huge mistake," then yanked his troops, just as France and Germany were seeking to lower the temperature...

...people," he says - and his message resonates among voters in eastern Germany. With two state elections in the east this Sunday, the PDS is expected to perform better than at any time since German reunification in 1990. That could position the PDS as a left alternative to Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's struggling Social Democrats, with potentially disastrous consequences for the ruling party in the 2006 general election. When Bisky took over the PDS last year, the party was in disarray. In the 2002 parliamentary elections, the PDS dropped from 36 seats in the Bundestag to just two. Bisky...
