...them unpredictability is a code word for the dangers they see in a larger Germany with a larger role in the economic and political life of Europe, perhaps eventually with its own nuclear arsenal. The same anxiety motivates Czechoslovakia's playwright-President Vaclav Havel, Poland's Solidarity Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki and many politicians in Western Europe. If they accept Bush's idea of NATO uber alles, it will be as a hedge against the resurgence of a malevolent Deutschland. But will the government and citizens of a unified Germany accept that idea?

...refusing to guarantee the Polish borders, Kohl allowed much of the world to point the finger and say, See, there they go again. As Polish Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki told TIME last week, "All the recent ambiguous statements on the issue have convinced us that we are correct in demanding that the border be confirmed before Germany's unification...

British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has given broad hints of her feelings. At a dinner at 10 Downing Street in honor of Polish Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki last week, she said the developments in Europe "may stir deeply felt anxieties." Poland and Britain alike "have had experiences in this century which have left their mark and which we are determined should not happen again." Although Thatcher assured Genscher later in the week that she will support...
