Der Spiegel reports on the controversy in Germany over U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, particularly an October 4 strike that killed a German citizen of Turkish extraction in Waziristan. One member of the Bundestag said: "Barack Obama is not God, able to freely decide about life and death," he says. "Nevertheless he behaves like an Old Testament God who kills people as he sees fit with fire and brimstone."
It is an understatement to say that Conservatives have many problems with the current Administration's policies. But to his credit, President Obama has stayed on the offensive against al Qa'ida. Unlike those who sided with European leftists in labeling President Bush a war criminal, all Americans should strongly condemn such ridiculous statements about an American president.
