INTERVIEW WITH STRUCK

German Defense Minister Peter Struck has an interview in Sunday's Tagesspiegel. The interview is noteworthy for the (very Berlin-like) sarcasm of the interviewers. Plus, Struck tries to minimize the post-Iraq differences between Germany and the U.S., while noting German efforts to increase European defense capabilities, in part to "unburden" the U.S. I'd give some translations but I'm starting to get a really bad conscience about procrastinating on my taxes. I have to wade through forms for NY, MD and the IRS. Argh.
