Germans Just Want Bush To Go Away


BERLIN — The young anarchists, middle-aged peace activists and established left-wing politicians here have at least one thing in common: none bothered to keep a six-year tradition alive by organizing a protest against President Bush’s arrival here Tuesday.

President Bush arrived in Germany on Tuesday, where he was greeted by Chancellor Angela Merkel but, oddly, no protesters.

“Bush is not even popular in the role of the enemy anymore,” wrote Der Tagesspiegel newspaper.
