Germany Should Break With Tradition
Guido Westerwelle, leader of the new governments coalition partner FDP, should break with tradition and not become foreign minister but finance minister instead. ++ Westerwelle lacks experience in foreign policy "and his public statements on international issues do not add up to a coherent Weltanschauung." ++ In contrast, the FDP leader has good ideas and a strong position on economic policy and "if Westerwelle is serious about tax reform, he should install himself in the finance ministry and see it through if he can."
