german language, but if you can understand written German, this is a worthy reading by one of Germany's smartest political thinkers after WWII.
http://debatte.welt.de/kommentare/21...tikers?print=1 A very great (and long) basic speech by Helmut Schmidt, on politic's relation to terms like ethics, religion, reason, conscience, peace and compromise. I had written some comments on where I agree (almost all) and disagree (in principal only on his acceptance for christian hetitage not mentiined in the Eu consitution, and his (U-turned?) view of islam (about which he had much more pessimism to express in the past), and collected some quotes - but then, like so often, browser and forum software collided one more time and deleted all any everything, so you will need to live without a summary of the highlights. Except this, which illustrates why I hold Schmidt in such high regard, since he has followed consistently his own demands he sums up here. Most politicians I could name today fail in this, and often fail miserably: Quote:
