France and Germany take their distance. Encouraging signs that at least some European governments are distancing themselves from the Wolfowitz nomination. German development minister Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul said "the enthusiasm in old Europe is not exactly overwhelming." French foreign minister Michel Barnier said: "it's a proposal. We shall examine it in the context of the personality of the person you mention and perhaps in view of other candidates." The British government, however has made more positive noises. Foreign minister Jack Straw said "this is a nomination by the United States government. Paul Wolfowitz is very distinguished and experienced internationally and if his appointment is confirmed we look forward to working with him." Just two weeks ago Straw was strongly lobbying for Powell. Alex Wilks ~ March 16, 2005
