LIBYA - The head of German diplomacy in the trap of forbearance

The German foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle (FDP, Liberal), "looking at all costs to make a name in the field of foreign policy, even at the cost of the country's isolation," denounces the Süddeutsche Zeitung on his online site, following the failure of Germany to the Security Council of UN on Libya.

"Against the despots, we can not abstain. Germany would have had to adopt the resolution. Westerwelle argued so terribly naive when it says that Germany can assist in all the world's conflicts Sudan, Bahrain, Côte d'Ivoire. Do not wear anywhere relief does not bear no help, says the daily Munich, especially as Libya is a direct neighbor of the EU.

The country has large reserves of gas and oil, in addition to strategic importance. But this does not seem concerned about the foreign minister and vice chancellor. "And the newspaper concluded:" This is a particularly populist in this busy year in regional elections in Germany, which allows him to score perhaps points in the polls, but he does not gain credibility.

Especially if the situation worsens, Germany can not escape at least indirect involvement in a possible NATO intervention in Libya. "
