SOME IN THE U.S. WERE OFFENDED BY YOUR SPEECH ABOUT WEAKNESSES IN THE TRANSATLANTIC ALLIANCE. I wanted to establish more common ground in the transatlantic relationship through NATO, the E.U. and all the other institutions that exist between the U.S. and Germany. We are not just ready to discuss questions of military importance but go further into a real strategic dialogue on questions such as climate change, international terrorism, nonproliferation and aid to Africa.

Here's a rule of diplomacy: when the blindingly obvious becomes controversial, you've got a problem. If political leaders were sitting down to discuss potential hot spots in Asia, it would be hard to avoid concluding that the Taiwan Strait was one of them. On one side of the waterway is Taiwan, whose democratically elected leader speaks of it as a sovereign state. On the other side is China, which regards Taiwan as no more than a renegade province, and has vowed to prevent, by force if need be, any formal declaration of independence by Taipei.
