Germany condemns Annan's Iraq view
German politicians from across the political spectrum have reacted strongly to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan's recent comments on Iraq. Annan has said Iraq is in the middle of civil war, and that Iraqi people are worse off now than they were under Saddam Hussein. The CDU party's foreign politics expert Eckart von Klaeden has called Annan's comments cynical and dangerous. Social Democrat Hans Ulrich Klose has said life for people in Iraq has completely changed now that they're free from a dictator, and the FDP's Wolfgang Gerhardt has called Annan's comments simply out of the question.
