by David E. Sanger
BERLIN President George W. Bush stood in
the well of Germany's reconstructed
Reichstag on Thursday and called the
terrorist groups the United States and
its allies are hunting down the new
totalitarian threat, and in a clear
reference to Hitler, compared them to
others who killed in the name of
racial purity.
Bush's speech under
the spectacular glass dome of the Bundestag in the
symbol of a unified
Germany sought to reassure a skeptical audience about
his intentions as he
pursues his next steps against terrorism. During a news
conference, he
promised to consult with Germany and other allies before
taking action
against Iraq, but said, "We've got to deal with it."
The news conference
was held outdoors, at a government building just about a
kilometer from the
site of a cemetery where, 60 years ago, the city's Jews
were collected for
transport to the gas chambers.
The president's remarks, the first by any
president in the Reichstag
building, seemed well received, although his
appearance was punctuated at
one point by a demonstration by four members of
the former East German
Communist Party, who unveiled a banner that said "Stop
Your Wars" and then
marched out.
Bush celebrated Germany's
achievement, and all of Europe's, in the 13 years
since the Berlin Wall fell.
"Ours is the first generation in a hundred years
that does not expect and
does not fear the next European war," he said to
applause in the chamber,
where some of the harshest critics of his policies
largely listened
politely.
Bush used the opportunity to invoke the resoluteness of
Presidents John
Kennedy and Ronald Reagan in their visits to a divided
Berlin, and to make
his case that the United States and an expanded North
Atlantic Treaty
Organization, with Russia as a new partner, now face a new
mission: to
defeat regimes that may place nuclear, chemical or biological
weapons within
reach of terrorists.
"If these regimes and their
terrorist allies were to perfect these
capabilities, no inner voice of
reason, no hint of conscience would prevent
their use," he
said.
Turning to the Greens and others in the chamber who have protested
American
unilateral tendencies, he said, "Wishful thinking might bring
comfort, but
not security."
In one striking statement that seemed
certain to resound in this capital
where reminders of the city's Nazi past
are everywhere, Bush answered a
question about Saddam Hussein this way: "He's
a dangerous man. He's a
dictator who gassed his own people."
He
appeared at times to be invoking the lesson of the 1930s, when efforts
to
appease Hitler failed. And he made it clear that he did not plan to
repeat
the mistake.
"Call this a strategic challenge; call it, as I
do, the axis of evil," the
president said. "Call it by any name you choose,
but let us speak the
truth."
He added, "We must confront this
conspiracy against our liberty and against
our lives."
Going into his
20-hour visit here, Bush clearly knew that he faced a
skeptical audience,
both in the chamber and across Europe. He seemed to
adjust his tone to one of
gentle persuasion rather than argument.
He thanked Germany for its
contributions to the fight against the Taliban
and Al Qaeda, an action the
Bundestag authorized after some debate over the
first deployment of German
troops for battle since World War II.
Carrying the comparison to the next
step, he said, "Sept. 11 marked a change
of eras as dramatic as Pearl Harbor
or the first days of the Berlin
Blockade."
"The terrorists are
defended by their hatreds," he said. "They hate
democracy and tolerance and
free expression and women and Jews and
Christians and all Muslims who
disagree with them. Others killed in the name
of racial purity, or class
struggle. These enemies kill in the name of a
false religious
purity."
He carefully stepped around the most contentious subjects of
disagreement,
from his rejection of the Kyoto Protocol on global warming, to
his refusal
to sign the treaty creating the International Criminal Court, to
his
decisions to aid American steelmakers by placing large tariffs
on
foreign-made steel.
As he spoke, Bush's wife, Laura, who has been
touring Europe in recent days,
and members of his foreign-policy team sat in
the sleek glass and metal
galleries that give the home of the Bundestag an
airy modern look inside the
walls of the 108-year-old Reichstag
building.
Also along for the trip, which will include Russia, France and
Italy, were
Karen Hughes, the influential counselor who is leaving the White
House this
summer to return to Texas, and, notably, Karl Rove, whose presence
seemed to
underscore the expansion of his domestic political portfolio to
more global
matters.
Bush and his team quickly received a lesson in
the politics of modern
Europe. No sooner had they entered the chamber than
Bush was both welcomed
and directly challenged by the president of the
Bundestag, Wolfgang Thierse,
a member of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's own
Social Democrats.
Thierse, complimenting the American president for
taking the time to
assemble a coalition to fight terrorism, said, "Your
reaction to Sept. 11
proved that all those were wrong who thought a new
American unilateralism
was emerging."
But then Thierse warned, in a
comment clearly aimed at the visiting
president, that the need for such
coalitions extended to other arenas.
"The pursuit of unilateralist
interests proves short-sighted more and more
frequently," he said, urging
Bush to "continue together on the road mapped
out by the Kyoto Protocol," and
to ratify the international court treaty.
Bush made it clear that he had
no intention of reconsidering his opposition
to the Kyoto
agreement.
In his whirlwind tour here, Bush did no sight-seeing, his
motorcade speeding
to a sealed-off central-city area, past both the reminders
of the Nazi era
and the cranes that are creating a new Berlin in the spaces
left after the
Wall tumbled.
He acknowledged at one point Thursday
morning his frustration at not seeing
more and not speaking to ordinary
Germans - the closest he came was an
invitation-only crowd at a restaurant,
where he had dessert with Schroeder
on Wednesday night.
But he said,
"That's life in the bubble of security that surrounds
a
president."

The Bush Family
and the Jews
April 17 - ***
Starting with accusations that Prescott
Bush was a Nazi collaborator before
Pearl Harbor, the Bush dynasty has
generally been viewed with suspicion and
at times outright hostility by
Jewish Americans. The elder President Bush
outraged the Jewish community with
a series of perceived insults. Before he
became president, the younger Bush,
who once expressed doubt about whether
non-Christians could get into heaven,
seemed likely to follow in the family
tradition.
THE FAMILY
TREE
The charges against Sen. Prescott Bush, the grandfather of the
current
president, went beyond the disdain for Jews and discriminatory
practices
that were characteristic of New England WASP culture in his day.
Prescott
Bush was a director of a New York bank where rich Germans who
supported the
Nazis stashed millions in personal wealth. He was still a
director at the
bank, Union Banking Corp., when its assets were frozen under
the Trading
With the Enemy Act in 1941 - a fact that has provided endless
fodder for
leftists and conspiracy theorists since it came to light in the
1990s.
George Herbert Walker Bush shared the same exclusionary pedigree
as his
father, starting with Yale and the secret society Skull & Bones,
and had
extensive ties to Arabs though the oil industry as well.
*** Reagan was the first Republican in 80 years to win a
sizable
share of the Jewish vote. There were a variety of reasons for this,
but the
key issue was Reagan's hard line on the defense of Israel, which
he
considered a crucial democratic outpost in the fight against
Soviet
communism. In the 1980 election, Jimmy Carter won 45 percent of the
Jewish
vote. Reagan won 39 percent.

By RICHARD JOHNSON with PAULA FROELICH and CHRIS Bush granddad's Nazi
'link'
"PEOPLE with a pathological hatred of President Bush will stop at
nothing to
slime his family. An obscure magazine has gone all the way back to
World War
II to claim a supposed connection between his grandfather and a
mining
company that allegedly used slave labor at Auschwitz. Clamor
magazine
reports that Dubya's granddad, Prescott Bush, managed the Union
Banking
Corp., whose portfolio included the Silesian American Corp. The
article
cites a 1942 newspaper story linking Bush to Nazi-funding
German
industrialist Fritz Thyssen. In 1943, Bush resigned from the bank and
later
chaired the National War Fund. Clamor claims that in 1951, Bush used
the
$1.5 million he made from UBC stock to set up his son, former
President
George Bush, in business. The next year, Prescott Bush won election
as U.S.
senator from Connecticut. He died of cancer in 1972. Best-selling
author
Kitty Kelley - who has done stinging bios on Frank Sinatra and
Elizabeth
Taylor - is said to be rehashing the charges in her upcoming tome
about the
Bush dynasty."

Last of two

"Prescott Bush was surely aghast at a sensational article the New
York
Herald Tribune splashed on its front page in July 1942.
"Hitler's
Angel Has 3 Million in US Bank," read the headline above a story
reporting
that Adolf Hitler's financier had stowed the fortune in Union
Banking Corp.,
possibly to be held for "Nazi bigwigs."
Bush knew all about the New York
bank: He was one of its seven directors. If
the Nazi tie became known, it
would be a potential "embarrassment," Bush and
his partners at Brown Brothers
Harriman worried, explaining to government
regulators that their position was
merely an unpaid courtesy for a client.
The situation grew more serious when
the government seized Union's assets
under the Trading with the Enemy Act,
the sort of action that could have
ruined Bush's political dreams.
As it
turned out, his involvement wasn't pursued by the press or
political
opponents during his Senate campaigns a decade later. But the
episode may
well have been one of the catalysts for a dramatic change in his
life. Just
as the Union Banking story broke, Bush volunteered to be chairman
of United
Service Organizations, putting himself on the national stage for
the first
time. He traveled the country raising millions of dollars to help
boost the
morale of US troops during World War II, enhancing his stature in a
way that
helped him get elected US senator. A son and grandson would
become
presidents."
"The Bush family fortune came from the Third
Reich." -John Loftus,
former US Justice Dept. Nazi War Crimes investigator
and President of the
Florida Holocaust Museum quoted in the Sarasota
Herald-Tribune 11/11/2000
