>> BERLIN (December 28, 1999 6:30 p.m. EST
>> http://www.nandotimes.com) - Europe must act more like a single
>> country if it wants to challenge U.S. economic and political
>> dominance, German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said Tuesday.
>>
>> Asked in a television interview whether the United States lacked
>> consideration for its allies, Schroeder said: "Yes, that
>> certainly is so.
>>
>> "There is a risk of America looking inward because of its huge
>> economic power and its huge political weight, and it would be
>> regrettable if that process continues."
>>
>> But European nations have to do their part by uniting behind
>> common goals, Schroeder said, noting the 15-nation European
>> Union's decision this year to appoint a senior diplomat as a
>> first step toward a hoped-for joint foreign policy.
>>
>> "Whining about U.S. dominance doesn't help. We have to act,"
>> Schroeder said in the interview with Phoenix public TV.
>>
>> He portrayed Germany as a European power with growing
>> self-confidence, underscoring a more assertive tone in foreign
>> affairs that sets Schroeder apart from his predecessor, Helmut
>> Kohl.
>>
>> "The old theory of Germany as an economic giant but a political
>> midget was over with German unification" in 1990, Schroeder
>> said.
>>
>> Germany needs to show "measured self-confidence" while remaining
>> conscious of its Nazi past, said Schroeder, the first German
>> chancellor with no personal memory of World War II
