Interesting Outcome

The German election results look confusing....

BERLIN
Exit polls showed conservative challenger Angela Merkel's party leading in German parliamentary elections Sunday, but falling short of the majority she needs to form a center-right coalition even as voters ousted Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's government.

How long do they have to form a coalition? What if they cannot form a coalition government?

Perhaps they will solicit our support while we are there. Bribery (in the form of a beer) is always welcome. ;-)

I've been following this, and the Afghan elections today.

In the German elections, this post seems to think somedeep dissatisfaction. There might be more than a few beers drunk in this dialog amoung Germans. Maybe we'll be a beneficiary, although I suspect few want American ideas in Germany.
