¶1. Lead Stories Summary
Editorials focused on the Obama visit to Europe and Iraq and on the
decline of the baby boomlet in Germany. The papers focused on a
wide range of headlines ranging from the extension of the junk car
bonus to reports that doctors assisted in CIA interrogations that
are being characterized by ICRC as torture. ZDF-TV's early evening
newscast Heute and ARD-TV's early evening newscast Tagesschau opened
with reports on the aftermath of the earthquake in Italy.
¶2. Obama Visit To Turkey
In a front-page editorial Frankfurter Allgemeine remarks: "Those in
the Islamic world who are interested in closer relations to the
western world have particularly waited for the promise of a new
beginning out of the mouth of an American President. Barack Obama
might have wanted to strengthen those who are under attack because
of their close relations to America, by his announcement to create a
new relationship between the U.S. and the Muslim world.... Of
course, America does not lead a war against Islam, not in
Afghanistan and not in Iraq. The fact that Obama stated in the
Turkish parliament this obvious thing shows how bad America's
relations to the Islamic world are. Arab regimes remained closely
connected to the Bush government. However, they were annoyed about
its policies on Israel, the Iraq war, and the democracy propaganda.
The people in the streets were also outraged about it. Obama wants
to repair this damaged relationship.... How many concessions will
Obama actually make to Muslims without becoming subservient? There
will not be a radical change in America's policy on Israel.... Does
he want to make Turkey's EU membership the most important criteria
for the western-Islamic relations? ... There are common interests
and there are differences between the West and the Islamic world,
which are based in their societies. However, a dialogue with
Jihadists and Islamists who hate America will not work."
Sueddeutsche comments: "American President Obama buried his
predecessor's unfortunate idea of an unlimited world war against
Islamist terrorism. He assured all Muslims in the world during his
speech in Turkey that the U.S. would never be the enemy of Islam....
George Bush and his willing European partners stirred up many bad
feelings. It will not be easy to overcome this legacy, also because
those in power and the underdogs do not naturally share interests.
A peaceful coexistence for all sides involved, as during the Cold
War, is a reachable first goal. To get there, Western opinion
leaders should know what not to do: It is absolutely wrong to force
moderate groups in the Islamic world to close ranks with
fundamentalists by acting arrogantly and criticizing everybody
across the board. Also Muslims who are unsatisfied with their
religious leaders do not like moralizing undertones.... An American
President whose middle name is Hussein has an advantage here."
Nuernberger Zeitung commented: "In Ankara, Obama suggested that his
support for a united Europe might not have been meant so seriously
because the emphatic demand that the EU must accept Turkey as a
member would disintegrate the EU. It also shows that Obama was, in
this respect, not somebody who wanted to learn something, but who
believed to know it better, like his predecessor."
¶3. Obama Visit Wrap Up
ZDF-TV's Heute-Journal notes: "Obama demonstrated one thing during
the recent diplomatic marathon: America wants to accept the rules
of the game again. Sobriety instead of arrogance.... The price for
the partners is that they will be expected to share more of the
burden."
Frankfurter Allgemeine noted that after President Obama's first trip
that "Americans and Europeans have a clearer understanding of each
other," and added: "The audience liked Barack Obama's debut in the
world, although there were also some weary and critical voices. The
most interesting detail of the tour was probably the fact that, on
the one side, Obama presented himself as the representative of a
country that no longer is a superpower with a surplus of tools, but
on the other hand, America is still expected to lead. This marks a
turning point and a period of transition. Now players will come up
and take over important new roles."
Weekly Die Zeit carried a front-page editorial and wrote: "[During
these summits], global images were shaken. First of all, the one in
which the United States was the center of attention. The
president's new humility coincided with a confession that no one had
ever thought the U.S. president could have made a year ago. Barack
Obama assumed responsibility for the dropping of bombs over Nagasaki
and Hiroshima and for the current financial crisis. With such a
president the second image is crumbling, too: the one of America as
the Great Satan, the nation that causes everything evil and leaves
aside good things. Everyone, ranging from Ahmadinejad to the
militant NATO opponents, must now learn to live in a world without
their beloved enemy image.... The leaders who have gathered in
various constellations at the summit meetings do not comprise a
global government but they weaved a kind of global leadership
network. And we owe this primarily to Barack Obama, because he has
begun to overcome the previous leadership style of the Americans....
The U.S. president does not lead the world--he defines the
situation, he sets standards and no longer ambiguous ones. The
Obama world that has surfaced over the past few days is certainly
not yet a better one, but it is a more honest one. Obama has now
laid his fate into the hands of the world. We could obstruct his
policies now because we are strong and free, but hopefully not as
stupid."
Under the headline: "Messiahs with empty hands," FT Deutschland
commented: "And so it came to pass that Barack Hussein Obama
visited Europe. In London he rescued the global economy. He cured
NATO in Strasbourg. In Prague he freed the world of nuclear weapons.
In Ankara he reconciled Islam with the West. On the seventh day he
entered Air Force One and disappeared in the cloudless sky. Was
this just a dream? I'm afraid it was. However, the first European
tour of the new U.S. President was indeed a triumph... While he
presented himself in a relaxed way, he also demonstrated the
instinct to take bold action, which European politicians seem to
lack.... Obama confirmed the impression that he is an unusually
talented and intelligent politician. But this does not mean that he
will be successful."
Handelsblatt dealt with the G-20 summit and its commitment to free
trade and opined: "During their summit meeting in London, the 20
most powerful nations in the world put on a brave face to the game
they are playing behind the backs of their populations. It is true
that the G-20 committed itself to forgoing any kind of protectionist
measures by the end of 2010, but skepticism is appropriate. During
the first financial summit in Washington, the G-20 promised to
forego plans to seal off their economies. The paper on the previous
declaration had hardly dried, when the first participants pulled up
their drawbridges. Their commitments to free trade can be taken
seriously only if the G-20 decides to lower their drawbridges again
and reduce their efforts to build new trade barriers. The real
test, however, would be a successful conclusion of the Doha Round,
where we do not even have empty promises. Compared to the
Washington meeting, the G-20 fell back to its previous statements
and even left open the time for a conclusion of the global trade
round."
Regional daily Mittelbayerische Zeitung of Regensburg argued:
"President Obama said that it takes time to turn the "oil tanker" of
state. This may be a nice metaphor, but it is also an anticipated
apology, for the question to which he gave the answer was: Will U.S.
politics really change under President Obama? And this question is
more than justified. Thus far, Obama has done only one thing: he is
selling hopes."
Regional daily Lausitzer Rundschau of Cottbus had this to say:
"Obama's trip was a European oath of manifestation. After all the
years of complaints and abuses about the problems the United States
had piled up and continued to deepen, the curtain was raised for a
new beginning everyone was longing for. But the necessary ensemble
forgot about the text. Afghanistan has always been the good, right
war from which the Iraq war only distracted attention. Now when
Obama is making this slogan his own, the conflict is turning into a
difficult matter. But Europe did not present its own new ideas.
Relations with Turkey were and continue to be considered a European
problem. Now a U.S. president is necessary to avoid a fiasco.
European answers to the economic crisis were equally meager."
Abendzeitung of Munich opined, "Barack Obama is probably the best
thing that could have happened to the world during these times. No
he is not one who will save the world, but the aspect that creates
hope is the way the new U.S. leader addresses problems--with
dialogue, cooperation and friendly modesty. Compared to the dull
cowboy before him every inhabitant on this planet would have been
better. But Obama represents something like a turnabout in the
activities of the Untied States."
Koelnische Rundschau of Cologne argued: "The White House is
satisfied and can be satisfied. President Obama may not have
asserted all his notions during his European trip...but he has
achieved one thing: a fundamental change of mood towards his
country. His predecessor George W. Bush managed to raise opposition
of almost the whole world of his dull global power policy, but the
charming, educated, competent and charismatic Barack Obama seems to
have succeeded in eleven weeks in reviving the image of the United
States: to lead by example and be willing to cooperate instead of
demonstrating a know-it-all attitude. But he must now match his
words with deeds."
Regional daily Badische Zeitung of Freiburg judged: "It is true that
for a President who likes to act in such multilateral rounds as
Barack Obama, there may be a suspicion that he does not defend U.S.
interests resolutely enough. But this time reflexes are different.
The United States needs the world as it did not need it in the past.
It needs the Chinese who buy their bonds; it needs the Europeans
for a joint strategy in Afghanistan. The combination of misguided
unilateral moves of the Bush era and the new constraints as a
consequence of the financial crisis has almost resulted in a kind of
humility."
¶4. Obama Visit to Iraq
ARD-TV's Tagesthemen interpreted Obama's stopover in Iraq as a
"signal that he will keep his election promise of withdrawing the
troops."
ZDF-TV's Heute-Journal remarked: "The American President has done
something in Bagdad which he so far avoided: posing as the commander
in chief of the by far most powerful military force in the world.
However, this was not the Bush-style of showing power. It was first
of all a gesture to the soldiers and a signal for the people at
home."
¶5. (Cuba-U.S.) Congressional Delegation in Cuba
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung opined: "Never before has there been
an endless queue of so many politicians from all over the world in
Cuba. With this unmistakable and offensive visitor diplomacy, they
have upgraded the communist ruled island state. The old grey men at
the top of the state continue to be as unscrupulous as before with
respect to human rights, and even a modest democratization may not
be in sight, but relations of President Obama with the Castro regime
are now turning into a real litmus test for this new era of U.S.
foreign policy 'at eye level' with the American nations. The
upcoming OAS summit next week will tell whether this tactic will
come true and whether Obama gives in to pressure. For the time
being, Washington self-confidently prevented Cuba from being invited
to Trinidad & Tobago."
Under the headline "Limbering-up Exercise in Washington and Havana,"
Berliner Zeitung opined: "It is still too early to talk about a
thaw, but the ice is beginning to melt. It is very likely that
President Obama will announce a new U.S. policy towards Cuba at the
OAS summit in Trinidad & Tobago. Nothing serves the policy in Cuba
more than the economic boycott by the imperialist enemy. However, a
new generation of Cubans has grown up in Miami that is less
ideological, less embittered, calculates in a more sober way, wants
to invest in Cuba, and finds an open ear with President Obama. Last
year, Cuba imported agricultural products from the U.S. worth 750
million dollars. It is time to make a virtue out of the necessity:
bring about change through trade."
"Obama's Ostpolitik," is the headline in die tageszeitung. It
opined: "Only a few weeks after President Obama took office, a thaw
has developed between the United States and Cuba. Obama began his
policy of change with measures that reminds us of Willy Brandt's
policy towards the GDR in the 1970s. The question is whether the
new "Ostpolitik' will result in the desired opening in Havana. Thus
far, Ral Castro has reacted with the same reflexes as his larger
brother Fidel to criticism and pressure for reforms from its own
ranks. But Cuba's population will not understand if Ral shows a
cold shoulder to Obama's advances."
¶6. Secretary Gates on Pentagon Budget
ARD-TV's Tagesthemen stated that "the efforts to create a more
intelligent army will be one of Obama's great battlefields in the
coming weeks." Frankfurter Rundschau commented: "From the
Pentagon's point of view, it might make sense to readjust the U.S.
forces to meet new challenges.... However, the U.S is stuck in the
worst economic crisis in decades. The country must be modernized...
Obama wants to reduce the increase by simply balancing the
inflation rate. This is a cautious start. However, the 'yes we
can-man' in the White House shuns the debate over whether America
can still afford unprecedented arms programs."
¶7. South Africa
According to Sueddeutsche Zeitung, "Jacob Zuma's triumph is the
symptom of a threatening development, which is weakening the
foundation of the young South African democracy. This nurtures the
suspicion that leading ANC politicians misuse the institutions of
the state as a weapon for their own political struggle. They
manipulate for their own use, and the protection of the constitution
is only of secondary importance. If the ANC that is dominated by
Zuma is now strangling the justice authorities, the liberators of
South Africa are betraying their own goals for which they fought so
hard. A free state needs prosecutors and judges who are not afraid
of political interference. Instead of protecting free justice
authorities, the ANC is now undermining the foundations of the
state. Thus must scare every South African."
¶8. Fujimori Trial in Peru
Sueddeutsche Zeitung editorialized: "Latin America is making
progress to come to terms with its past. The Peruvian verdict
against former president Fujimori is a triumph of human rights. It
is the first time that a court in the hemisphere declared a former
elected state leader guilty. Chile failed with this task, but Peru
has now set an example. The justice authorities must now continue to
do their job as independently as possible, because the matter has by
no means been clarified."
¶9. Guantanamo
Sueddeutsche Zeitung deals with the report of the International
Committee of the Red Cross on torture in Guantanamo and wrote: "The
medical assistants of torture are agents of a medicine without
humanity. They have turned into torturers themselves, who have
offered their profession for the service of torture, thus nurturing
the dangerous illusion that there is a good torture, namely the one
in which the victim does not die but only suffers. The report of
the International Red Cross is illustrating this in a depressing
way. It is the perverse attempt of humanizing inhumanity. Now from
CIA prisons another thing has been revealed: not only people, but
the rule of law and medical ethics are also casualties of the Twin
Towers."
¶10. Nuclear Weapons in Germany
Berliner Zeitung analyzed the deployment of tactical nukes in
Germany: "At least small actions must follow Obama's great
announcements. The German government can help here. The U.S. can
do without the few remaining nuclear weapons in Germany.... Such a
demand of the German Chancellor Merkel would only be symbolic.
However, it would demonstrate that the whole German government
stands behind Obama's utopia."
