Another Iron Lady?


Looks like this lady is going to earn respect

Germany's new Chancellor Angela Merkel is strutting her stuff.

Germany's new Chancellor, Angela Merkel, took two loud and clear messages to the European capitals she visited this week.

The first was that Europe must swallow tough economic reforms or lose the battle of globalisation.

The second, addressed to EU leaders, who have let their recent meetings descend into public slanging matches, was: Stop squabbling and work together!

For a diplomatic novice her first outing was a masterly display of firmness with tact. Mrs Merkel has already shown herself a formidable new force in European politics.

I have to say, I am impressed. A few more leaders like her, and the EU might live up to it's potential. And that would be a good thing all the way around. The U.S. could use some friendly rivals to keep us honest.
