GERMAN JEWISH LEADER RAPS BERLIN'S ANTI-IRAQ WAR STANCE
Berlin, Dec 28, IRNA -- German Jewish leader Paul Spiegel on Saturday criticized Berlin's anti-Iraq war position, saying an American military assault on Iraq "is justified under certain conditions."
"One cannot voice its opposition towards any kind of war beforehand," Spiegel was quoted as saying in an advance report of the daily Bild, to be published on Sunday.
He was referring to repeated remarks by German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder refusing to back an American intervention in Iraq.
Schroeder has also ruled out a German military participation in a US-led assault on Baghdad even with a UN mandate.
