American Ambassador in Berlin Daniel Coats said that if Kerry wins the red-green coalition now ruling Germany would have much more problems: "There are excessive expectation" he said to the daily BerlinerZeitung. "Bush did accept German position on Iraq, therefere he didn't ask Schroeder to send troops in the Gulf. Kerry has spoken about this instead".
Furthermore he said he don't think there will be strong change in the American foreign policy, also with Kerry in the White House.
At the end he added: "Bush is not particularly loved in Europe as well as other presidents before him: Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan".
