David Kaspar points to this story about German President Johannes Rau having to cancel a scheduled stop in Djibouti on information that Islamists were planning at taking a pop at him. But, but, why Germany? After all, they oppose the USA, and they opposed the invasion of Iraq, as Kaspar says, "That's Not Fair!"
Rau's office said German intelligence agencies had a tipoff that terrorists had wanted to target Rau as a representative of a Western nation.
Ahh...there it is. Well I guess we're all in this together whether we want to be or not - at least while Germany is still, for now at least, part of "the West."
