Germany Steps Away From European Unity
NYT, 23 Mar 2011

[I]Driven by electoral pressures and Germany’s postwar aversion to war and nuclear power, Chancellor Angela Merkel has deeply strained relations with allies in the European Union and the NATO alliance, raising new questions about Germany’s ability to play a global role in foreign policy, even as its economic power and influence grow.

Is it postwar aversion?? or is it Germany's non-Christian population flexing it's power to support and pursue causes non-EU??
