Germany: Thousands Protest U.S. Drone War at Ramstein Air Base
--------------------------------------------------------------

In Germany, thousands of people formed a human chain around a U.S. Air
Force base to protest the U.S. drone wars. Ramstein Air Base hosts a
station that relays communications between drone operators in the United
States and the drones they pilot abroad. Clement Walter was among the
protesters.

Clement Walter: "I am here because I don't agree with American weapons,
American rockets being directed toward other countries from German soil.
We do not have to tolerate that. Above all, I am thinking about our
children. I want them to understand that there must not be any war
carried out from German soil."
