Schoroeder is a democratic socialist left. Germans are almost protesting anti-war themes on a daily basis, and he listens to the people with strong economic reforms.
France have their issues and agenda's and will try to avoid war at any cost to focus on development, the Fench are also protesting anti war themes regularly as they have respect for their muslim citizens.
Germany has gone soft, but have the ultimate battle/war engineering gear going around.
