Found this on his personal website, from 2003. It sounds like a carbon copy of what his wife is saying now. Looks like his wife is being used as the spokes-hole this time.

Even though I am on the inside against the war reports and the everyday pictures of slaughtering tanks, praying Iraqis, dead soldiers, dead civilians, dead children on TV - I can not handle them.
In the last few weeks, the agonizing question of how to attack a supermarket, which ignores all international conventions, could be put into the existing legal barriers. There was even the slight hope that the UN Security Council could still prevent the war and that the US would yield to this vote. This reflection has been superfluous since last week - what remains is bitterness.
Beginning of war on Thursday night, demonstrations all over the world; Also in Berlin. There are boys of fifteen, perhaps, fifteen years of age, burning with an applause and screaming of the crowd, an American flag. Little boys run through the area and squawk that Hitler and Bush would be the same. "Why?" "Well, both commit genocide!"
We are at the head of an anti-Americanism. But to whom is this hatred? Who is to blame for the one-sided war - the Americans, Bush, both?
I believe it is no hatred for the Americans, who are currently blossoming around the world. It is rather directed against the chauvinist policy of Bush and his government. Bush is the point of crystallization and recharging old resentment against America, confirming that culture and humanist thinking are at home, but not in America. (This is not just the case for the Europeans.)
The criticism from Europe on the Texas cowboy already filled the feuilletons of the German daily newspapers, since this had not even moved into the White House. At the time of the American election campaign, everyone could make the number of deaths among Bush, homosexuals, the church, the guns, the environment, the industry, and the views on foreign and security policy. This was known to everyone.
In fact, as early as the year 2000, all of them would have to know the consequences of the Texan's entrance to the office. Only the 11th of September could be foreseen. Even today George W. does exactly what is expected of him, he has not disappointed his critics and just hates him. At the same time, one is depressed by one's own powerlessness and the open violation of valid law together with a pre-Enlightenment polemic. George W. is no longer in our time.
But why should we hate Americans? Can not even be told that they had chosen George W.? Who has ever been able to convincingly show that it is not the media staging as well as an imperfect legal system that is the most hated person of the world president of the last supermarket. Well, he has received this office by formal means, but it was not the voters but the courts that legitimized his rule. But the Americans must also ask themselves critically what they have done to prevent this war.
Perhaps, from today's point of view, it would have been worth it again and again to count the ballots. Perhaps today we would not have to go against an Iraq war on the street, perhaps no stars'n Stipes would be burned with hooting applause - at least not in Berlin.
Let us recall the days after the attack in New York. Thousands of flowers were then in front of the American embassies, and candles filled the American people. Exactly this compassion is expressed by the same people today when they are facing American embassies.
MR. BUSH - STOP THIS WAR !!!
