The leaders of Germany, France and Britain will try to find accord on stabilizing Iraq at a summit aimed at avoiding the kind of diplomatic snarl that divided Europe over the Iraq war. German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and French President Jacques Chirac, who opposed military intervention and are seeking a greater UN role in Iraq, will be joined Saturday by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who fell out with the other two over the buildup to war. The three will discuss broadening the international force in Iraq.
