Morocco 1905: A Better course of action for a more Moderate Germany?

Interesting as this all is - and it is interesting - we're kind of getting off my point.

Or, is the unified thought of the board that the best course of action for Germany is to declare War?

With the knowledge of OTL - maybe ;)

BTW OTL it was Wilhelm who reined in his governemnt in 1905 - it seems Wilhelm did not want to go to war in 1905 (I assume he thought he could break up the French*Russian alliance in the wake of the Russian Japanese war)
 
Wonder if, further down the line when the Sultan chafes against the French actions, there would be room for the Germans to gain an advantage with diplomatic protests?
I may be under the yoke of French propaganda but I remember reading a few times that French rule actually strentgthened central royal authority in Morocco at the expense of tribe and village chieftains. Of course that's thanks to having a monarchist creating a kingdom for the republic.
