neither. But the German people has been exposed to the horrors of war
not that long ago. It happened right where they live and that,
together with the incomprehensible guilt on the German nation has
turned the people into pacifists. This has everything to do with the
ugly face of war and little with the relationship between Germany and
the United States and their people.



And uhhhhh lets not forget that EXCESSIVE pacifism....is WHAT allows these
crazy sobs like hitler to rise to power and make everyone else miserable in the
process.....

I dont hear many germans today bitchin today because we bombed the hell out the
civilians and hitlers minions in ww2, freeing them from a tyranical leadership
in the process.....not to mention similiar scenarios like japan etc etc....

And if peace at ANY cost is your mantra you better start polishing your posters
demanding that old Abe Lincoln go down as the most evil man in history for
starting that war of northern agression that ended up freeing the slaves.....
(not that the civil war actually had much to do with slavery in reality)

Blll
