Merkel spoke well, and I think Germany - my country - is dealing very responsible and appropriate with its past. I like the strong support for Israel, which is outstanding in Europe.

Not quite as dramatic as Elie Wiesel’s appearance at the Reichstag years ago, but (M)Erkel still chose the right words for a change.

I hope Germans are infinitely patient. Because eternity is just about what it'll take to convince a significant proportion of the world's population that Germans have changed their stripes and should finally be forgiven. This was no minor faux pas after all.

I agree, Michael81Dus, and am proud of Germany as one of the greatest allies of the USA and of Israel. Humility is the way to true strength.
