True, but without the parents of the hijackers, there´d be no hijacking either.

The parents did not know their sons would commit these crimes. Those who helped the terrorists knew they were committing these crimes.

Americans like to judge people by who they are, not by who their father was--or who their sons are.

So, you see that we have to draw a line. And my state draws that line between those who actually did it, those who encouraged others to do it (promising an advantage, giving money, telling them to do it, etc) and those who helped somehow. It´s my states decision, I´m fine with that, and you don´t need to agree with that. All I request you is to respect it.

Yeah, right--we have to draw the line, but it's up to the state where to draw it. No individual rights, no objective standards--once you're in power, you can do anything you want. If the state draws the kind of lines that Hitler drew, we are still supposed to "respect it."

Why do you want a third war, Michael? Weren't two enough?

Where did I write that I wanted another war? What is the common thing between the penal code of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Holocaust?

Americans like to judge people who they are? Well, Germans don´t look at the heritage of someone, we judge everyone on its individual guilt. And pulling the trigger is worse than driving the bank robbers car!

The state draws the line, and the state is a democratic one. That´s why we have to respect it. There´s nothing in common with Hitler, so stop these dumb comparisons. Get back to the topic.
