The statistics isn´t damned, because Germany is a complete new state. Founded in 1949, the Federal Republic of Germany has stood firmly at the US side, not only because of the Soviet thread, but because of conviction. Germany has the same values like the US: freedom, democracy. It is not going to allow terrorist or dictators to rule the world and to dismantle our free society. Tell me on which security issue the German government disagreed on with the US government since WW2 - except Iraq!

Freedom and democracy are not compatible.

democracy: "a government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meetings or any other form of direct expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude towards property is communistic-negative property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether it is based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. It results in demagogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy."

What about the big-ass hassle the Euros (Germans, etal)displayed when the US/Reagan era proposed the basing of medium range missiles in Europe to deter the Soviets? I believe this was quite instrumental in bringing down your Berlin wall and freeing a lot of Eastern compatriots....I also noticed your US-German comparison page, I think you forgot 1 major difference between us, we believe all our rights descend from a greater power than other men!!! Most of our freedoms are based on this concept in the USA and it's likely your Euro mind will never understand what that means.
