Look... nobody here is wishing catastrophe on anyone... the point is, Germany the Nation, the Government went way out of their way to block the US in removing the biggest threat to the security of the West, next to OSB.

If the threat, of a serious threat of a terror attack, causes Germany to begin to see this war on terrorism from our perspective, I say GOOD!

There is nothing wishful on my part that any such thing occur. But, damet, we have suffered greatly because of their unwillingness to help remove Saddam. Maybe if only one of the three, France, Germany, or Russia would have gotten behind us, there may not have even been a war. But they didn't, and we have lost 500 Americans so far. So I say Good, drag their asses in. If such sentiment is so difficult so understand, then perhaps Germany or France or Russia is where you belong.

I don't buy that for a second. Saddam was never going to step down. Look, the Iraqi war started in 1990. It never stopped. It has never stopped since then. This is the closing act.

Why does Germany's willingness to support the US in the WOT mean nothing to you?

You realize not all conservatives or even all freepers believe Saddam was a theat to our nation, right?

Did I say they were?

"...the point is, Germany the Nation, the Government went way out of their way to block the US in removing the biggest threat to the security of the West, next to OSB."

A point you and I agree on.

"If the threat, of a serious threat of a terror attack, causes Germany to begin to see this war on terrorism from our perspective, I say GOOD!"

I'd say the same thing, but we have AMERICAN bases in Germany and we have AMERICAN targets in Germany as well. If the terrorists attack these AMERICAN bases and AMERICAN targets, how is that going to make the German government see our perspective on terrorism? It would take attacks on GERMAN targets to get them to open their eyes, not AMERICAN targets. Do you understand now?

I don't belong in France, Russia or Germany....perhaps you need a little time in a mental facility. Stick to the issue's and quit attacking those who are trying to get you to see the light!!!!!
