You have identified very big difference between Germany and France and their EU followers on the one hand, and the US, the British, and the Israelis on the other hand.

What you learned from WWII was to hate war. That is not in itself ignoble.

We also know that war is unspeakable, but we learned something different from WWII: We learned that if a dictator says he's going to kill you, and millions of other people, it's wise to assume that he means it.

In the long run, we believe that our lesson will do more than yours to prevent a repetition of the carnage of the WWII battlefields, as well the carnage of the extermination camps.

I will leave you with the words of a great German:

What people write about war, saying what a great plague it is, is all true. But they should also consider how much greater is the plague which is prevented by war. If people were godly and gladly kept the peace, war would indeed be the greatest plague on earth. But how do you take account of the fact that the world is wicked, that people do not want to keep the peace, but rob, steal, kill, rape women and children, and take away honor and property? The small lack of peace called war or the sword must prevent universal lack of peace in all the world, which no one could survive -- Martin Luther.

I respect your opinion, and much of it is very true.
I`m no dreamer, and most of the other 82 Million
Germans aren`t, too

We`re backing you with troops in:

Kuwait
Afghanistan
Horn of Africa
Somalia
Kenia
Kosovo
...and some other regions

German AWACS controlled your airspace post 0911
German Troops guard your german bases, while your`s
fight in Iraq.

And last, but not least:

Allowing US troops to use their german bases,
hospitals, airports and our harbors for a war on
Iraq was, and is a direct violation of our
constitution. This constitution was written in
1948/49, under leadership of the US and Britain.
It simply allows no help/assistance for/on an unprovoked
war.

The Germans still accept this violation of a
constitution, which has been inspirated by your
constitution and the Magna Charta.

And?
We are called Weasels!

So, WHO taught us again to hate war?

Quoting Quotes leads to no end, but pls let me
verify my position by this other quote:

War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity, it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge is preferable to it.
Martin Luther

Sometimes, beeing an OLD EUROPEAN means
to honor OLD Values

Sp, pls accept that this nation will always help
friends. But critizising a friend is friendship, too.
And wars lead to nothing but poverty.

Peace,
Hun
