However, the consequences of such a significant troop withdrawal have a couple of downsides, too, most of all for the Germans. One mostly overlooked but important side effect is the departure of the US troops themselves. With their visible presence of African-Americans and immigrants from Asia and Latin America, they enriched the German shopping malls and restaurants, representing a multi-ethnic society. If they are gone, German society will lose a bit of color, so to speak. This step will play into the hands of right wing xenophobes whose aim is to purify the German nation. Here, by accident, the goal of the Neo-Nazis and the one of the German socialists coincides.

I thought it meant that his country went to Australia... That must have been it. Couldn't be our country.

I'm barranquillero... how long you've been here???
And, true to what has happened in the last 30 years, the drug trade has fueled the conflict in Colombia, both in the Communist left (FARC and ELN) and the right (AUC).
Sometimes I think the only way to end the war in Colombia would be to legalize cocaine and other stuff, but that's just my crazy self talking.

They honestly seem to think that the world's ills are due to the evil US imperialism. Guess it's been too many years since we saved everybodys butts in WWI & WWII. But you'd think they'd at least remember "American Imperialism" being responsible for the Berlin Wall coming down. I had neighbors, as a kid, who fled Berlin and their wall. They were paying .50 cents for one egg in the 60's. Their memories were certainly intact. The Pfortners fled to the US to experience some of that fine Imperialism.

As you are well knowing that, there are some that use nationality for a "crutch", as do some ethnic groups...

Does the history of the Monroe Doctrine ring any sentient bells in your vacuous cranium?
To: Darksheare
I may be wrong, but did Calusa elude to being in Germany?
I don't mean to assume, but that's what I gathered.

Just a sec, I'll hunt that down.
If he did say that, then he's likely our returning troll taotao/taftkald who has alternately claimed to be in college/be 22years old and going for his masters degree/already has it/ is experiencing excessive flatulance at joining teh EU/is supposedly in Brussels/is in holland.

That makes him a really old student or a really stupid one. (Or both)It must be both, to quote him from another thread:
I turned 18 in 1970. I reported for my Draft Boards, but recieved a deferment on account of a heart condition I was born with.
To: Darksheare
I recognize the writing style.
Now that you mentioned it. This guy is not Columbian.
22yr old and getting a master? Holy $hit, a prodigy!
That's way over my head, I must concede..
