Nah, come on. I know fellow reservists who reported to duty on 09/12/2001 - I won´t accept that you disregard the will to defend the NATO area. Every attack against any NATO partner will be responded adequately, and I don´t doubt the support of any member nation. After all, that´s what NATO´s good for.
Then, Germans don´t hate America or Americans. It´s ´just´ that a very large majority opposes your President, and I´m only among 15% who´d vote for Bush. They despise the "America first" attitude and forget that this is what he´s paid for.
Regarding Ramstein or whatever AB you´re talking about, I realize that you´re dreaming a nightmare.
We don't want to EVER see that happen, now, do we?
Never ever. And I´m surprised that you´re suspicious about Germanys intentions. Recently, my government has approved to sell the best non-nuclear subs in the world to Israel which could transport nuclear weapons. We are a friend of Israel, I don´t want this to be questioned.
Maybe you can experience our democratic society one day on your own. Make sure that you visit Berlin - a beautiful city between history and presence, and of course Munich, you will love the Bavarian cordial kindness,

Thanks, Mate.
I would love to, actually, but finances and health sort of limit our travel options.
Not only would we surely enjoy the Bavarian kindness, but we hear that the BEER is top-rate over there, too!
Wish I could pop over for Oktoberfest, and buy my buddy in Bruum a brew or two!
Deutch is one of those languages I've always wanted to learn, although I don't really know why. Someday, maybe.
It might have something to do with my particular affection for BMW motorcycles and Mauser rifles, I suppose.
