U.S SEEN 'FUMBLING' ITS JOB IN GERMANY; Soviet, by Contrast, Is Winning Red Converts, News Experts Declare at Times Hall
New York Times (1857-Current file). New York, N.Y.: Feb 15, 1946. pg. 6, 1 pgs
The United States has "fumbled" the job of re-educating the Germans in democracy, while the Soviet Union, through a positive, explicit program, has made it ...

nothing ever changes at the NY Times.
Hah! For a second I thought maybe they were trotting out another crisis that was Bush's fault.
hold up! check the date on the article..
smacks you..LOL..i'm so stressed out over this I didn't see the date, I freaked as soon as I saw the headline
With the New York Times backwards revisionism, who says it's not?
Leave it up to the New York Times to think commies are doing a better job than Americans. You can probably replace "Red Converts" with "Insurgents" and not tell that the article's nearly 60 years old.
As is it stands, I'll just say thanks.
Good one!
Given the neo-Nazi scum and the appeasement crowd still populating Germany, maybe the reconstruction didn't work out that well after all.
ambrose......guess I'll also have to stand in the "You Got ME" line......BTTT !!
Could not read the article, but I can add that several German friends, as well as Americans married to German wives...so they work in German jobs/companies...have been stating that the election of Schroeder has been bad in many ways. Socialism has run amok, but the Red party is seeing a very large increase in party membership and interest. It is unsettling to many Germans, as well as to the Americans who have adopted Germany as their country. I'm not sure what the future will bring, but whatever, the trouble didn't start with Bush. The mindset of the people here is much different than ours, so you just have to listen to them but not express your opinion often. The "enlightenment" and the French Revolution aftermath has had significant affect here and now only 5% of the people hold to any religious faith at all. The others, many of them friends of mine, are very irreligious and feel that those who are, or even hold to Judeo-Christian values are archaic and intolerant. PC was born here. That's why the dems love to identify with Europe. People here see PC as a religion to be enforced on everyone, forcing them to disavow their religious beliefs. They feel sorry for you if you do not believe like them.
I have very many nice neighbors, but their core beliefs are radically different than mine and most Americans. They see no problem with abortion and pornography is out in the open. There is no talk about gays, gay marriage, etc. To Europeans, everyone should just mind their own business and let everyone alone.
Wow, cool catch. Someone posted the NYT endorsement of Mondale the other night, and it was hilarious to see how wrong they were.
