Talk about shameless. They inflicted HOW much suffering in WWII? And they're questioning the use of force employed to stop the atrocities they were behind? Boo, freaking, hoo.
Have the germans ever apologized for bombing England? Have they ever apologized for murdering millions of Jews?
This is sickening.
Not a bloody chance. If you start a war, you endure the consequences. Just be grateful that we didn't implement the Morgenthau plan on your sorry butts.
This is a joke, right?
And then Fred Goldman should apologize to OJ Simpson for letting his son hang out with OJ's ex-wife.
That is a pretty funny one. When I worked with a German, he became angry over some technical problem and was frustrated; so I joked to him and the rest of the group about "Thomas is a sour Kraut." He didn't get it but everyone else laughed.
Hey Germany...You think Dresden was bad? Talk to Japan...
Yeah. Sorry it took so long for us to rescue the JEWS.
Always heed John Cleese as Basil Fawlty....Don't mention the War!!!
"There has been much talk about the events of 1945. I know you remember them well. I want to say to you now -- you bloody well deserved it!"
Of all the places I've been on this earth, it's the most disturbing.
Germany is one of those 'traditional allies' that Bush has alienated, according to Kerry and the MSM.
The other 'traditional' ally, of course, is France. It is to laugh.
With allies like these, who needs enemies?
I'm personally getting a bit sick, between the Japanese wanting the US to apologize for Nagasaki and Hiroshima and the Germans wanting Britain to apologize for Dresden...
They should, instead, learn the lesson from those acts, namely that aggressors can usually only be stopped by aggression in response.
Well, let me disagree with out being disagreeable, because perhaps the Brits do owe the Krauts and appology for Dresden (and Hamburg, too, for that matter). I say this because of the bombing strategy that Britian employed late into the war when it was no longer necessary. The RAF sent in their Lancaster pathfinders at night with incendiary munitions and, basically, the rest of the bomber command lined up on the flames and carpet bombed what was left. This was all going on while American B-17s and B-24s were doing the strategic precision bombing in daylight (and therefore exposed to more danger) with the famed Norden bombsight--the same one offered to the Brits, but turned down!
Germanys collective shame for WWII and their Nazi heritage seems to be taking a new direction; blame the winner for trying too hard.
The International ministry of the cathedral springs from the very night of the bombing of Coventry by the German Air Force on 14th November 1940 and the terrible aftermath when the shocked citizens of Coventry gazed with horror on their ruined city and cathedral. Five and forty people died, almost 2000 houses were destroyed, the city centre was in ruins and the 14th century cathedral was destroyed by fire. Should we remember terrible disasters like Coventry?
This one's easy! The Queen should say something like "We, the British people, are dreadfully sorry that the third reich made it impossible to defeat the Nazi madness without firebombing Dresden. For those innocent live taken in that bombing, we are sorry. For those Nazi combatants and their supporters that were killed - that is the fortunes of war."
