"Oh. Despite the fact that you wouldn't have faired nearly as well as we have given the same circumstances you aren't envious?"
I am sorry that you`ve decided to answer on a lower level
of discussion.
I cannot prove that Euros would have been better, because
we weren`t so stupid to start such a war.
This time, and for the first time.
As Rummy is calling us "Old Europe", I`d answer
that beeing old does mean not to make the same mistake
all over again.
" My bad, that would require critical, honest introspection, something Euro elitists apparently don't do... "
Ask anybody who really knows post-war Germans.
Critical, honest introspection of our past is our
second nature.
You wanted german peaceniks, now
live with it :-)

"...I cannot prove that Euros would have been better, because we weren`t so stupid to start such a war..."
I never mentioned the war. I mentioned 9/11, our economy and a highly charged election. If you had a 9/11 attack you'd still be sitting around wondering who to apologize to so that you could avoid being attacked again.
Secondly, we didn't start the war, we're just finishing it...
