"Merkel's statements echo the sentiments of a certain earlier German government, and the re-emergence of right-wing parties there could portend another shift in the country's policies toward foreigners."

This is one of Stratfor's better analysis pieces (though any use of "Hitler" is bound to be widely misinterpreted).

...Now if they could only figure out that it is Germany who is likewise attempting a European powerplay by breaking the Ukraine off from Russia to move into the new EU-only military being formed (now in charge of Bosnia "peacekeeping" in fact).

I disagree - this is a despicable analysis. If you mention Hitler and the Nazis through the 'analysis', then, by default, your are clearly making the comparison.

The Germans have learned their lesson from the 30s and 40s, it is time to give them a break. Wanting a group of thugs to start behaving (or leave) is NOT the same as sending millions to death camps. Enough is Enough! Let them get their country straightened out. For heaven's sake, we need them as allies (and they were great during the Cold War).
