They're already bordering on irrelevant. That's what has them squawking for attention and being opportunistic obstructionists in the first place.
I think they mean that they support homicide bombings against soldiers, but not against civilians.
Germany purged itself of militant nationalism after WWII but in the process purged itself of rational thought as well."
Not really accurate, there were no German men left after WWII, the country had to import Turkmen to do mens' work
Spoken like a true a$$hole.... an unappreciative, self deluding a$$hole...
I'm convinced there are enough worthy Iraqis in Iraq to justify our sacrifices --- but they will have to kill a lot more of their stupid "cousins" before the place can settle down and join the current century......
The majority of Germans, French, Spanish, Dutch and like minded bastards, will be NO help to the Iraqi people..
Semper Fi
With Germany, what's old is new once more.
They don't give a rats butt about the Iraq people, they want another corrupt government to make a deal with.
" are trying to change Iraqi culture."
If that culture were in a petri dish, bleach would have been added long ago.
That's the truth. but the German women still wound up doing the heavy work.
"I think they mean that they support homicide bombings against soldiers, but not against civilians."
That's EXACTLY what they mean - they hate America, but feel sorry that the random Iraqi has to die to get at those 'occupiers' - or at least pretend to be sorry for the murders that are less 'popular'. They are classic terrorist 'fellow-tavellers', lamenting the 'excesses' but failing to admit they feed those excesses with their support for illegimate terrorist acts and violent pro-tyranny causes.
Well, Iraq has a lot of Muslims too, and those Iraqi muslims just voted for people who said that U.S. forces NEED TO STAY for now.
Why dont these idiots listen to the voice of democratic Iraq??!??
Sounds great to me! Hurry up Iraq and get your stuff together, then push us over the border.
Iran border, Syria border, does not matter much to me!
"Why dont these idiots listen to the voice of democratic Iraq??!??"
The Iraqi people are too ignorant to know what they want. And .. the USA is oppressing them. [/s]
Friends, it's all of western Europe (not only the "frogs"). We can promote a change of attitude in western Europe only by letting people in all of those countries (including France, Germany, Italy, Britain, Spain--all) know that we are onto their anti-American majority sentiment. If you've noticed that people in those countries (and more) are trying to deny that any such majority sentiment exists, you've noticed the nerve that we need to touch in order to get them to promote pro-American attitudes in their own countries.

"German soldiers that have vocalized support to our troops over there"
They understand that someday they might be fighting side by side. We don't always have people willing to fight and die by our side. It's nice of them to extend this sign of friendship.

Let me guess, this is a bad thing, right.
Aren't these lunatics a little behind the curve?
The problem with Europe in general and "old Europe" in particular is they got the wrong lesson from the XXth century. The lesson they got is "all wars are wrong and evil", when the correct lesson should be, some wars are wrong, and fighting evil is never wrong.
Really? Awesome! Glad to hear we have friends over there, though not surprised they are in or near the military.
Glad to see some protestors on our side in germany too! Maybe they'll spark a counter trend!
War is to Europe what whiskey is to alcoholics. They can't partake for fear of what their lack of discipline will certainly cause. I blame their lack of judgement on their abandonment of Christian values.
Poland has been the longest and most faithful ally of the USA, since the Revolutionary War.
Even when the socialist FDR gave Poland to his communist brethren at Yalta, Poland remained an ally.
The Brits no longer really like Americans, although I still consider the nation (as a whole) still a staunch ally.
Pro US demonstrators? Very cool.
