Eamonn Fitzgerald senses Der Spiegal is trying to recover from its own anti-American past.

Has anybody ever bothered to do a study on the environmental impact caused by smoke when Germany took it upon itself to burn up 8 million people during the 1940s?
Educational systems, local & federal governments, child raising - radical leftists ruin everything they touch & cannot be left in charge.
Not very accurate. Given that minister's background, you could say the Germans should have hit Stalingrad harder.
The study would probably conclude that the U. S. left them no choice, regrettably.
Don't be so sensitive.
This is the best media I've read in a long time--and to think it came from Germany!
From the German article:
No pledges of aid money, no announcements of immediate help -- although finally, two days later, the German interior minister did manage to come out with a hesitant offer of assistance.
What's the subject? Dresden? You amuse me.
I have the distinct impression that you are operating on little sleep.
Thank you.
Praying for GOOD change in Germany. No Peoples should be dependant on corrupt incompetant egotistic politicians. While most fit the label, there are exceptions. And we're hopeful Merkel will be one.
Wow. be careful, this guy could join my must read columns with straight talk reminiscent of Honore.
Three years ago, just before the US election, former Minister of Justice Hertha Däubler Gmelin compared US President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler. This time, with German elections looming, the environment minister is using a natural catastrophe as an excuse to once again campaign with subtle anti-Americanism and to unabashedly pat himself on the back.
Jig's up for Scheoder. The germans are wise to what he did to win office last time. It will not work again. They won't sacrifice their needs again to indulge in anti-Americanism.
It's not the American people's fault that the storm hit and they couldn't have stopped it. The Germans, on the other hand, could have done a lot to prevent World War II. And yet, care packages still rained down from US troops. Trittin's know-it-all stance is therefore not only tasteless, it is also historically blind.
Okay, I love him. :-)
Actually der Spiegel has been producing some very good columns the last year.
