I just wrote a long letter to the email address on the bottom of the article.
Please write some eloquent replies. Do what it takes to make the Germans know you are not amused...because, if it becomes an issue that leftist Germans had Schadenfreude about New Orleans...it would help the conservatives win in 2 weeks.
The conservative win in 2 weeks is not assured! They are polling only 51% now. That is too close. They had 49.5% when they lost 2 years ago.
I think we are holding off on Iran and Syria until after the German elections.

This newspaper, the taz, is a left-wing radical piece of trash that is only read by Green party voters, anyway. Yes, they hate Americans. Yes, they are happy now, and yes, they were happy on 9/11, too. Denying the obvious is no use here. But...it is also true that the Green party is getting only about 8% of the vote. Add in the neo-communist Linke/PDS and the Nazi NPD, and you'll get about 16-20% of Germans who feel that way. The rest, i.e. over 80%, don't, however. No, not even Schröder's SPD is that evil.
