Many people in Germany consider the United States as more dangerous than Iran, according to a poll by Forsa released by Stern and RTL. 48 per cent of respondents say the U.S. is the biggest threat to global peace, while 31 per cent think Iran is.

In November 2005, Christian-Democratic Union (CDU) leader Angela Merkel was sworn in as Germany’s first female head of government. The current administration includes members of the CDU, the Bavarian Christian-Social Party (CSU), and the Social Democratic Party (SPD).

Many people in Germany consider the United States as more dangerous than Iran...

Uh ... they wouldn't be islamic immigrants, would they?

[ExpatGator]

It must be because of our history of starting huge horrible wars in Europe in the 20th Century. (/sarc)

[tsowellfan]

Have we "redeployed" out of Germany yet? Our tax dollars are paying for their security so that they can have their big social programs and be our biggest critics.

When will we be moving our bases more East to maybe Poland?

[Rb ver. 2.0]

Ungrateful statement considering we saved West Germany from Nazi and Soviet tyranny.

[brivette]

Well, I'm half German. But my father faught in WW2 against the Germans. I'm proud of him.

[edpc]

I guess they're still sore about us kicking their butts twice in the 20th century.

[vortigern]

The US is a threat... now that's funny coming from the same folks who started 2 major world wars!

[Unam Sanctam]

Given their bloody history in the past century, their just projecting their genocidal hatred on us. This kind of thing just burns me up.

[PzLdr]

To the Germans we are more dangerous than Iran. We've kicked their @ss twice.

[xcamel]

"Many people"

(weasel words)

[RightWhale]

The US is still a major threat to German science since it still has some ability to suck the brains right out of the country into American universities.

[RacerX1128]

this is ok because we have hitlery, mccain, jon cary, all in the wings just waiting to "fix" our horrible image abroad. Isn't that comforting?

[rawcatslyentist]

You think flailing your arm into the air, and shouting alligence to der Fuhrer was bad. Wait till you're banging your head against the ground 5X a day!! Oh and no more schnitzengrubben, or beer.

Yeah America is the biggest threat to German freedumb!

[ThomasThomas]

We are more likely to protect ourselves than Germany and the rest of Europe. Iran will not very likely start a major war. Just pick fights with those who they can intimidate.

[elhombrelibre]

The Democratic Party agrees. Only they see Bush is a bigger threat than Iran, and are willingly to turn a blind eye to the aid the mad mullahs in Iran are giving to the terrorists in Iraq who kill Americans and coalition forces, kidnap British sailors, aid Hezbollah, and provide missiles that kill Israelis. Iran basically has a green light to go nuclear with Russia and the Democrats providing them the cover they need.

This coming from a nation that killed millions of peaceful, productive citizens in the 30s/40s and decades later welcomed millions of decidedly unproductive moon-worshippers with open arms.

Nice judgment there, Krauts. The only thing they ever got right were beer and cars.

[SmoothTalker]

We've shown ourselves to be their worst nightmare twice in the past century.

[JewishRighter]

I'm glad the krauts still consider us the biggest threat. That's as it should be so we'll never have to worry about saving the French again.

Many of the men in New Braunfels, TX, fought in WW2 against Germany. My friend's father was an interpreter and when interrogating a German officer, they realized they were cousins.
