Statues aren’t just a pile of metal that has been chiseled. It is a symbol, designed to provoke admiration in the public. For some reason, Germany seems to feel that they should admire the head of a repressive *slamic state which would like nothing better than to see all Germans bowing down in a mosque.
Past history has demonstrated that the German people are intelligent, industrious, frugal and all too willing to accept orders from the top.
The latter in my opinion is a cultural flaw that brought us 2 world wars.
My roots are largely English and Scotch/Irish, with strains of Swede and German ancestry.
