One of the fascinating things about the German moral argument about the war...less than 5 percent of German population go to church on a regular basis. While 50 percent may go around Easter or Christmas...the bulk of society simply pay their state-required church tax and never say a word (if you don't pay, you can't get married in the church or have a church funeral...so they all pay for nothing). Whatever moral argument they are digging up...its nothing to do with Christian values...or they'd have to say something about Saddam's killing of his own people (but they'd never do that). The only values they appear to be choosing...are leftist social values...which appear to be in the losing column.

Very good point. Europe has become secularized at an incredible rate. The single most important question a country can answer is what it thinks about God - every other answer flows from that. More than anything else, that is the difference between Europe and America - we still retain something of our Christian heritage.
