Sorry to broad-brush the German people, but I was responding in kind to the reported line. I was stationed in Germany in 1978-1979 in Kalkar. Germany is a beautiful country. Having written that, I feel that most Americans including me do not seek war but we do not shrink from it when it is necessary. History teaches us that it is now necessary. A further lesson illustrated in these times, is that deliberative bodies which are not answerable to people, should have no say in decisions which affect those people.

Thanks to Germany America learned a valuable lesson about sitting out a war until it's too late. Never again!
