Well, I think they are right about this. I don't think President Bush is particularly interested in keeping the peace, either.
The difference is that we do not share the German's fetishistic devotion to peace at any price. Getting your but kicked twice in world wars will do that to you, I guess.
In just does not compute to the modern German mind that sometimes peace is not the desirable course, and that war is necessary to prevent evil from triumphing. Since Germans have been playing the part of "evil" the past couple rounds, this blind spot is somewhat understandable.
The Germans should concentrate on rebuilding a devastated Poland, most of whose cities still exhibit bullet holes and ruins from their last "drang nach osten".
Hypocrites.
