"Why could anybody here think that Germany isn´t actively fighting terrorism? Just because we didn´t engage in the Iraq war? He//, we have troops in Afghanistan, at the Somali coast line, we´re prosecuting people having helped 9-11 terrorists, we have outlawed several aggressive Islamic organisations, we have tightened anti-terror-laws, we´re guarding all US facilities in Germany by our military - so how could anyone say that our government isn´t taking this threat for real?"

You know Mike, I don't know the answers to your questions. Just like your press generates an image of the U.S for domestic consumption I suppose ours does the same and right now Germany's not looking to good(look into Germany's strongarming of Turkey to deny us ports before OIF). The U.S. busts its ass all over the world lending a hand and are consistently stabbed in the back by the same bit players. It starting to grate on us. Don't even get me started with the French.

On a lighter note I want the U.S. and Germany to have a good relationship. You make great cars and good beer. What else is there?

What else is there?

Come here and find out! ;-)

But then again, the Euro is too high right now...

From what I hear, those who have contacts to the other side of the Atlantic, our relations are excellent (that applies to Americans AND Germans).
