Do you know statistics, which party voters mostly support that idea? Or which party is more popular in the east and which on the west. It will help me to understand this situation.
Btw I think that any society no matter how good live they have will never be fully satisfy. Although this time situation is very strange, cause two separate German countries will never such strong as one united country.

I'd also like "The Jolson Story" to be re-released!

The west germans footed the bill, and the east germans are "no better off financially". It all comes down to money, apparently.

I always thought the reunification of Germany was done way too quickly. The "Wall of the Mind" is going to exist for several generations, and is going to drag both sides of Germany down with it.

I agree,one in five is pretty good. The title is meant to make a drab but optimistic story colorfull and negative.
To: Lukasz
Only 25% and 13% of the west and east (respectively) hate each other?
Sounds pretty good to me, considering what a piece of junk East Germany was when they re-unified.
To: dfwgator
it will be interesting to see also statistics by age.

So?? This means that FOUR Germans to every one DON'T want the Berlin Wall back. The math isn't hard here. In fact, this is as much "news" as those stories about one American veteran of the war on terror supporting Kerry, out of millions of veterans, both present and retired, who don't.

Btw I think that any society no matter how good live they have will never be fully satisfy.I agree. From 10% to 20% of any given population is not satisfied. Either way.

I dunno...four out of five Germans don't want that wall back. Sounds like a success to me.

True! But it's funny that they don't take this to its logical conclusion and figure out why many in the US are fed up with paying for Germany.

Once upon a time Dresden, Leipzig, Magdeburg, and Halle were great cities brimming with culture. Practically a who's who of German brilliance came from there.
Has it all been destroyed in 40 years ?
To: Lukasz
Why should this be a problem? The 12% of easterners who want out should just build a wall around themselves and sit there. I'm sure the rest of Germany would be happy to let them alone.
Wonderful idea for socialists generally, as a matter of fact ....

I wish we'd build a Berlin Wall on the Texas/N.Mexico/Arizona/California southern borders...

Mr Schroeder- Build Back this Wall!
(PS: Why don't the Germans just build a great big "Busch Gardens:post-Hitler Germany" for everyone who wants to live in la-la land?)

Actually, I think Allied fire-bombing pretty-much took care of Dresden in the 40s...
