And thankfully you´re not a German, so you really have no say in what the Chancellor should address in her meeting with President Bush.
Yes, I thank God everyday that my forebearers left Germany. It was the greatest decision they ever made in their lives
You are defensive about your Merkel. That is understandable. Do you understand the chip on American shoulders resulting from 9/11 cowardly attack? Do you understand that the GITMO prisoners would undertake another such attack in a heartbeat? While no, we do not have any say on what Merkel should address - we can certainly offer up our opinion. And my opinion is that she/Germany needs us/USA more than we need them and she should have thought twice before making that statement. No longer can you talk out of both sides of your mouth in this technology advanced media and not expect it to be heard around the world.
