Before this thread is flooded with the usual knee-jerk responses, I'll sadly point out that the poll results in the U.S. would probably be similar.

Might I remind everyone -- we know why the Germans think we are dangerous -- we were the only ones who could stop them.

This is an excellent critique of anti americanism in Germany.

Germans tend to take things to extremes. But unfortunately, they've been less willing to embrace democracy in the extreme. Tacitus spoke of the Germans dedication to material equality when they were at a tribal state, and history left them seeing the good in authoritarianism. Bismark brought them welfare as a way to buy off the general public from the Left. Like the French, it seems to me, the Germans have been reluctant to accept that the Anglos may have stumbled onto something better than what the Germans had. There is a certain snobbishness that causes them to want something abstruse when the practical would work better. When it comes to economics, again like the French, they rant about dog-eat-dog capitalism in the UK and USA and imply that their own social model is far superior while believing in the future so thoroughly that in four or five generations there will be more Germans in the US than in Germany. Ours will speak English. Theirs will speak Turkish or Arabic unless there is a rebirth of Germans willing to have children, an unlikely event I'd say unless their frauleins hook up with Americans.

Forty-eight percent of Germans think the United States is more dangerous than Iran, a new survey shows, with only 31 percent believing the opposite.

Forty-eight percent is too low; I want the whole world to think we are more dangerous than Iran, especially the Iranians.

Most of the world is more afraid of the U.S. than they are of Islam -- not just Germany.

So what? They should be scared. We have bigger bombs and higher standards.

Just to see how the Eurotrash media portrays Bush, look at the title of this BBC article:

"Bush Attacks Iran over captives"

Did Bush attack Iran?

Being the richest and best country in the world is a bitch. Jealousy is a terrible thing.

Two thirds of the Germans would be happy if Iran nuked the Jews.

Fine by me...

They will never "like" us. The best we can hope for is for them to fear us.

Actually, this is a very good article... It's nice to see that at least one person (this writer) in Germany seems to have some common sense and historical perspective. He seems to know his fellow countrymen very well.
