Michael,

I really and trully believe that the Germans in general and in this case syou specifically are too thin skinned!

Rumsfeld was TESTIFYING before a congressional committee. He was asked a question about support. He responded that 3 or 4 countries didn't support in any way ... these were Cuba, Libya & Germany. This is a statement of fact.

My "re-write" of Naumann was not to disparage him, but to point out that the sword cuts both ways.....

I won´t discuss that anyway. Rumsfeld insulted a nation of partners. Now, with his behaviour, he makes me thinking if we shouldn´t call for the withdrawal of all US soldiers out of Germany. Why not veto all decisions in NATO and build up nukes for our own?

I told you, Rumsfeld went on rampage, and I get angry over that. It is inacceptable what he said and I´m wondering why no US spokesman hasn´t apoligized for that. You had your apologies after the comparison by former Justice Minister Däubler-Gmelin, too.
