Hmm some good points and alarming that Germany has followed Deutche Bank into murky waters. I don’t think any nation at this point can be said to ‘have a great past’ but I think it’s unfair to characterize Merkle as more emotionally motivated than GBush2 who literally believed expatriots from Iraq with an agenda that, as heinous as it was, using gas on their ppl turned into false WMD’s and war. So throwing the first stone and unintended consequences is a bitter lesson.

Bite your tongue; I didn't compare Chancellor Merkel to that fool dubya. She at least took the refugee's from the empires war's. I just believe her rationale was emotional but of course, I have no way of knowing. There seems to be a move afoot to rehab the war criminals, dubya and Cheney and watching the democratic party sidle up to Cheney makes me puke.

Since you bring them up, the greatest societal event in world history that would be a gift to all future generations would be to have GWBJr and Cheney tried for treason and war crimes BEFORE they're dead of natural causes - and NOT acquitted, of course. ...It's very close to certain it will never happen, but a boy can dream!
