I agree with Schroeder about the iraq issue

What is the outrageous problem here?

That guys face looks like it is melting.

"alleged to have compared President Bush's political tactics with those of Adolf Hitler"
lol

I don't see the problem either.

Im guessing that you are a big Bush fan eh? I think Schroeder is doing a good job. I think its good that they are against the whole Iraq invasion thing.

I heard that to cope with the de facto Turkish invasion, Schroeder made laws that forced German citizens to share their home with live-in Turkish govt backed guests. Thats nice of him.

If someone tried to do that to my family, I wold end up shooting a lot of people.

This sounds too horrible to be true, but I've learned not to underestimate how bad things have gotten. Any sources for this?

Starting with him.

There go Germany's hopes of economic wellbeing.

My grandpa was tellin me after he talked to an old friend who was in Germany with family I believe. This was about 3 years ago I think.

Spirit, thats not true. I lived in Germany for 8 years and I go back every summer. Ive never heard anything like that. Unless I really missed something, but I dont think so.

interesting article... here's another http://www.wsws.org/articles/2002/sep2002/germ-s24.shtml

Im sure that its not very popular or widespread a practice, but I doubt my grandpa was inventing it.

It must be great living in Germany. Let's see, I can vote liberal, or liberal.

Schroeder lets people walk all over him. The only reason he took this anti-US stance is because it's so chic, and he needed to toughen his image for the re-election.

I call bullshit.

Why the fuck should you care so much about what some politician in Germany thinks?

Each country's opinion of the US affects us someway...

So? Each action by the US effects the opinions of people in other countries in some way. Are you that insecure that you demand every country like your country no matter what it does? Get over it.

excuse me? lets not be a dumbass and make dumbass comments about shit we have obviously no knowledge of. Of course germany has nonliberal parties you idiot, every country does. if your in germany and you dont want to vote liberal you can vote for the npd (national party of germany) or the schill party but because you really have no idea what your talking about you make stupid comments and waste everyones time who bothers to read this inane foolishness. hehe "i can vote liberal or i can can vote liberal" thats the most hilariously clever thing i've ever heard except for maybe why did the chicken cross the road. please dont type anything else till you have something useful, interesting, or inlightening to say or till you at least have the slightest idea what your talking about.


(edited to fix quote at top and typo in nonliberal)

Why didn't you edit the word "enlightening"? Oh, and till should be "'til", whilst you're at it, since it happens to be a shortening of the word until...

The CDU, FPS and CDP are just less liberal than the Greens and SDP. They're still not conservatives.

you know its ok to actually read things and not just edit them for spelling errors fammicommie. if you had actually read what i wrote you would notice that i didn't mention any of the parties above.

i mentioned two of the most conservative parties in germany, the ndp and the schill party. there are of course a number of parties of varying political stances that haven't even been mentioned.

as for your comment above its an opinion, and a rather asinine one at that, not fact. so like i said before please don't type anything else until you have something useful, interesting, or enlightening to say or till you at least have the slightest idea what your talking about. reading your inane comments hurts my eyes.

Hitler's foreign policy had far more significant aims than a mere distraction from domestic issues...

I don't see why anyone cares that germany said it wouldn't join with the US on an attack on Iraq. Would they actually affect the outcome at all?

If most germans don't support a war with Iraq, wouldn't it make sense for the leaders of the country to say no?

I can't decide who to tell to fuck off first.
How about you!

Interesting... that was the reaction to the first time I've said anything remotely positive about Hitler on here.

Your statement was neither positive nor negative FOAD, and I thought it was a well known fact.
