I too had mixed feelings. On the one hand East Germany was free. On the other hand, Germany had started three major wars in less than 70 years that in the end basically killed Europe.

Had those wars not occured, Europe would have had 200 million more people today (including 10 million Jews) and socialism would not have taken hold

However, you cannot blame a man for the sins of his grandfather. I don’t blame a german today for what his grandfather did. However, as Lady Thatcher correctly points out, there is something called a National Character

Germany isnt going to be starting any wars, at least in the near future. The killer combo of left weenies and crazy Muslims pretty much cut the nuts of a once proud people. And it is a shame because who knew more about fighting than the krauts. They beat the French in Franco Prussian war, they near won the first World War and lost the second world war because they adopted an evil form of goverment. But the tatics they devised and weapons they invented are still, in one way or another, being used by militaries thru out the world.
