As Pres Bush stated, "...you are either with us or with the terrorists...." It seems the Germans are with the terrorists. I think a bit of pressure from both employees at our bases and shop owners near our bases (who depend on our spending over there) would do wonders to change their view on this issue.
It was our nation that was attacked on 9/11, not Germany. In fact, when was the last time Germany was attacked? WWI? Oh wait, they did the attacking. How about WWII? Oh yes, same story....
Oh yes, wasn't it the Romans; about 2500 years ago? Now the Germans are worried we may put a terrorist (who helped attack our nation and kill 3000 people) to death. Where were the German people in the 1940's when their leader tortured and killed thousands of Jews with the intent of eliminating their race?
Let's not forget how much we spent to protect their nation from Soviet aggression after WWII. Yet, if I remember correctly, isn't Germany a hot-bed of muslum terrorist activity? I think I remember reading that the 9/11 attack was planed in Germany.
Heck, Russia is our friend now. Let's just shut down our German bases. Do we really need them now?
