It slays me when I hear other Europeans sniff their noses at the US and US policies. I am in freedom thanks to their willingness to stand at the Brandenburg gate till hell froze over or till the East Germans fell.
If you think the Americans are so bad try having the Russians in your house. After the war the Russians looted us down to the lightbulbs in the bathroom. When the Russians wanted Berlin for themselves the Americans dropped not bombs but candy food and coal and broke the back of Russian starvation tactics.
When the Russians built a wall the Americans didn't run even when your European peaceniks demanded unilateral disarmament.
You 'civilised' Western Europeans were the first to clamour for US action during the genocides of Jugoslavia and the first to damn America when she finally did anything - like always.
The first movie I ever saw about US was 'Roger & Me' about the layoff at Flint Michigan. Honneker made damn sure we saw all that was wrong in US. But I saw what was right. 'Roger & Me' was made by an American and shown in America and was big hit. Micheal Moore makes good money criticising US - enough not to have to sell rabbits by the roadside. Try finding a similar film made in DDR by and for DDR.
America was raped and left for dead last week. There can be no 'blaming the victim' this time.
By the way, thanks for doing such a great job hiding Anne Frank.
