I'm quite sure that the historical looking back in Germany is on a >>higher and more objective level than in other countries. I'm very disappointed of the development of this thread. I didn't say that Germany has a better education system than other countries or the USA (some people seem to _want_ to read it so). But some people still come back on WWII, nazis etc. if they hear "Germany" and they even want to explain me that we don't know our history and that it is even prohibited by law to learn about certain historical facts... That's all absolute bullshit, but it seems that it is not possible to talk in a sensible way about it. The irony is, that I have eplained my solidarity with the US and UK soldiers in the Iraq and now have to defend against anti-German cliches. Thanks. This is my personal EOD. Cheers, Heiko
