The Germans: A Lot Like Us - Newsweek: International Editions - MSNBC.com: "John Kornblum, a former U.S. ambassador to Germany, thinks Americans have also contributed to the problem. 'We love to trash Germany. We sell more to it than virtually anyplace, buy more from it, invest more in it. It's been a friend for decades, a democracy that shares many of our basic goals around the world. Why do we keep telling them how bad things are, how pathetic they are? How does this help us?' How indeed."
I have a good friend in Germany and have often wondered why we are so dismissive of them and Europe in general recently. Fareed, always good, brought up a very interesting topic with this article and makes me wonder further after his expose: do we dislike Germany because we dislike ourselves?
