For a learned person this is pretty ignorant. To infer judgement of a country from the behavior of a few is not very bright. Does the name Dachau mean anything to you sir.
The decision about who is ignorant is clear here. To excuse the actions of ones own country with actions of another country is just about the most stupid thing that has ever been put on this list. And who says that we are talking about the actions of a few. The entire US government knew about it and part of that government even ordered it ... A person known to have tortured in a US Prison is sent to Iraq to guard prisoners ... how ignorant can you get?
And by the way, just in case you want to follow that "Dachau" line. You are not getting at me ... I am Belgian born at the end of the war (1944) and I came to Germany in 1970 ... this just in case someone wants to put me in the "Nazi" corner.
And just to get your misguided interpretation of history right. The Germans have been punished and have paid dearly for their crimes. Now it is time to put Rumsfeld, Rice, and Bush on trial for war crimes. As far as you are concerned, well, stupidity is not yet a crime.
It are people like you who enhance the idea of the "ugly American" and who are responsible for 9_11.
