  • Thank goodness this evil symbol of hatred and oppression finally came down in 1989. I remember it well, but I am too young to remember the wall being built. Good riddance!

  • agreed-

    But, again it is a Government's poor policy; not the people.

  • Yes, but do not forget that France policies (Versailles Treaty & invasion of the Ruhr) against Germany after the WW1. It caused an chain reaction that brought Hitler into power

  • WELTSCHMERZ.bERND

  • Fair comment, poitrenaud. I am certainly not anti-American. Far from it.. I am part German and Serb, as well as British. I guess if we all look back, we tend to find a mixture within us. Many of my friends on here are American, and I love them very much. I did not agree with UK participation in the Iraq War without a UN mandate, though. Chirac was right on that, I think. Enough politics anyway.. It's a sad and violent world. Anything that can help to bring love and peace to all has my vote.

  • Absolutely!

  • yes, let's do the same with the PALESTINIAN ONE OR THE MEXICAN AS WELL!!!!!

  • poitrenaud!

    i have always been a friend of the americans, before bush came!

    but i think was he did, was a not a "friendly act" to help the iraki people! that is no more the same us-army, who helped the people in europe!

    i am also sorry about that, but that is the fact!

  • bach would never have recognized the old berlin he left behind over 240 years ago. he would be wondering: my god, how did the brandenburg gate move? did it suddenly grow legs over the centuries?

  • What the Fuck are you High On?

    The Americans saved the entire continent of Europe--and the British, too-

    They saved our asses(I am French, born in Belgium)-And the Americans saved Russia by supplying them with materiel for their war machine-

    I don't want to be harsh or disrespectful, but

    Kindly Go Fuck yourself-

  • Dead Wrong-The Germans did not create this conflict between the US/USSR-but, how can Germany be held unaccountable for the precipitating years of horror and death Germany visited upon Russia, Poland, France,my native Belgium, Britain, Holland, Denmark, Hungary, Czechoslovakia?

    The Germans of today should not be held accountable, but this entire conflict between East and West and the ravaging murder of civilians in Russia was entirely GERMANY'S doing Entirely-
