...so, back at the keyboard...

...first i'D agree to some of you, Hitler WAS a maniac. No doubt about that. It's a shame racistical tendencies are erupting again even, or especially in my country...

...second, i'm not proud of being german, because i actually think that being part of a certain nation is a matter of coincidence not of own accomplishment...

...Bman, you forgot to mention Panama. It's a thing i had in mind, i'll do some research for more...

...How do you define War ? I would count US American Action in Grenada War since the Government of both Countries got involved...

...the US isn't interested in helping anyone but themselves. They do only react on invasions or similar stuff if US interests are in danger. (e.g. Iraq, Albania...) ...

...I look in the mirror to see what the world is today, and i'd agree that the USA took a major role in what i see. More than 70% of all the world's inhabitants live in poverty. Altough we are not without guild either, there is some evidence that the US is not interested in making things better. That would be OK, but they pretend to do (e.g. IWF, WTO). The US i a major producer of pollution and we all know how Bush reacted...

...Bman, your statements prove, that the winners do write history...

...isn't it somehow interesting that the Taliban was initially trained and armed by the USA..?

...did you know that still US-supported Paramilitaric Units are fighting in South America..?

...isn't it funny that Anthrax was developed by the NATO first..?

...do you remember that the USA nearly blew up the whole planet during Cuba crisis, because they thought USSR would install Nukes on Cuba. True, maybe. But noone cared for the american nukes in Turkey. So are the USSR really to blame when they want to install an equal threat to the US...

...i personally dislike the US-self righteousness (tricky word, i hope the spelling is correct), why are they taking themselves the right to invade anytime anywhere, if there isn't a legal reason, they would make one up - who made them world police..?

...i'm still not sure if the invasion of afghanistan was legal or not. Noone has ever proven to me, that Bin Laden did order/support the attacks of 11th September. But i am really sure the US Government would make up some proves if they need...

...after the bombing started (pretty cowardly, uh ? :-p ), Taliban leaders announced they would hand Bin Laden over, if the US would show them evidence for his guild - this has not happened, why ?

...besides, maybe be you should consider that all the information you get from media is controlled by someone. You can, should, never trust the information you get immidiately. Try to see other opinions. Don't think they are all liars, because you would prefer believing your own opinion. If you try to see US actions from the opposite view you might become REALLY angry. Why should it always be the other side, which is to blame ?!

...umm, and think of one thing : Terrorism is not the problem. It's a mean (undoubtly a terrible and completely unacceptable mean. and I would never try to find ANY excuses for terrorists. the attack on the 11th of sep was absolutely horrible) - one should think of the reasons...
