Germany has indeed received great gifts from America: the twofold liberation from Nazi and Communist dictatorship, a generous helping hand and protection in days of darkness, the reunification of our country. And not only this, but an infectious attitude of liberalism and tolerance, can-do optimism and joie de vivre. Gifts that will command our gratitude for decades to come. Gifts so great that small minds can be overwhelmed by them.

what a wonderful statement of sentiment

Wow. What a inspirational editorial comment. I think much of the western world forgets the debt we owe to the United States. We do get lost in our day-to-day gripes.

Thanks for pointing out the article.

Those of us who are of German heritage acknowledge our debt to Germany, as well. "Free thinking" is associated with Germany, more than any other nation (except maybe French?).
