Germany was a pre-eminent global industrial power -- arguably the most advanced industrial power in Europe and the world. Defeated in war -- yes. Burden by reparations -- yes. In an economic funk -- yes. But Germany remained an industrial power-house. Iraq is a third-world basket case. Comparing Germany to Iraq? Don't make me laugh. The comparison is bogus and self-serving in the exctreme.
