Eddy, you wrote:Junkers era is over in Germany and remember that half the electorate voted either ''green'' or ''red''. Yet, if Germany gets more involved in military interventions abroad, the last person to blame would be Secretary of State Ms. Albright. As I said, a jingo fraction of the German establishment dreams of the days when Germany was Prussia, that is a adventurous country led by Bismarck. Very French indeed: as the first economical power in Europe, Germany intends to ''turn the page'' with regard to its fascistic recent history. As a result, the German bourgeoisie wants the full panoply of a first-class country: economics, politics, and... military. Not to please the French, of course. It seems that since German capitalism has successfully managed to ''globalize'' itself in the last couple of years, its global partner, ie Anglo-saxon capitalism, helps it in return on the geopolitical arena: NATO could be the Trojan Horse of Germany on the (international) military scene.Grosswirtschaftsraum , that is Germany's Larger Economic Area. I can tell you because I was in Tallinn (Estonia) a few years ago (trying to buy white pines and stuff). People over there used corporate Germany as a benchmark when dealing with foreign businesspeople.Allied Force was perceived as operation Yankee Force !!! Was it the German embassy that got shot at in Moscow? Everywhere where hostile demonstrations took place, the target was --exclusively-- the US embassy! Sometimes, the French and the British embassies were targeted as well. The Stars and Stripes tagged with a swastika? Adolf Clinton... Did you hear of a Gerhard Hitler? See? Nobody cares about the Wehrmacht.
