Guys, this is about US-German relations. It is easy to stray off and repeat old patterns, I just have fallen into that trap myself again in a reply to Baggygreen. Threads tend to shift in their foucs and content, it is common in the GT forum, but I do not want it here. I deleted my latest reply now, for exactly this reason, because this is not the thread to drum the beat of the old Republicans-are-the-better-Americans-song or the usual Democrats-for-a-democratic-America-prose. It is about transatlantic relations, and the trap of unrealistic mutual perceptions, and what unites us and what separates us.
