Two third of Germans are estimated to be against the BW engagement in Afghanistan. however, a majority of Gemans also is against this egg-dancing the government initiates about it. The attitude of being defensive bnecasue of WW2 is fading, since the younger ones push into spociety, and the older ones remembering WW2 are disappearing. I think that is a normal process. It is just that politicians still abuse WW2 to not accept the risks from such a mission while wishing to take the benefits for reputation from it, and if there are no benefits, then at least to avoid open conflict with the hegemon demanding their participation - by appeasing him with obedience - and still evading the risks.

I made my position on this, and Afghnaistan in general, clear on several occaisons, so I do not go into that again. just the event itself that I started with, I wish to report. really, it is GROTESQUE.
