This article is worthless, but it always depresses me how the political right and left both love to put down the german people:
The left does it because we don't love the turks too much, the right because we don't love the americans too much.

This forum is not made of a representative sample of the American population, AntEater. Certain professional and social circles are over-represented here, and very much so.
On us Germans strangling ourselves in the garrottes of the left and right, I cannot disagree, though. We give a hilarious image of schizophrenia by that. but what do you expect from a people that after WWII got every national identity being pressed out of it's soul? the german nation was to be destroyed once and for all, forever. Only during football world championships we slide into an alternate universe for three weeks, and there dream a dream of being a nation. when it'S over, we go back into our national void, without feeling a real identity. We just have history to lecture about - and mistake that with feeling identity. But that is like the difference between the chemical formula for a perfume, and the smell of the perfume itself.
