    What's to be gained by "rubbing" an allied country's nose in it? I thought we moved past WWII?

    Sorry if this has already been mentioned. The organizers had to have planned this with Berlin from the very beginning. Why didn't Berlin shoot it down then instead of wait until it was well underway?

    Der korrekte englische Ausdruck ist "I’m here to learn English” Das Problem ist, dass nicht jeder, der hier schreibt, korrektes Englisch spricht, besonders einige ‘redneck’ Amerikaner.

    In Australia the term ‘Liberal’ applies to the right wing Conservative party. I’m neither Liberal in the US sense or conservative believing all rigid ideologies are incapable of getting us out of the mess our species has engineered. In fact I find the American obsession with left/right absurd.

    I went to the Dusseldorf carnival a few times when I was a kid. During the parade of floats candy was thrown to the children. I did not feel humiliated and I left with several kilos of sweets and plastic toys.
    The fireworks displays at the end were the best I've ever seen.
    This was less than 30 years after Germany had lost the war.

    I can see that it would be humiliating to be reminded how much was owed to the allies by the people of Berlin but to snub the aircrews which saved their lives and liberty comes across as ungrateful.

    The WTC was an attack. Those who died on the wall chose freedom even at the risk of being killed.

    Well the Brits evacuated their children from the savage, merciless bombing campaign inflicted upon them by the madmen in Berlin.

    With what right do you believe Germans owe you something? Do you see as as independend entity or more like pets?

    That show was stopped. Americans should accept it.

    Much less to what died in the Fall if Atlanta in your civil war.

    And also much less than your annual murder victims.
