OK. I want to call attention to this statement. Now, Jeroen, there's a striking fact about the German people "having been in the center of two world wars." Which is, of course, that they started them. The example, of course, disproves his argument. Going to war _was_ the solution to a problem - the problem of Nazism. We went to war. The problem was solved. The fact that Schroeder would make this statement (and that you would repeat it uncritically) speaks for itself.
