It's very difficult to say. I come from Ulm (Neu-Ulm it`s over the Danube river), there was till 1990/1991 a big US-Base (Pershing II and nuclear warheads).
The people was all the time against the nuclear warheads and had (how does it calls when you get on the streets with many other peoples? We call it "demonstieren"). But the German people had a good friendship to the US soldiers. They had made a lots of parties together and had a lot of fun.
The city was very safe.
As the soldiers gone, come many many foreigners from the old USSR (isn`t it ironic?) and many other countries I don`t know and live now there in the old base. Since the city is not any longer safe, and the old base are very dangerous at night.
What I want to say is I think that in West-Germany the most people like the US, how the people in East-Germany are think, I don`t know.
In the time after 9/11 some people put some candles and flowers at the main-entrance at the old base, we all was very shocked.
But the most Germans hates Bush, we're thinking he is a very bad President. He is doing a bad foreign policy. We liked Clinton very much, I think he was the best President at last time.
Germany got a lot of foreigner, and many are from islamic countries and they hates Germany and the US.
And we don`t trust us to kick them from our country because we had a bad foretime. I know, we're stupid in this way, in Switzerland they kick them, when they are criminally and let they never in whose country.
In our basics law stands written, that we use the army only for defends. So many Germans got a problem with internationl missions before all without a UN-Resolution.
The most Germans is against the war in Iraq. It was begun under wrong arguments. Bush said that Saddam got some biology and chemical weapons, until today none were found.
Germany can engage itself also not much for the fight against the terror, since the enemy is located here in the own rows.
So, I have writing here about 2 hours. I have to do today still some.
But I announce myself tomorrow again.
Bye
PS:Kagom, you german isn't very bad, at least better than my english ;-)
