#1 Meanwhile, are the Germans assembling their bags full of small, unmarked US dollar bills, as they have done in the past, to free their citizens and murder Iraqi and American soldiers?

I happened to have business with the DPA reporter who used to occasionally visit B'dad the shortly after Berlin had dispensed some huge wad of cash to free an earlier hostage. She was, to my satisfaction, livid almost beyond words. She understood that Berlin's craven and incompetent action had made any German an incredibly hot target, as well as put huge resources into the hands of barbaric criminals who were killing good people every day.

Seems like even when they are mere bystanders (OK, insolent narcissistic incompetent cowardly coddled dependent back-stabbing bystanders), the Germans are a force for evil. So the Morgenthau plan wouldn't have been a solution, either ....
