I have to confess merrie, I had no clue as to Obama’s intentions to apologize to Germany. Why should we apologize to them? The lesson I took from the history I was taught is that Europe and the US were fighting side by side against a maniacal dictator who would have enslaved anyone who was not of pure Aryan dissent. America does not need to take on the role of saviors but we certainly do not owe an apology for doing what we BOTH had to do to protect the free world.

As far as the bombing of Dresden being viewed as a war crime, well, I just don’t get it.

I am, however, beginning to understand how apparently screwed up Obama’s view of America’s place in history is.

Several comments to this piece tells me a lot:
“If Obama thinks that that it was wrong for the Americans to defeat the Nazis and the Fascists it means that he thinks Hitler and the Nazis were legitimate forces that operated for GOOD.”

Another revealing comment: “Obama hates America and Americans! How much plainer can he make it? Will anyone be surprised when he goes to Hiroshima?”

The only thing America needs to apologize for is meddling in other nations affairs. We have become far too arrogant under the heading: ‘world power’.
