I am most thankful for all the bombs that were dropped on the territory of my country during the Nazi occupation, and I am thoroughly sad the USA didn't drop any during the Soviet occupation - the effects of that 40 years are prominent even today, maybe more so than in the 90's; the old communist elite had 30 years to rebuild their wealth and influence and they're trying very hard to get back in power, this time as "centrists".

Ah, but the Nazi's escaped and turned the CIA into what it is today. You should show some of that moral concern for the 4 million INNOCENT people that have been murdered in the Wests' illegal wars since 2003. Clearly, if this means nothing to you today, it wasn't worth our grandparents "defeating the Nazi's". They clearly didn't.

  What tells you I don't show any concern for these people? I simply illustrated that bombings can be appreciated, not that all bombings are OK.

    > thoroughly sad the USA didn't drop any during the Soviet occupation You seem to have a proclivity towards bombing things as a solution. How about, you get the CIA out of your country so that the German people can trust their intelligence services well enough to bring justice, when its due, to those who you feel are corrupting your society? Or, would that require bombing something?

      If a bombing is what it takes, then a bombing it is. I don't care much what method would be used - of course I prefer the one with least dead civilians - but certainly what they actually did was not enough, and in result a whole country has been condemned to poverty and a mindset/life outlook so twisted, people outside hardly understand it[1]. Repairing the damage will take at least 30 more years, if not more; that's several entire generations of people merely surviving, not living. I am not German, btw. I am Czech and I don't think Babis and Zeman are CIA operatives, but their relationship with StB/KGB is well documented. [1] if you can find a translation of the movie Kouř, definitely watch it. It's an absurdist movie that is, at the same time, painfully realistic.

        Ah, Czech problems. Yes, I can imagine its very frustrating to have grown up in such an environment, where duplicity and subterfuge were used to undermine the Czech people time and again. I believe we won't solve those kinds of problems with bombs, but rather education...

        Today, most definitely. Back in 1946, the US army could've stayed a little longer.
