Doc B...

Well... I would argue that many Americans think less of this country than the rest of the world does... it depends on whether you live in a red state or a blue. Any college campus you go to will be full of post-adolescent angst about how "evil" America is.

Now there you have a good example of how Americans might view Germans. I've just used a German word which is an entirely accepted part of our language.

Honestly, I think WWII jokes are hilarious in kind of a morbid way, and I have spent a large amount of time studying the history of the war, but that doesn't mean I hate Japs and Krauts. Probably a good quarter of the American populace can claim German ancestry, and we owe a very large portion of our culture to Martin Luther. I would argue that historically German culture has played a role in the formation of America second only to the English.

I don't know much about present day Germany, or any other country really. All the more reason to visit eventualy!
