Message: [QUOTE="Zapp Brannigan, post: 11277, member: 72"] Because as far as the Germans are concerned, ISAF are happy little peacekeepers, making the world a better place, while the KSK is operating under the aegis of the US-led OEF, killing poor Afghans. The Germans are infected with the same disease of self-deception which has brought down the Spanish, the Italians and the French, and threatens the British and far too many Americans as well - this idea that it is our aggressive response to the terrorists which causes the terrorists to hate us, and want to go back to the halcyon days when terrorism was treated as a law enforcement problem. Even more disgusting to me is the less-than-strongly-veiled belief among many Europeans that if they just keep a low profile, the terrorists will be content to kill only Americans and Israelis and other non-Europeans.
