Germany and Iran

I have often been puzzled by how Germany seems to have turned into "France of the East", except that this is not a fair comment about the current French leadership. It is almost as if Jacques Chirac has somehow taken possession of Angela Maerkel's mind. Germany has steadfastly refused to consider any type of military action against the burgeoning Iranian threat, no matter what evidence is presented to it as to the hostile intentions of the Iranians: http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110010644.

I hate to be trite, but I guess that the prospect of dead Israelis and/or dead Americans just doesn't bother the German leadership all that much.

Germany, instead of actually learning from the Holocaust and preventing the next one, continues to believe that penance is to simply put up monuments to the murdered Jews.
