#3 No that's another idiot. He served as ambassador in Algeria and Morocco, where he "saw the light".

That was tolerated for a while but then the German Foreign Office thought a diplomat should actually represent HIS OWN country.

Mr Hoffmann now has a lot of time to expose his views without the German taxpayer covering his expenses.

#4 TGA - the sad thing about the end of the cold war and reunification is now Germany has to face itself with no outside imposed forces.

So far, it hasnt been pretty. I feel sorry for all those great people I knew in Nurnburg (Feucht and "Merril Barracks"), Munich, Augsburg (Gablingen) and Bad Aibling.

Germany was always such a great place to live as a soldier.

(Sorry dont know how to make proper umluats here)

#5 Old Spook, we always had our fair share of idiots and 5th columnists. Remember "eurocommunism"? Remember those who (successfully) fought against the Neutron bomb that would effectively have stopped any Soviet attack (the Soviets were scared shitless of that weapon).

We'll get over this one as well. But should SchrÃ¶der really manage to win a third term I will consider moving to the U.S.

Places with excellent fishing and hunting preferred :-)

#9 TGA:
Consider North Florida, excellent hunting and fishing (sections still have bear season) and you'll need short winters soon. :)

Damn. I wish our State Department held to that philosophy.

#12 TGA, I trust that Hoffman blatts this drivel while remaining comfortably ensconced in socialistic German luxury. Isn't it time for this scheiskopf to make good on his word and move to Iran or Sudan so that he might experience firsthand the joy of living within this "most just among various systems of rules in the world."

Allow me to say that a person of your caliber would certainly prove a most welcome and refreshing change from America's usual roster of recent immigrants.

#14 But, killing gators used to be illegal too, now they kill us. :)
