My only question which maybe you can answer, do you think this has anything to do with Germany getting all of their gold out of the US and back onto German soil?
The debates I've witnessed and read center around 'fairness' (for lack of a better word at the moment) in terms of commitment and sacrifice (proverbial 'blood and treasure' arguments), Germany's past strategic initiatives and attempted hegemonies (the angst remains and predictably stronger among some regions than others), and the dichotomies which occur naturally between its international obligations within NATO/WEU/UN and the Grundgesetz (Fundamental Law or Constitution) for the BRD.
