Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
The newspapers I have at hand here and the news on TV and radio have not the slightest bit of "Schadenfreude" in it, quite the contrary: They/we are troubled that so many American soldiers die every week from the hands of terrorists/guerrilla. What they claim is that we foretold that there would be no easy victory and that we in Germany got the impression that the US government was to optimistic in its post war plans. Really, there not the slightest bit of joy (=Freude) in seeing this coming true.
