On a related note, I encountered the attitude you ascribe to Obama among a segment of Germans some years ago. In the middle of a park in Berlin, there was a photograph of the bombed out German city with the words, “Nie wieder,” which mean something like, “Never again.” The photograph was permanently mounted in a metal stand. That choice of words was disturbingly ironic since that is the remonstrance Jews use in regard to the Holocaust, “Never again.”

I can’t say we have anything to fear from the Germans anytime soon, but for Obama to telegraph such moral equivalency is a disturbing message to send to our enemies.

It would be in bad taste to say it in Germany, but the only message regarding Dresden that our enemies should hear is, “If you think that was bad, you ain’t seen nothing. Just try us.”
