re: black hawk down - propaganda The reason that the argument appears to be 'anti american' is that we are now required to be either one way or the other, there is no middle ground. So you are either pro or anti the US push for war against Iraq.
The german foreign minister recently paid homage to the allies in particular the US, UK & Aust in freeing germany and EU from Nazi dictatorship and importantly for making germany the country that it is today, including the support during re-unification. Germany has only one issue of disagreement and for further discussion and that is the invasion of Iraq by the US in the EUs backyard.
