The German people has learned the hard way how it ends to invade a country
trying to establish an imperial hegemony. We could help you to take the
shorter route avoiding bloody streetfighting in Bagdad. I know at least two
friends of mine and myself who would forget their peace loving character
and hurry to liberate the American people from the Bush administration.
You just have to call out for help!
We already have one bridgehead on US territory: actor Sean Penn suggested,
true "patriotism" today meant to overthrow the present Government.
So please call out for help. The German people is a true friend of the US
people. We will set over the Atlantic and liberate you , just like your
grandfathers and fathers did 60 years ago with the German people. Promised.
