What is it with the Germans!! (from Jim Miller on Politics)

   

Good Grief!  I wasn't expecting the Germans to be unanimous in approving the death of bin Laden; in fact I was pretty sure that they would be less happy about it than most Americans are.  (Most, but not all.  Michael Moore — no surprise — is one of the exceptions, and there are others you may have heard of.)

But I wasn't expecting this:

A Hamburg judge has filed a criminal complaint against Chancellor Angela Merkel for "endorsing a crime" after she stated she was "glad" that Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces.  Meanwhile a new poll reveals that a majority of Germans do not see the terrorist's death as a reason to celebrate.

Now I suppose that Germany has a few nutty judges, just as we do, but this is still pretty amazing.
