Yeah, a lot of German schoolboys in the last century
conceived that a number of other countries needed
liberating---and the fact that a large majority in
neighboring countries didn't agree, say 71% for example,
was not a factor.
Sounds like the young generation might be on the same
failed path as last time around. :-( Fifty thousand,
eh? Was it by any chance a torchlight get-together?

Funny, that. Then why no massing of the schoolboys to
liberate the Iraqi people from *them*, ever? Could it
possibly be, JUST POSSIBLY, that the U.S. is seen as a
superpower that needs cutting down to size, and that
this is the actual unconscious motivation?

Where were they when the tens of thousands of Iraqis
were being brutalized by that regime? Selling goods
to the Iraq regime, I've heard say.

Now I know I'm right about your deep feeling of wanting
to cut the U.S. down to size. I'm amazed that more
Europeans don't feel this same thing that you do. A
huge part of European culture has had the built-in
assumption for centuries of their ruling over the rest
of the world, and so watching the US and USSR usurp that
role simply cannot have gone down easily for many.
While I'm sure that I would feel the same way to a
small degree, I'd also be able to keep those feelings
very much in check, as in fact so many Europeans have
indeed shown they can do.
