Did’t think there were enough Germans that are conservative and/or Christian anymore?

Not that that is the whole story but the governing party is called the "Christian Democratic Union of Germany"

That remind me about North Korea's official name which made me chuckle. It is:

Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)

One of the reasons I hate these kinds of discussions is that they are so boring and simplistic. The notion that "it's all the US' fault!" seems to always rear its head. I'm not a fan of a lot of US foreign policy, but people like Assad and Putin are 'not very nice people' to put it mildly, and have done more than their fair share to cause problems in Syria. Russia has a direct interest in Syria, BTW: https://en.wikip…

If you are curious about what the other side sees this as, this is a decent write-up - http://www.globalresearch.ca/why-syrians-support-bashar-al-a...

Let me just quote http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Globalresearch.ca "While many of Globalresearch's articles discuss legitimate humanitarian or environmental concerns, the site has a strong undercurrent of reality warping throughout its pages, especially in relation to taking its news from sources such as Russia Today RT[2] and Press TV.[3] Its view of science, the economy and geopolitics seems to be broadly conspiracist. Whenever someone makes a remarkable claim and cites Globalresearch, they are almost certainly wrong."
