And we worry about John Bolton

Germany's ambassador to Great Britain chose the wrong day to gripe about the Brits not having gotten over WWII. That, of course, is the 60th anniversary of V.E. day. The situation is described in a UK Independent article which I found at Drudge.

There could be other factors. The Independent or the German Ambassador could be reacting to tensions created by the Iraq War and Labour's victory this week. The Independent might have done some surgical quote lifting on the ambassador. Also (and this I know from about every Brit I've ever encountered personally) the English people do still carry emotional baggage from that war. For all the pain they experienced, I can't blame them.
