The United States military today is bigger, in dollars spent on it, than the militaries of the next largest fifteen countries combined - and those expenditures amount to only about four per cent of the country's gross domestic product."

"Should we always assume that sudden deaths were brought about by those who ultimately benefited from them? Such assumptions produce tidy history, but they may not becorrect." Und welcher Historiker könne schon mit Sicherheit sagen, wieviel Einfluss eine Frau tatsächlich […]

Eine Rekonstruktion der Al-Qaeda-Vorgeschichte […] Untergang des Dritten Reichs, die sinnlosen Verteidigungsschlachten eines längst verlorenen Kriegs, aber auch die Bestialität der Roten Armee:" Beevor's gut-wrenching tale is told from the perspective of those who lived, fought and all too often died in East Prussia and Berlin.

"Much depends on whether Mr Schröder has genuinely impressed Germans with his handling of the crisis or merely done what they expect of those in charge. For a few days, the dire state of the German economy, hitherto the dominant theme of the election, has scarcely been discussed. Mr Stoiber will be trying to ensure that the respite does not […]

But mostly for patriotic reasons: Czechs-like the Poles, who, with the Red Army, ruthlessly expelled 6m-8m Germans from what, after the war, became western Poland-feel those who began an appalling war have no claim to revise its effects."

Political cartooning is a refined art, especially in the UK, France and the US. But let's face it, those societies don't have to worry about the basics, which we still grapple with.
