Then I guess Germany isn't a country anymore, because they don't want to admit they were tribes of barbarians in ancient days, they can't claim Prussian heritage so much anymore since Prussia has been split off... twice from the mainland, they don't want to remember Imperialism (though US Imperialism I will admit, probably contributed to me being here and alive), then they want to forget anything related to the Third Reich...

Sooooo where is Germany going to go?

I fully understand their reasoning, but like I said, it hasn't stopped Japan and they practically self punished themselves after the war with their Constitution... and are just now starting to try and break that mold.
