I donīt fully agree here. Many comrades who grew up in Soviet occupied middle-Germany prefered the communist occupation to the multicultural democracy that was forced upon the west. After all they were culturally left in peace and the encomiums to the Soviet masters were so artificial that nobody really felt connected to it.

but now the Soviet Union has disintegrated theirs no need for tank divisions facing the east, i think Bush has realised this he did make a speech about pulling some forces out of Germany, whether this has actually happened i dont know.

They are reducing their troops and already have uninstalled their Echelon spy system (which of course is build up somewhere else now). Unfortunately, the dumb German citizens now cry about the reductions because of all these jobs that get lost. People cry when occupation troops leave their countries!
