I don't think the Germany and France are enemies, but are we good enough friends to continue to be tied into NATO together, which is after all a military alliance, not just some trade treaty. I don't want to violate the German Constitution. I'd rather move our bases to a different country if it is going to be a problem. We can be friends, that's fine, but I would save military alliances for best friends--are we that or will we be that in the future? I don't pretend that Germany has turned its back completely on the US, but is anyone contending that there is not a strong anti-US trend in both France and Germany?
