     Becoming a democracy is often a messy business.   
     Not just for post war Germany (both times), but also after the Soviet   
   Union and the Iron Curtain fell in many countries.   
     Instead of being told what to do/think, people were allowed to do/think   
   on their own and there are also those looking to make a fast buck, mark,   
   ruble or Euro, regardless of who is hurt.   
     Sometimes people don't make good choices.

     There was historical tension between Germany, England and France going   
   back many, many years.     
      Its like a bully beating a guy to a pulp, taking what he has and then   
   kicking him while he's down.   
      The guy can do one of several things: either lay there or determine he's   
   not gonna take that again and work out at the gym, build up his muscles, etc   
   for "the next time".   
      
   > Yep. Many germans saw France as a kind of "sworn enemy"...   
      
      I have never cared for the Froggies.   
      Except for the days of Napoleon they were all bluster and show, but when   
   push came to shove they turn to jelly.   
      There's an old saying, "For sale.  French army rifle. Never fired.   
   Dropped once".

     I've using Nero for many years and to me the ONLY burning program to use.
