Headline unfair to Germans

The headline on page A2 in the Providence Journal today ( Sept. 24 )

    - Germany's dislike of foreigners emerges as issue in election " - is, I

    think, rather unfair to Germany and Germans. If a Turkish punk in Israel

    a Mehmet type -was deported , would we expect stories about Israel's

    " dislike of foreigners " ? If I am not mistaken, the " foreign " punk

    is loathed everywhere  for the same reason a boorish " guest " is

    loathed in our own home .

          It is too easy to associate your headline with Germany's Nazi

    past. I am absolutely convinced that what happened in Germany in the 1930s

    could happen even HERE . It scares me today how easily " normal " people

    can be misled by psychopaths with an agenda and a lot of money .

        Most Germans today have no more connection to the Nazi movement than

    white people in America have to the slave trade of centuries past.

           " GUILT " is not hereditary.
