    so? The question was alignment. Austria/Germany and US/England? Or are you debating the "better ends"?

    And what numbers are you referring to? The Holocaust number of people killed? 7 mil? Explain...

      "You followed in killing the Jews and invading your neighbors during WW2."

      Darling, we weren't even a country back then. And it's 58 years ago.

      "Followed in a course of weak conscript military."

      First, our military is so much weaker than the german one, even adjusting for size, it's funny. Second, who designed our military? You guessed it - the yanks.

      "Also, I talked to a lawyer who said that often judgements and interpretations in Germany end up taking effect in Austria a few years later."

      That's true for laws that have a common root, like the HGB. It's not true for law that comes from different traditions, like administrative law. Is that everything?

      "I have rather good reason for respecting this person's knowledge of law and policy in these countries."

      Mommy!!!

        You accepted the Anchluss. you were certainly more closely aligned. since you became the same country. And it was certainly to a worse end.

        The 58 years ago point is relavent.

          But in all seriousness, I think Austria and Germany hew a closer line than US/UK. You probably magnify the German differences since you are so close to the trees. Visit all trhe countries and think a little bit about the bigger picture and you will see the forests better. Heck, we have interestes in the Pacific where the UK doesn't even come into the equation.

                Oh we are certainly a lot closer culturally. But politically, between governments, the US/UK alignment is stronger. Longer term, the cultural differences will be its undoing.

                    I still meet people who say that it is one people and should be the same country.

                          Much simpler would be to take the first word from the bigger country (as they are bigger they should have the first word) and the second from the smaller
