Has Germany integrated these thoughts into its foreign policy?

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
I'd say for a long time after WWII there was rather too much idealism in German foreign policy - so yes. Although that doesn't mean it's necessarily the neocon type of idealism.BlahComment

Obviously a key difference would be the lack of the whole "use of military force" part, given Germany's (clearly justifiable) concern about foreign deployment post-WWII.
