1. Germany was closely allied with Japan. They coordinated all sorts of things.\n\n2. Immediately after we declared war on Japan, Germany declared war on us.\n\n3. America had to be dragged kicking and screaming into World War II. We attacked Japan because they attacked us. We attacked Germany because they declared war on us. We did not pre-emptively strike anyone, and we did not fight against Stalin because he did not attack us or declare war against us.\n\n4. By "anti-Iraq wackos" I assume you mean Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and the rest, since they manufactured a false reason to go to war with Iraq, and abused the American military as a political tool to slaughter thousands upon thousands of Iraqis.

The culture....OMG...it is so much closer to the German culture.  Look at the past, look at what happened. Also, look at today.  Those two countries, politically, are closer allies than France and Spain.

US tried to stay neutral for a while.  The US didn't like the unrestricted sub warfare, so after attacks on American merchant ships, Wilson declared war on Germany.

WWI began in 1914.  Germany is regarded as the primary agressor, but nationalist sentiments played a big role in all European countries, and there was great enthusiasm for the war on all sides.  Germany was allied with Austria-Hungary and Turkey (then known as the Ottoman Empire) against Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and later the United States (Japan also made small contributions on the allied side in order to seize German overseas posessions).  The U.S. entered in 1917, after Germany adopted a policy of unresctricted submarine warfare which was striking at U.S. shipping interests (including the supply of munitions to Britain) and inflicting civilian casualties.  The war ended on November 11th 1918. The uneasy peace which followed set the stage for all the major 20th century problems, from WWII, to the rise of communism, to the Balkan Wars, to the current tensions in the middle east. Bummer.

Can't say for Germany, as I have never looked into it, but I would assume that they have similar standards as the US does.  US requires legal entry into the US, a bona fide address and a permanent US address for a non citizen to join the military.  Military service can help to expedite someones citizenship, but does not guarantee it.

Here is a summary...but I assure you there are great resources online:\n\n At the start of the war, President Wilson had declared the neutrality of the United States. Most Americans opposed US involvement in the European war. But the sinking of the Lusitania and other German actions against civilians drew America sympathies to the Allies. German military leaders believed that they could still win the war by cutting off British supplies. They expected their U-boats to starve Britain into surrendering within a few months, longer before the US had fully prepared for war. Tension between the US and Germany increased after the British intercepted and decoded a message from Germany's foreign minister, Arthur Zimmermann, the German ambassador to Mexico. The message known as the "Zimmermann note", revealed a German plot to persuade Mexico to go to war against the United States. The British gave the message to Wilson, and it was published in the US early in March. Americans were further enraged after U-boats sank several US cargo ships.

Have you been in Germany lately? Unemployment and poverty are great again. Even if you received a German Passport you would have problems in Germany, go on line and read the German Newspapers, you can get them translated in English, you will find out what the problems in Germany and Europe are.\nWhile Millions of people fight to come to the US you want to subject yourself to a society who is notorious for their elitism.\nI am a German-American and I know from experience what the conditions are. German Newspapers to read on line: Bild Zeitung\nFrankfurter Allgemeine, Der Spiegel, Stern, there are so much more available.

The answer to these few questions will help out:\n- When was the US Stock Market Crash?\n- What had Germany just admitted guilt to (think of a big treaty named after a big place and a big event in history that had just happened)?\n- What political party began to take hold in the German government?\n- Who did the Germans stereotype as being responsible for the economic depression?

At the end of WWI, the US very much wanted to help rebuild and bring Germany back into the fold-in fact rebuilding Europe as a more integrated continent was forfront the the US devising of the League of Nations.  Unfortunately, the other allies very much wanted to punish Germany, to teach it a lesson, since they are still stuck in the "great powers" mindset.  This devastated the country, and allowed the growth of a "victim" mentality-used against Jews as internal enemies and the other European countries as external enemies.  At the end of WWII, the US was in a position this time to dictate that Germany would be rebuilt and reintegrated.  Though we don't like to see anything particularly good about Stalin's Russia (and there werent that many good things) they also kept punishment to a minimum, and integrated East Germany into their system..the cause of the poor conditions in East Germany was much more a factor of the system than it was of any punishment.  The German people themselves have maintained a very clear and active analysis of their collective guilt, which has been far more effective in resolving issues than external punishment.

The US has this tradition of embracing with love it's former enemies.  And this goes way back in our history.\n\nDuring our first 100 years, our hated enemy was England.  But during WW I, we formed a bond that stands today.  In WWII, Japan was the hated enemy that attacked us without warning.  Now, we are tight allies.  I was stationed for over a year in Japan, and I know the common Japanese citizen appreciates the US militart doing a large share of their protection.\n\nThe same holds with Germany, Italy, even Russia and China.  This country has a tradition of taking a former enemy and trying to be their friend.\n\nFor a good example, look at Lybia.  Once considered a threat, relations have stabilized.  There are even free trade talks being conducted, in an effort to improve their economy.\n\nThe only thing that prevents this from happening more often is how the other nation acts towards the US.  In North Korea, they still teach children the US is the enemy and must be destroyed.  Iran and Cuba also act antagonistic towards us.  I bet if they stopped the beligerance and acted friendly, they would be shocked at how much aid and money the US Government would freely give them.\n\nOverall, the US really only wants 2 things.  Friendship, and free trade.  If you act antagonistic towards us, we will be antagonistic back.  And if you restrict our trade, we will restrict yours to us.  Historically, that has been proven many times.\n\nAnd remember, Saddam was combined with Lybia 20 years ago.  Now Saddam is in jail, and Kadaffi is still in power, with improving relations with the US.  And Kaddafi even tried to get Saddam to pull out of Kuwait in '90.  WHich was the smart dictator, and which was the stupid dictator?

Not really. I grew up in the U.S. and I'd never heard of him until I came to Germany.
