Germany is who should be embarrassed for having a law against insulting foreign leaders actually on the books. Germany? The light of western Europe? The economic powerhouse of Europe?

There are many times I so appreciate being an American citizen.

We (the U.S.) wrote the law, before we gave them their country back.
Just like MacArthur wrote Japan's constitution.
