(via Instapundit)  Sheesh, no sooner did I post up my article blaming German opposition to US intervention on moral equivalence, than I see this article from American Kaiser.  The Kaiser is writing about a ceremony at the German embassy in Israel commemorating (in part) the deaths of Nazi soldiers:

Here's what German military attache Colonel Ernst Elbers has to say about the ceremony:

The memorial ceremony is intended to symbolize "reconciliation," said Elbers. One of his innovative contributions to this reconciliation, in speaking to an Israeli audience, is the comment that in his opinion "there is no point in dividing the dead into `good' dead and `bad' dead."

That's exactly right. There are no "good dead" and "bad dead," only "dead." What a quintessentially European thing to say...

Elbers, who is posted in Tel Aviv for only about a year, defended his government's commemoration policy with an obstinacy not devoid of the familiar tone of an officer fulfilling orders.

That's it.   All choices that people make are just that... choices.   There's no downstream consequence and all choices are morally equivalent and, often, forced upon the individual where he has no volition.

I guess I should be happy that at least they're being philosophically consistent with their "intellectual" buddies debating Huntington/Fukuyama.  This makes me so angry.
