http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101001/ap_on_re_as/europe_terror_threatthis is stupid, i clicked on it thinking 'wow, some german people were behind the 'latest terror plot'? thats wierd'
only to find out that the 'germans' and 'british' men they were talking about were in fact camel jockeys.
look, its one thing to refer to a person of 'ethnic' origin from America as an 'American', because America is not a nation-state, its just a manufactured country made up of all ethnicities with no common culture.
but a 'german' and a 'brit' have their own culture, language, history, appearance/characteristics, and their own nation-state.
so no, Yahoo, it wasnt a 'german' man or a 'british' man, it was middle-eastern men who had moved to germany and britain, yes there is a (huge) difference.
