I wish the Germans could have voted on this treaty as well, but our whoa-so-democratic politicians think that everyone is going to turn into a nazi as soon as they allow the people to vote on important issues 
Probably. There is almost nobody blaming us (germans) for the WWII - besides our politicians. Everytime the NATO, UNO or whoever asks us for military help the same big discussion about the sensitive treatment of the bad history starts all over again. Well, I do not know how history is treated in other countries but I am pretty sure that the western nations do not think any minute about their history in various regions of the world (e.g. remember what happened to the native americans after Columbus discovered America) when forming a force to help one or the other nation in a military way.
