Lew: You may be overly-alarmist about fears that the German government might use its military against its own people. The Germans have been major contributors to some of the best qualities of Western Civilization. What evidence is there that its government has ever turned against the people of that country? That would have made Germany a tyrannical police-state wouldn’t it? When did that ever happen? Next, you’ll be warning us that this could happen in America. But we have a constitution in this country, and that keeps the government from doing all of the terrible things that it does!
