Germans: Friend or Foe

Ever since WW2, Germany has been an unpopular with America. The first thing that is thought when Germany is spoke of is Hitler. Some citizens of the country are neo-nazis. I hate nazis, but as for the rest of the citizens, should we all blame the Germans just because they are Germans. So I ask, why would this happen if we hate them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geFCRNOWni4 Yes, if you haven't seen it on Fox before, you'd probably got stupifyed just now. Non-Democrats/Liberals call it propaganda. I call it something else. Chancellor Angela Merkel seems disgusted by his actions. Is he cheating on his wife, if not, then what. Whatever the reason, he set a bad representation to the U.S. There is always fear that Germans are bad but it can't all be true (I have 3 different friends who are German-American). We cannot think that they are born like that. Look at the British. We hated them during the Revolutionary War and in the mid-1800's. Compare that to now. The U.S. and U.K. are like best friends. Now that Germany is a democracy, we should try to improve relations, not worsen them.
