Things are somewhat changing in Germany and Europe now but Merkel has been a US pawn in the past. Sad. But I live in the ultimate poodle paradise when it comes to having an elite that bends over every time America coughs. I suspect that the UK will be the very last nation on earth to cut the binding ties from Washington...I am not sure about the power structure at the top, sometimes it seems to me that there are lots of British shadow players trying to get the US trying to do its bidding. And there is the israeli element, sometimes leading the US around as a poodle. In the period of 911 I definitely see Saudi and Pakistani traces as well.
The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
