Human relations tend to be more difficult when you're dealing with someone who weighs 30 kilograms more than you do. that's when you worry about whether a well-meaning gesture could produce complications. we have no problems with countries like madagascar or bolivia, for example. but germany is our neighbor and we have a shared past. besides, germany is powerful and ambitious and more than four times as large as we are. it makes complete sense that we would act cautiously. it's simply realpolitik.
