It doesn’t really make sense to compare a world war (initiated by Germany) with a terrorist attack (shaped by a long history of people being instrumentalized in a Cold War context) - unless you’re trying to imply something specific. What exactly?

Also, I was born in Dresden - I know firsthand what it looks like to play the victim while ignoring the bigger picture.
