I've never seen any research suggesting that a serious number of Germans are opposed to the presence of American troops. It's pretty much a non-issue for most people though, much like it is with American troops in the UK. As they don't actually do anything nobody really cares that much.

Not what I was saying - most iraqis are probably happy with us being over there - but they're still occupied, because even if they weren't happy - **** 'em. We stay.
