One of my best friends is a senior NCO in the Luftwaffe in Berlin, and has been been a pretty big advocate of stronger German anti- and counterterrorism policies.

One of my other best friends works in airline security in Frankfurt am Main, and is pretty far to the left. He is OK on antiterrorism, but is one of those guys who tends to think that most of our counterterrorism efforts only breed more terrorists. It's pretty frustrating to argue the point, so we usually shift subjects and have a few more beers.
Tell your lib friend you heard that supporting Jews just breeds more Nazi's...
