That'd be an interesting theory, if you had any real, specific evidence to say that Germany's 'culture and society' are in decline. As for 'no innovation has come from Europe', this statement is too broad to even be coherent. Do you mean cultural innovations? Automobile innovations? Sausage innovations?
Why would you ever quote Donald Rumsfeld? The guy is destined to go down as a fool according to all sides. Why not pick guys like Wolfowitz to follow around? At least then you gain some immediate intellectual legitimacy, and his articles would be a 100 times better than the tripe that begins this thread.

If my argument is so ridiculous...why not refute it?
What innovations have come from Europe, other than England, in the past decade?
As well, can you prove that (Old Western) Europes population isn't in decline. Without massive influx of immigrants (as well as the fact the immigrant reproduction is 2-3 times higher than that of the original inhabibitants) their populations would be in the minus? I think that will be difficult.
A population that is disappearing is a culture disappearing......
