Coming soon to a venue near your home. I despise Obama but I have to give him props for following GWB's policies IRT muslim dirtbags pretty much to the letter.

The suspect, who has been named only as Thomas al-J
Oh, of COURSE! If he was a Christian planning to blow up an abortion clinic, his name would've been fully released. Make him a Muslim terrorist looking to attack a government building, though, and you have to keep his name secret.

When I first read this, it almost looked like "Austrians planned 9/11"

Am I the only one that thinks any picture taken of the Reichstag looks like it was taken decades prior?

Well, the structure of the building certainly went through hell - the fire in 1933 that pretty much solidified Hitler's power grab; the Soviets' onslaught and rape of Berlin in April 1945; and the stem-to-stern gutting of the building after Reunification and the return of the seat of government to Berlin.
It's an impressive building. I don't know much about the architecture, but it's formidable.

The glass dome was put on after I left in 1995-- it just looks wierd to me.
Of course it had a contemporary glass dome when originally built-- destroyed in the 1933 fire and replaced with a flat roof-- but it, well, matched the architecture better.

I left in '91 and the building hadn't been renovated yet. Actually, at the time I was there ('83 to '91), I went in the Reichstag only once. The plenary chamber where the Bundestag would've met had the capitol been in Berlin, was fully outfitted, but completely empty...
...awaiting that day.
I sure as hell don't remember any dome -- not surprising since it wasn't there.
