Ugh, this forum is horrible. 
so much for it being a "left-wing circle jerk"
I'm sure there are more than a few left-wingers who would prefer a pro-Western foreign policy for West Germany at this point in time, especially given that frikkin' Stalin is still alive and kicking.
EDIT: In particular, there's a very very strong case that said pro-Western foreign policy, especially when contrasted with the reunification and/or irredentist goals of the left and far-right, is really the only responsible stance to take w/r/t world peace and preventing WWIII.
Pretty sure a neutral Germany would have meant far less tension in Europe.
