It's a VERY famous graffito from the Berlin Wall, on the section just past
the ruins of the old central railway station.

I have no idea of your appearance, so I'll pass on the "ugly" -
but I might well propose "ignorant", which seems to characterise
most of your country's actions at the moment.

Especially linking Al Quaida (religious fundamentalists) with Saddam (about
as secular as you can get) and then going to war on the premise.

(It means, BTW: "What? Never seen a wall before?")
