Do you think my dog has wolf blood in her (DNA testing)

Probably the German Shepherd in it, not the Mal. GSD tend to be very dog aggressive.

I'm sorry, but you're fooling yourself if you think Alaskian Malamutes aren't aggressive. They're cities in the US that have restrictions on them, they've killed 7 less people than German Shepard (Just so we're clear, the number is 12 vs 19), while not even comparing to the popularity of them, and finally they're an insurance risk (as in some insurance companies won't even cover your home if you own one). Now, what does this tell you about the Malamute?

You can sit there and keep lying to yourself that the dog you have in front of you is suppose to be fluffy, nice and not aggressive or you can accept reality, read up on their behavior, and train your dog accordingly.

Not to familiar with these type of dogs. Never really cared for them. However, I am skeptical about claims of dog attacks. Certain dogs require more physical activity than others. Ie., a Labrador, German Shepard, Great Dane vs Chihuahua, poodle, insert tiny dog here. Americans are known to be couch potatoes...
Yes, some dogs require more expertise to properly nurture and train them, but it is not ok to put a blanket statement over XYZ dog breed.

Not really the animals fault if they get an incompetant owner...
It amazes me how I have seen many people with Huskies, and the owners have no clue...

It can be that you're dog does not respect you in the master/servant relationship. ...

What are you talking about? They're supposed to be self reliant. And there is no requirement for the dog to say hello to me. It has nothing to do with leadership.

Are you talking about babies/infants? Golden Retrievers have killed those too. It says nothing about the breed.

Btw, a working line German Shepherd, you know those that are supposed to "mentally stable" , snapped at me in a dog park, and bit my shoulder out of left field. My dog was not attentitive to what transpired, but if she would have been, and the attack would have been prolonged, that GSD would have been killed.
