#1 I would still prefer the US president not to invite undesirable men to a country he doesn't rule.

#2 I got this in an email a while ago:

It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

He did this because he said in words to this effect:

'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened'

This week, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated' while the German people looked the other way!

Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets

How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center ... 'NEVER HAPPENED' ... because it offends some Muslim in the U.S. ???

I wonder why Nutjob feels the need to deny the Holocaust.

Well, he doesn't rule any country. He administers the government of our's - and quite poorly at that.

#4 I think Ah-Madman-ejad would simply view it as inspiration....

#5 "Well, he doesn't rule any country."

They forgot to tell the Secret Service in Germany

#6 Let me explain:

President Bush wasn't beloved here but he came to see a country and its leaders.

He didn't treat this country (and all others) as a background and stage

#7 To Obumble, all the world's a stage. Never forget that he is a narcissist.

#8 At Omaha Beach, Gordon Brown, with astounding tackiness, declared it to be "Obama Beach". But following with that idea, maybe they should refer to Buchenwald as "Obamawald".

#9 I thought many of the old veterans looked a little... brittle during Barry's speech, especailly the gentleman the camera caught bent over with his head nearly between his knees holding his ears. I thought Sarko did an excellent job, as did Carla.

#10 President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who again this week called the Holocaust a great deception, should visit the site of the Buchenwald concentration camp""

why? so he can get an Olbermann tingle down his leg?

#11 "He should make his own visit," Obama said. "I have no patience for people who would deny history. And the history of the Holocaust is not something speculative."

I don't care for Obama, but objectively he said the right thing here. That should be noted.

#12 that should be unnecessary, except to the muslim fanatics Obama apologized to

#13 I don't care for Obama, but objectively he said the right thing here. That should be noted.

It would be the right thing, if one actually thought Ahmadinejad didn't think the holocaust happened.
