#2 That would be my Dad, among others--thanks.
I am so upset about the Germans being invited to this by their gay lover the French that I could scream!
How is President Bush going to be able to attend this on behalf of the United States without getting very sick like his dad did in Japan?
BUSH-A-WA!
Seriously, the Germans need to be disinvited.
That is NOT right.

#3 My Grandfather walked accross Utah Beach. (he passed on in 2000). Not sure if he'd care about the German political situation either way. He once said he had more respect for the German Soldiers then he ever did for the Parisians. When the war was over and he spent some occupation time in Germany, he said the Germans we're the best group of people he'd met over there (He was also in Belgium, Luxembourg, England, and obviously France.) Interesting view in light of today's situation I think.

#4 For the 60th anniversary, France has invited leaders of World War IIâs Allied nations, including President Bush.

If I were GWB, I wouldn't bother going.

"No thanks, Jacques, but I have other more pressing matters...."

Hell he needs to go! And carry a snarling German Shepherd on a short-leash and demand that everybody either get to work or get to hell off his beach.

#7 Chiraq wants to use these commemorations as a propaganda card for showing that we are all friends again. I hate that duplicity. It sickens me. I think, though, that GW should go, and while there, take the high ground, emphasizing the lengths that we went and will go to defend our and other's way of life. Maybe Chiraq needs a roadmap from us how to get out of the gutter, if he ever gets motivated. French perfidy is like getting gasoline in your mouth. The bad taste just does not go away for a long time.
