The Voice of Reason from Europe
On the eve of the pResident's visit to the 60th anniversary of D-Day besides thousands of demonstrators in Italy (more expected in France) europeans prepare for the reception of a US President never recorded in history.
I was just a kid watching President Kennedy's reception in Paris by General De Gaulle and the sumptuous parade down on the Avenue des Champs-Elyses toward the Arc de Triomphe in royal carriage with white horses and crowds by thousands cheering on.
I believe this is not going to happen this time, since the europeans can see through a fascist propaganda. Here are some excerpts of their opinion:
THE OUTLAW BUSH ADMINISTRATION By Nicole Bacharan, LeMonde (read the whole article)
"Some people will say that no war is clean, that sadism is unfortunately inherent in human nature. But that is precisely why there are rules to protect combatants from individual acts of barbarism, or worse yet, from barbarism sanctioned by the state. Indeed this war above all others is a war of ideas: it loses all legitimacy if civil or military authorities decide to trample on human rights."
They're not shy to utter the dreaded words:
"At his Inauguration, the President of the United States swears "to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." If this promise has been betrayed, it is up to the Congress to protect the nation.
In plain English, impeachment, the first step towards removal of the President from office."
