I protested against the visit and Reagan's holding hands with Kohl over the graves at the German war cimitary in Bitburg because there are some SSers amongst the drafted Wehrmacht soldiers buried there, who signed up, invaded and killed.

Although I don't want to see anybody killed I (like Fredouil) can shed no tears for them.
