Yup...as I recall they tried to imply it was as SS cemetary...funy how, when the Germans do it, it's "closure", when Reagan did it..it's deplorable..

Yep..I am hoping that Fox News will point out the incongruity of everyone praising this action while condemning Reagan's

Not trying to create "work" for you...but if you have time and inclination to search for some of those old articles....probably the NY Times or WP files, many here might enjoy the "flashback"

I remember that furor so well. The media really worked themselves up over it.

In an emotional gesture of reconciliation, President Reagan and Chancellor Helmut Kohl recalled the most monstrous acts of World War II Sunday and told citizens of the United States and West German "the horror cannot outlast the hope."
