I’ve been a bit confused by this too. It would have been too much of a pain to have gone to this. The amount of security and logistics would have been a waste of tax money.
But I’m not going to stand in the way of the firing squad.
It’s amazing how the political angle of this story has turned everything upside down. I think most Freepers would have rightly scorned a Republican president who attended a rally like this in France. LOL.
These preening Euroweenies with their “symbolism over substance” march for unity are the same dolts that let his happen. I think we should have sent Kerry. He would blend in with the priggish twits standing arm in arm for a photo-op while letting their countries be destroyed.
