Here's the last part of that article:

Although security was tight in Sainte-Mère-L'Eglise, several hundred local people lined the streets for several hours in the rain, chanting "Chirac" and "George Bush" and waving US and French flags.

One elderly man complained that the anti-capitalist, anti-globalist and pacifist demonstrations against Mr Bush in Paris and Caen on Sunday – and a new protest in Caen yesterday – were "completely misplaced".

"There may be disputes with the Americans today. That is normal. But these protesters forget what these young Americans did for us in 1944," he said.

Let's hope more French are aligned with the gentleman speaking in the last two paragraphs than with the protestors we've seen on the news. Something in me always wants to strongly remind the French that they could be part of Germany if not for the brave U.S. military who gave their lives to liberate them.
