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.

I think the President hit the nail on the head when he got upset with the reporter that asked him why Europeans did not seem to like him or his administration. Bush's response was to ask him why he did not see the people who lined the streets waving American flags. The liberal media is not about to show that. They want the American People to believe Europeans hate us. The media is liberal, we all know it, they know it and they are not about to report the news even close to fairly when a Republican President is in office.
