Go to those Normandy beaches. See the memorials to the thousands of young men from many countries who died there. Understand the reality of the sacrifice they made.

In my experience, the French (and the Dutch and the British and the Polish etc.) are very grateful to every country that sent men to die in Europe. Does this gratitude mean that they have to agree in perpetuity with every (sometimes boneheaded) political decision that those countries make?


Newfoundlanders are the only people in heaven who want to go home.
