They were the enemy. They were the ones trying to take over the world and killing people on a horrific scale who did not conform and meet the standards of a nazi. If other countries want to put aside a day to honor their own fallen soldiers, fine with me. I have been hearing that things are going good in Iraq lately. Biggest sign is that they are no longer front headlines. The whole issue seems to have dropped out of sight. Terror attacks on a world wide basis - have actually dropped recently. Of course, this may not last, but I try to be optomistic. Unfortunately, this turn around did come a lot later than most have thought.
