One more time, slowly.

"Reagan acknowledged the evils of the past, and was making a point to show that despite that past we could now work together." That's what YOU said, right? So, the intent of the wreath laying was to say, "We forgive you the atrocities, now let's move forward". It was fucking clear to even the most blind that we were capable of "working together" with West Germany (FFS!!!ONE1) without have to lay a wreath on the graves of dead SS.

Huge diff. Says so right in the first sentence of the NYT article: - (CRConrad) - (21) - Aug. 21, 2017, 04:56:43 AM EDT
