Gee, one person says the war dead in Bitburg were 16 year olds,
another says they were 14 year olds, and another says that Bitburg
is really like Arlington. Well, I realize that it may sound
heartless to protest the presidents visit to the graves of these
innocent 12 year olds. I mean, at the age of 10, how responsible
were you for your actions. And it may be that the eight year olds
who lie buried in that cemetery were victims of Nazism too.

But to me, this all sounds a little like all those Germans after
the war explaining how they of course had nothing to do with it,
and had no idea what was happening. I'll buy it from some Germans,
but not from all of them.

And there are indisputably bodies in that cemetery of men who
were not 8, 10, 12, 14, or 16, and who knew about the slaughter,
and who took part in it.
