The real shame is in Reagan's refusal to cancel the cemetery visit
because such a change of plans would, as his staff has alleged,
signify weakness.  This adolescent bravado is the stuff wars get
started over.  Clearly, Reagan wishes the visit were never scheduled.
It doesn't help his position in an economic summit to lay a wreath
over SS troops that massacred villages in France.  Of course, all
his staff cared about was that these guys could not have been involved
in the massacre of Americans at Malmedy.  No, the only thing more
lamentable than Reagan's itinerary is his inflexibility about it.
