[jeff, i'm sure you will agree with me on this one]

but, those who remain silent on an issue are accepting the decisions
of their leaders. 

The majority of the German people remained silent, and, unfortunatly, 
the majority of the US people have remained silent about our actions 
in Latin America.

If Reagan really wanted to recognize the lessons of WWII, he would,
as others have suggested, honor the German resistance. This is a
different matter from remembering the holocaust, which he should also
do.
