Well, they should not have done it ... but I don't like this fad of apologizing for
what our grandfathers did. Empty words that can't help the poor buggers who
were attacked in the first place.

Erecting a monument to him - somewhere prominent would be far better, show that
this country recognises techincal achievement rather than honouring politicians
& those air heads in the entertainment business.
