re: #98 Nevergiveup

The Six Day War started on June 5th 1967. Any correlation, or just bad timing? At least I think it is bad timing.

I think his venue for that day is Buchenwald and (?) Dresden.
Barack Obama to walk in footsteps of uncle who helped free Buchenwald

Visiting a concentration camp will send an important message to Israel and Jewish voters back home — who have sometimes been suspicious towards him — that he fully recognises the horrors of the Holocaust.

But he will be aware of the sensibilities of his German hosts before the D-Day commemoration and by travelling to Dresden — a city destroyed by ferocious Allied bombing in February 1945 — Mr Obama will also acknowledge how Germany suffered during the Second World War.
