Invitations aren't issued for funerals, anyone may attend. How is it done in your country? Certainly if Chirac wanted to attend he would be welcomed and likely given a place of honor.

I dunno either but it was reported here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,96207,00.html

If he has any sense he'll change his plans and attend.

So what's the evil French dude doing on Friday? He's sending Foreign Minister Michel Barnier to the state funeral.

The Canadian PM says he's not coming, btw. Neither is Russia's Putin.

However, it doesn't insult me if these guys don't show. This isn't for them, it's for us.

While it was very impressive overall, two things struck me while watching the ceremony at the Capitol tonight.

1. We sure as heck have dang few politicians that can speak as well as Reagan did. Or even speak publicly at all. Stevens was embarassing. I hope Bush is practicing very hard. :rolliething: He needs to do well on this one.

2. I wish they did something like that for every soldier coming home in a box from anywhere overseas. I think it'd help our Congress if they had to see that.

Just my cranky observations.

Come to think of it, I think they should "eminent domain" all land within 600 yards of the Capitol and use that for Arlington's expansion. Then make them walk to work from parking lots outside the 600 yards. It'd give them time to reflect.

Gee, I am cranky tonight!

It's also reported at Bloomberg's.

French bashing? Hardly. Seems you're the sensitive one.

There's no doubt many here will take it as a slight.

Again, how would the French have felt if we had sent only the Secretary of State to De Gaulle's funeral? Would they have taken it as a slight?

Answer honestly, Scholz.

ive been looking at all kinds of news sources and nowhere is it mentioned that Chirac will not attend the funeral...all it does say is how all the world leaders had nice/positive things to remember Reagan by, including the statement from J Chirac.

Online papers from all over the world...and not a mention any in one of them either?
