Should she f**k.

However, I was surprised to read this in The Observer;

How Josef Goebbels, the original spin doctor, must be chuckling in whichever inner circle of Hell he has been consigned to for the past 60 years. His clever manipulation of the truth about the Allied bombing of the city of Dresden still has life in it. The Nazi master of the big lie is still winning the propaganda game.
Last week German newspapers once again took up the cry that the raid on the capital city of Saxony in mid-February 1945 was a war crime. In the week ahead, the Queen, on a visit there, will apparently come under pressure not just to mourn the dead but to say sorry on behalf of the British people.

The article says it all really doesn't it?
o No the queen should do no such thing.

War is war, its horrible and nasty etc etc, But they bombed my Grannies chip shop, so I cannot forgive them lol.
Plymouth, Coventry, London etc. never got apologies so why should Dresden?

Plymouth has the ruined Charles Church which now sits in the middle of a roundabout as a reminder of the blitz which killed many Plymothians and Coventry retains its original, ruined cathedral, next to the replacement.

Although both cities were instrumental in the war (Devonport Dockyard and various motor works), neither one was such a vital crossroads for moving troops and armaments around - unlike Dresden.

Were he still alive, I imagine Goebbels would be an advisor to Fox News wink
Like Dianey said - should she ****. Hell no. Let the Germans apologise for their atrocities first.
She should abdicate and dissolve the royal family.
B****cks! they started it.
If the Germans are going to be putting presure on Liz while she is there to apologize, all she needs to do is take along a holocaust survivor to just stand behind her, arms crossed, giving them a don't-even-go-there look.
