An earlier version of this story mistakenly attributed a quote to Obama. "Let all the souls here rest in peace, for we shall not repeat the evil" is the English translation of the epitaph from the Hiroshima memorial. It was not part of Obama's speech.

Correct, it's the epitaph at the Heroshima memorial. Where Obama laid a wreath, which necessarily means he endorses what it says.
Today is the anniversary of D-day. Maybe Obama will say "let us remember the innocent victims of the Panzer divisions and the Luftwaffe, who were minding their own business, throwing frisbees and grilling some bratwursts at Omaha Beach, when
DEATH emerged from the Higgins boats and rained fire and lead on the sunbathing Germans. Our world has known war since man first learned to talk, therefore what the Germans were doing in WWII is no different than what any other country has ever done. So who are we to sit in judgement of others."
We have a commander-in-chief, who cannot correctly discern the good guys from the bad guys, in WWII of all conflicts. There is nothing in the entire historical record simpler than that, and he couldn't do it.
Obama - always wrong, yet never in doubt.
