True Friend: Bush – We should have bombed Auschwitz
US President Bush has left Israel, but before his departure he visited Yad Vashem the Holocaust memorial center here in Israel.
Laying a wreath to pay tribute, YNET reports the President was visibly moved. Yad Vashem can be a particularly somber and moving experience, the site was closed for security purposes so I would imagine it might be even more stirring as one passes through the various memorials & museum exhibits in relative silence, alone in one’s thoughts.

Wearing a yarmulke, Bush placed a red-white-and-blue wreath on a stone slab that covers ashes of Holocaust victims taken from six extermination camps. He also lit a torch memorializing the victims.”I was most impressed that people in the face of horror and evil would not forsake their God. In the face of unspeakable crimes against humanity, brave souls – young and old – stood strong for what they believe,” Bush said. ”I wish as many people as possible would come to this place. It is a sobering reminder that evil exists, and a call that when evil exists we must resist it,” he said.
Bush was visibly moved during his hour-long tour of the site, said Yad Vashem’s chairman, Avner Shalev. ”Twice, I saw tears well up in his eyes,” Shalev said. At one point, Bush viewed aerial photos of the Auschwitz death camp taken during the war by US forces and called Rice over to discuss why the American government had decided against bombing the site, Shalev said.
”We should have bombed it,” Bush said, according to Shalev. In the memorial’s visitors’ book, the president wrote simply, ”God bless Israel, George Bush.”
Indeed, he already has Mr. President.
