There are several memorial plaques there to honor both the British and German soldiers who died in the attack on the church. A man who was looking at the church at the same time as I was marveled aloud at the need for more of the kind of humanity that recognizes itself even in its enemies. We had a long discussion about the period when he worked for a US company that specialized in military contracts and he spoke very highly of the way the company's leaders conducted themselves with humility. I said I hoped that this kind of leadership was coming back into style in the US. He mentioned that our president is a good role model for just the kind of leadership he had admired in his former bosses and I was happy to agree. It's easy to forget how poorly Bush represented us on the world stage."
