Sarkozy snubs Queen Elizabeth

I just can't believe my French Governement didn't invite Elizabeth II. She, after all, was involved in the 2nd WW. However, I know our President is 'AMERICA AMERICA' Regards to all my British friends.

Since she distinguished herself last time by being the only representative who is not elected, the only representative who does not applaud, and the only representative who expects the elected representatives of other countries to bow and curtsey to her, is this surprising?

Regardless of how one feels about the monarchy she is the head of state (not Brown) of both Canada and UK, two nations that took the landing of three of the five landings on Normandy beach that day, therefore it's a grave insult to the Canadian and British soldiers that she wasn't given an automatic invite because it belittles their involvement.

I think it possible the reason she doesn't seem to enjoy events like these it due to her seeing these occasions as somber, not something to politicise and use to make herself look good in the way politicians clearly see it. She did after all live through WWII and is the only living head of state that can say she's a WWII veteren.

I also wonder who the British and Canadian veterens there will be able to salute?...
