President Bush’s trip to Europe to mark the 60th anniversary of D-Day is being greeted by wide opposition in Italy and France. In Italy, 10,000 police officers have been deployed in Rome. Massive protests have forced Bush to cancel a planned trip to the historic Piazza Venezia where he was scheduled to lay a wreath at Italy’s tomb of the unknown soldier. In France, the Financial Times is reporting the government has banned all demonstrations in Paris during the president’s visit.
