PS: I note they didn't mention cheering crowds. In the age of tv and political cynicism that would be asking a bit much and they can't be forced onto the street as they can in North Korea, Iraq and China. The Chinese 50th celebrations were funny like that too, with Jiang Zemin riding up and down in a silly limousine, with him shouting "Sieg" and the crowd roaring back "Heil" [or whatever the Chinese equivalent was]. As seen on tv.
