French President Jacques Chirac and his US counterpart George Bush will stand side by side at next weekend's D-Day ceremonies, but they remain sharply divided on Iraq and the US-led "war on terror". The French people, 60 years after thousands of young US soldiers died on the Normandy beaches during the Allied landings, are still genuinely grateful to the United States for liberating them from Nazi occupation. A Bush-Chirac summit in Paris on Saturday and D-Day commemorations on Sunday, including a Franco-American ceremony at the American war cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, will be a testament to that gratitude.
