D-Day is a reminder that the US can’t retreat into isolationist self-blame

Thursday’s D-Day commemorations in Normandy, France, were a deeply moving occasion.
Many of the last surviving veterans of the day made their way (most likely for the last time) to the scene of that glorious horror 80 years ago to the day.
Even President Biden did not fail at the task in hand. While standing by French President Emmanuel Macron, he did suddenly did one of those strange body freezes that come over him — as though he is trying to locate and sit on an invisible chair.
But when he got up to speak, he spoke well. At no stage did he start to reminisce about what he had done on the day.
We were not treated to one of those strange times when Biden inserts himself into historic situations.
I might add that his audience yesterday might be the only one in the world in which the president looks like a relatively young whipper-snapper.
