Around Europe, V-E day will remain an anniversary with an edge...
...Michael Schiavo abandoned his marriage vows to Terri years ago. Yet our nation's courts gave him the right as her husband to condemn her to a prolonged death. Michael claims that Terri wouldn't have wanted to live as she did for the past 15 years: cared for by her loving family and apparently without suffering.
