What Does the Liberation of Paris Celebrate?

According to a Le Monde poll, in which 6,900 website visitors participated, almost 45% think that the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Paris should be an occasion to celebrate the end of the Vichy régime and the return of democracy; over 32% think it should be an occasion to celebrate the fight of the French resistance against the Germans; and less than 17% think it should be an occasion to celebrate America's assistance to France.
