Puerto Rico puts up life-size bronze statues of every president to visit their capital building. I walked along them. Some of them have policies I quite disagree with. You know what I did about it? Took pictures of the neat bronzework like a good tourist. The Obama one's got his hand out like a handshake, so I shook his statue-hand. The Roosevelt one is seated so I sat on his lap. Like a fun tourist should. Even if they may or may not have had policies that I think are reprehensible, the point of these statue is not those actions. It's to commemorate them remembering the USA protectorate non-State, not their actions in war or the like.
I don't see why others can't get simple things like that.
