Bishop Pierre Cauchon...

It was a joke... don't take it so personal-you're Belgian-American remember? ;-)

France gave the world Joan of Arc, albeit briefly, before abandoning her to the wolves.

France has given the world many, many good things. However, any country that old always has some dirt...and France has its share as well.

The US isn't full of saints either. But we generally show less leniency to "foreign devils" than France.

Yes France is doing good work in cleaning up, perhaps even better than the US due to the high concentration of arabic speaking peoples in the nation, but largely it is a somewhat self-created and long overdue house cleaning.

Take care Raoul and enjoy the LONG European style Holiday vacation!
