I sure hope Western nations will show the world our moral values have the same resilience as in these dark hours.

Bump, AF! I hope you run for higher office one day in France. You could be in a good position to influence us as well as your countrymen and fellow EU "citizens."

Ah-ha, watch out, for you might get what you're asking for ! LOL.

Politics have always interested me, especially international politics, which to me have more to do with moral rectitude, analytical capabilities and common sense than any other field of public activity.

But hey, even if in some grandiose fantasy of mine I presided over this country's destiny, I'm sure of one thing : I'd get blasted 10,000 times a day on this here Forum ! LOL

I'll strike a deal with you : should I get into politics full-time, I'll still lurk around here so I can be flamed and defend my positions.
