Bernard Kouchner, a long-term humanitarian advocate, said he came close to stepping down over the French government's new law and order crusade against the Roma gypsies. The French foreign minister, Bernard Kouchner, told RTL radio on Monday that he had considered resigning over the French government's recent crackdown on Roma Gypsies. Kouchner said he told President Nicolas Sarkozy about his concerns and his thoughts of stepping down. He decided to remain in the job, saying that leaving amounted to 'deserting.' "I asked myself whether I should resign, Kouchner said. "But what would have that changed? No, I was not happy about this policy. I've been involved with the Roma for 25 years. And I don't like making a political issue out of them."

Cry me a river. Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.
Ha ha ha.
