@ReignOfApril It really wasn't a debate, here in France. TBH, a lot of us would have preferred it if other heads of state had stayed away.

That's what any real leader would have done.

for all the world's troubles. Had he gone the terrorists would have either surrendered or changed their ways.
Pity.

They know they could get THEIR 'news' networks to promote as 'fact' any lie they choose to create.

part of the mourning.
They could have sent cardboard cutouts of themselves and saved some time.
Sad.
