...From the start, the soft-spoken but respected Senator Lugar, in his mildest, most diplomatic way, stated his concern that the former President's fundraising abroad might create an impression of a conflict of interest. "Foreign governments and entities may perceive the Clinton Foundation as a means to gain favor with the Secretary of State," he said. Therefore, he suggested, "even well-intentioned foreign donations [to the Clinton Foundation] carry risk for United States foreign policy...
...Harry fought Taliban forces in Afghanistan for 77 days, making him the first member of the Royal Family to serve in a combat zone since his uncle, Prince Andrew, flew helicopters during the Falklands War.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy declared "our country will not tolerate international tension mutating into inter-community violence", and promised no perpetrator of such trouble would "remain unpunished...
