Everything sounds better in French

Yesterday I wrote about the trials and tribulations of Silvio Berlusconi who has had some, but fortunately not all, of the charges against him dropped because of a law on the statute of limitations that was brought in under his stewardship of the Italian state.

Today we find that the French may have it right and that Jacques Chirac, currently immune from prosecution as the French head of state, could face prosecution after he leaves office because of a law that was brought in by his government.

I prefer the French way myself.
