It is a French tradition to decorate a foreign artist in Cannes, or in other intenational events. Once, it was Silvester Stallone who received it... Well at least the word "Kurdistan" does not afraid our minister... Probably that the White House will see it again as a personnal attack of frog-eaters against US policy... too bad for French American relations...
