Don't worry, on the 11 scale it's only about a 2/11...

I will try. At least Luxembourg is currently not of much strategic importance to anyone...

verlaine July 10 2005, 23:26:34 UTC

Luxembourg was all over the news today, as the first country to vote in favour of the new EU constitution in a referendum! Clearly it is a sleeping tiger...
