US Ambassador to Luxembourg Cynthia Stroum and the Professionals


My friends:

More than a year ago, we followed here step by step the nomination and then the arrival of the new US Ambassador Cynthia Stroum in Luxembourg. Luxembourg, the dream of any aspiring diplomat! Our excitement was also great because of the "mostest" famous predecessor, Pearl Mesta, the first woman Ambassador ever. Remember her in Irving Berlin's musical "Call me Madam"? She ends up falling in love with Luxembourg's Secretary of State, who by the way was wearing one of those irresistible uniforms.

But instead of a Happy End, Madam Cynthia Stroum left all of a sudden. We were wondering why? Did someone say something? Jean Asselborn didn't wear a uniform? Wikileaks? No my friends I'm so relieved, it was none of us. We would have kept the lady. So it was not a Happy End as we expected, but according to press articles, it is a thriller. Really? I read the stuff. See for yourself, it also gets you a link to the "sensitive but unclassified report".
