And yeah, it sucks trees were taken down, but don't local governments screw up on that kind of stuff all the time. I mean, seriously both the US and France are great countries but need a wake up call if the thing that causes such an outroar is that someone cut down the wrong trees. What if you/we lived in a country where you could be arrested for walking with only two people at night or where reporters and news anchors "disappear" for dissenting. Think about it.

Uh, no, we never fought France, but we sent a whole lotta boys over there to fight on their behalf. They'd be speaking German right now in Paris if the U.S. hadn't gone over and defended France in 1917 AND 1944. So while I understand the guy took the cheaper option of cutting the trees down rather than pruning them, which is what he was asked to do, someone should have stepped up and said hey, let's at least find a way to preserve the bark. Or as one of the commenters said, at least take thorough digital pictures to preserve every carving and put them on the web or the WWII museum, etc.
