I stand second to none in my admiration for the Marquise. One of my ancestors fought with him at the Battle of Yorktown. He was an honorary American citizen and at odds with the current regime when the key was bestowed. That said, your equating the key with the Elgin marbles, defining Lafayette's citizenship and concluding it should not be returned, is an invalid syllogism (συλλογισμός).
