Please take this into consideration of Dreyfus' reappearance (SPOILERS)

Because, aside from the decoration from General Wadafi in Return of the Pink Panther, In Strikes Again, Dreyfus, disguising himself on the phone as Claude Duval (complete with a clamp on his nose to make him sound nasal), said that Clouseau was in the Surete for 19 years, and didn't get "as much as a single decoration." But then, in Revenge..., Douvier and his men (including Algo) saw Clouseau in the papers, which reported that he had been decorated. Probably it took his defeat of Dreyfus, saving the world from destruction, and bringing Dreyfus' henchmen and, sadly, Professor Fassbender to justice to get the decoration. Fassbender didn't want to be a bad guy, but he had no choice. He had to help Dreyfus destroy the UN Building to save his daughter, Margo. However, like I said, being a good guy at heart, he secretly programmed the doomsday device to make things disappear, only to reappear later, like transport it to a year or so into the future (because he knows about time-space continuum). It's like how in the 50th Issue of the Sonic the Hedgehog Comics that Robotnik used his doomsday device to annihilate Knothole Village, but he actually sent Knothole into the future, and Sonic, but not him. His nephew Snively reprogrammed the Ultimate Annihilator to only Annihilate his uncle. Although he briefly appeared later, the real Robotnik in the comics is dead. The current Robotnik, a.k.a. Eggman, is Robo-Robotnik, who transferred his intelligence to another body after an explosion.
Anyway, Fassbender was probably cleared by the time the UN Building reappeared, and I'm sorry if what I said was off-topic, but I just wanted to explain things. And also, in Revenge, Algo reported that Clouseau has survived 16 assassination attempts (2 were by Dreyfus, 14 by the 26 assassins from all around the world; one of them, the Egyptian, killed Dreyfus' crony Tournier, thinking he was Clouseau (big mistake, he's no more of a killer than Fassbender, but Fassbender is essentially a good guy, and Tournier was a criminal (but just a bank robber, not a killer); another one of them, the Russian (Olga Bariosova), due to a misunderstanding, fell in love with Clouseau; and the other 10 killed each other to try not let any other country get the credit for it, so they can't count as assassination attempts). Before Strikes Again, no one tried to kill Clouseau except Dreyfus (if you saw A shot in the Dark, you'll know that in Return..., he was responsible for the bomb, messing up with Clouseau's brakes in the trucks he drove (twice), trying to shoot Clouseau at the Nice Surete office, and, of course, obviously, killing Sharky when trying to kill Clouseau (who got countered by Sharky with the "Open Fly" ploy (even though, since Clouseau's shirt was wet and sagging, he couldn't have known that Clouseau's fly was open (a fatal mistake!).
So there you have it. What do you think?
