France

Good news out of France (!!), where Nicolas Sarkozy was elected as the French President: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070506/ap_on_re_eu/france_us_analysis. Sarkozy's election augurs well (I hope) for Franco-American relations, and has the definite potential to do likewise for Israeli-Franco interaction, which can be described as being frosty at best. Actions will speak louder than words, of course, but at least there is a slim reason to be optimistic on these matters for the first time in a long, long while...........

UPDATE (7:55 a.m., May 7): French Jews have reacted positively to Sarkozy's decisive victory over Segolene Royal: http://www.ajn.com.au/news/news.asp?pgID=3157.
