How ironic it is that as the United States drifts away from Israel, France of all countries is increasingly supportive of the Jewish State: http://www.nysun.com/article/66067. You can't say that French President Nicholas Sarkozy is doing this because it is politically expedient, or because of international pressure. If anything, the "easy" thing for him to do would be to continue the policies of his loathesome predecessor, Jacques Chirac. Certainly, no one else in Europe is going in this direction.
Given Sarkozy's moves, I am sure that somewhere, Jacques Chirac is fuming.........

I don't know much about France, but perhaps the people realized the old policies were failing and wanted a new strategy. I was surprised that he recived a majority of the votes, but perhaps in the final vote there are only two candidates. or maybe his party now has a majority in Parlament.
