and away from cars too. A woman with a drivers liscence is like a monkey with a handgrenade.

Do they drive cars in France? I thought they just burned them when they didn't like how the election turned out.

Rioting sounds a lot more fun than counting hanging chads...

It's just 'disaffected youths'

He wants better relations with the US,He's made that clear.I think France now, will have a bitter pill to swallow,Privatisation will cause more unemployment not less,as industries are privatised and err downsized.


The French are in for a lot of rioting and protest,and will have to be carried kicking and screaming into Sarkozy's new France.Just watch.


Strangely Sarkozy,of Hungarian and immigrant stock,intends to shut the door on immigration.

We never have any good riots around here... you have to go to a filthy craphole of a city to get a good riot around here.

Remember my forgotten cousins which helped you defend your new country...

that favor was returned not so long ago, ww1,ww2...and will always be appreciated by those who remember. Debts were paid in full, and then some...

France and the US have had more Diplomatic relations then almost any other country since the founding of the US...

Remember those that actually tried to 'grind' you into a not so new country...here just in case you forgot...BRITAIN!!! the redcoats, remember, the one's that didn't wanna let you have a new one...

Telling your closes friend to go **** himself if he doesn't help you is not the best damn Diplomatic way of going about it...Bush's error, and Chirac just as stupid as Bush played the same stupid name game...there must be a remedy somewhere...maybe Sarkozy will start that process.

just don't forget 'WHO' helped you create your new country...and remember the Frenchmen likes his freedom just as much as any American, and probably still ready to fight shoulder to shoulder should that freedom ever be questionned...

If "freedom" is socialism then I want no part of it.

You know.. It seems to me that the French contingent here on the AH2 BB could be having a field day with this.

I'm very surprised none of them have pointed out the the Americans just elected a whole slate of "cheese eating socialist surrender monkeys" and seem set to elect their own socialist female President, while the French elected a "time to get get tough" male right winger.

Turn about is fair play, non?

I found this article extremely interesting in the perspective that this new president plans to do exactly what Bush has done regarding tax cuts, and improved economic conditions.

In France, "W" won again
...It's not only on such issues as the global war on terrorism and preventing the Islamic Republic in Iran from developing a nuclear arsenal that Sarkozy is close to Bush. He has also promised a major tax cut, the first of its kind in modern French politics, the abolition of inheritance tax and more flexible labor laws. During the campaign, "Sarko" used a vocabulary that had all but disappeared from the French political lexicon. He spoke of work, merit, authority, respect, patriotism and national identity. He said he would fight against self-loathing, multiculturalism, political correctness and moral equivalence between the forces of good and evil. He warned Islamists inside and outside France that he would no longer grant them the benefit of the doubt in the name of past misdeeds supposedly committed by the West. He would not allow the hijab and burqa in French official buildings, including places of education. ...Sarko also served notice on the Islamic Republic, Syria and Libya that his France will not be a pushover as it had been under Chirac. Dismissing the so-called "realists" in international affairs as "men struck by illusions," he has promised to develop a value-based foreign policy, even if that means a clash with Vladimir Putin's Russia over such issues as the continued tragedy in Chechnya. Sarko has promised a smaller government and committed himself to a thorough reform of a welfare system that is pushing the nation to the edge of bankruptcy. With Sarkozy at the helm in France, the United States now enjoys the support of all three major E.U. powers- the others being Britain and Germany- for the first time in almost a decade. And that should enable the Bush administration to undertake major foreign-policy initiatives without fear of risking another split among the major democracies.
