Sarkozy was a maverick inside the party and he spent years of purgatory after supporting a dissident from the party in the 1995 presidential election while he had previously been one of Chirac's favorite henchmen. There's a strong debate going on this point but it looks like Sarkozy wasn't in favor of France supporting the US intervention on Iraq. However, he qualified the way Chirac addressed the situation as arrogant, as it cut the country many bridges with the US without having any impact on the actual plans.

Wait till they read how he thinks we don't take global warming serious enough, and how he is against our occupation of Iraq. This honeymoon will be shortlived.

I'm think of Chiraq's cozy relationship with Yassir Arafat and Saddam Insane to name a few.

Perhaps the necessary pressure upon Syria & Iran will be forth coming, helping USA stabilize Iraq, begin the process of a real middle east peace, Iran's nuclear threat. Watch how quickly democrats will begin a new tactic of criticizing France. It will be nice to see Europe as a good faith partner. I wonder if Paris is off Hollywoods vacation destination?

In 1980. You know what makes it especially sweet is how that insufferable Dominic DeVillepan is nowhere to be seen. That guy could out-Kerry John Kerry. We did have an election like that.
