He proposed the foreign ministry to an anti-US fanatic whose last book was “facing the hyper-power” (building Europe against the USA)
What’s important is that Sarkozy put France in the good side in the battle for civilization.
Maybe good news:
UMP party secretary sait that the Socialist Hubert Védrine would join the foreign minister “if he shares Sarkozy’s views in the foreign ministry.”
A friend close to Védrine said that the Socialist will refuse the proposition.
Sarkozy is maybe not that bad. It’s just a strategy. Maybe. Your french boycott can continue until real action between France and the USA.
I wasn’t defending the guy. I was just pointing out that it is hardly realistic to expect Sarko to appoint a cabinet based on what people in the U.S. think. And who said anything about boycotting France? You remind me of those college professors who can’t stand to be challenged, but can’t answer the question, so they try to change the subject. I agree that Sarkozy has moved the French to the right site of the battle. Quant à moi, chaque fou avec son sujet.
