Maybe such an event would create more public disapproval than burning of tens of villages, mass rape and killing of hundreds of civilians, but I doubt it very much.

This is how the EU, the UN and others react to the ongoing massacres:

Ivory coast report complicates EU support for Ouattara

Quotes:
"Forces loyal to Ivory Coast president-elect Alassane Ouattara have killed hundreds of civilians, carried out mass rapes and burned at least 10 villages, according to a report by Human Rights Watch."

"The continued use of heavy weapons against the civilian population and our peacekeepers, as well as the attack against the headquarters of the legitimate government, have compelled me, once again, to instruct [UN force] UNOCI to use all necessary means," Ban Ki-moon said in a statement."

"A spokesperson for EU high representative Catherine Ashton was not immediately available on Monday morning. A senior official last week said the EU would wait until a UN investigation had been completed before deciding on a course of action regarding the reported atrocities."

However, I was replying to this:

“We are talking about Sarkozy’s political survival.”

I don’t think the French are going to be very proud of having a Pres. who allowed a man to be publicly hacked to death. (should that occur)
So, it would be curtains for Sarkozy.
