Re: How long before they sour on him? (4.00 / 3)

Sarko has already shown to be a dirigiste, in a true blue Gaullist fashion.
As for the FT/WSJ crowd who expect him to be more pliable than his predecessor: fat chance.

Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.

Since the signs are that he will blow the Franco-German axis, he can only make France weaker.

Blowing the Franco-German axis (4.00 / 3)

So what is left of the EU? Look at the largest six countries:

Germany: Merkel
France: Sarkozy
UK: Brown
Italy: Prodi
Spain: Zapatero
Poland: Kaczynski

The Italo-Spanish axis is hardly an engine for Europe.

Bush is a symptom, not the disease.
