So you think that Sarko is doing this for "good" reasons?

Uh, no:

Maybe something good will come of this in spite of him.

stopped clock, etc...

he's really racking up the p.r. airmiles, ain't he?

one day, he's solving the israel-palestine question with a wave of the diplomatic wand, the next day showing germany who's real boss by the med thingy.

cui bono? the first that comes to mind is the builders of this trans-sahara highway (for all the solar-powered cars, lol!)

whatever the underlying agendas, sarko is (seens as) striding tall, a messiah of proactivity, a mighty engine of change.

i don't trust him at all, but i take joy out of imagining berlusca's envy. this is exactly the kind of euro colossus-of-peace laurel he wanted for his botoxed brow.

sarko hit the ground running with the new presidency, little hyperactive that he is. you can tell this was all pre-orchestrated for his new media friends to propagandise with.

somehow i very much doubt this will lead to much, except some fancy photo-ops, hotels and restaurants and mucho methane burps and farts for La Presse.

The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it. Chinese Proverb.
