Those cheering the election of Sarkozy might need a small reality check:
Sarko then turned to “our American friends” – merely calling them that is a remarkable statement in today’s France. He said that America can count on France’s friendship and that the French will always be at America’s side when it is needed, but that – crucially — friends can sometimes differ. He focused on climate change, where he highlighted his difference with America. “France will make the struggle against climate change its main fight”, he said.
That’ll include deploying the troops, then, I imagine. But where?
