Sarkozy determined, tough on Afghan war - UPI.com
Sarkozy's visit to France sends the message that his radically innovative foreign policy is aligned with the United States broadly but not simply following along behind. Sarkozy is also showing he will not hesitate to take the initiative and act boldly.

You know, being boozed up is alright for commenting on some blog, but you really should avoid writing news reports.

Didn't know the UPI was owned by the moonies. You learn something new every day. Do we need a Rev. Moon alert?

Sarkozy's visit to France..

A radical step. His Napoleonic bellicosity is becoming embarrassing. Reminds me of Gen Patton, who was nicknamed "Blood and guts", or as his soldiers commented "His guts and our blood". Any fool can be brave with other people's lives, but soldiers aren't there just for your ego, they have a geo-political clout that only the truly stupid expend uselessly.

Reminds me of the famous shell-shocked soldier scene from the bio-pic.
