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".

Reminds me of the famous shell-shocked soldier scene from the bio-pic. A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith
