#4  While Sarkozy definitely showed a firm hand in all of this, it should not be forgotten just how badly these union thugs antagonized the general public. Putting a symbol of national prestige at risk while inconveniencing untold thousands of communters and interfering with the economy in general doesn't win you many friends. Especially when one of your key demands is the right to retire on full pension at age 50.

#1  Good for him. I didn't think he could pull it off. Maybe there's hope for the land of the Franks (i.e., the Free) after all.
