#1 Actually, Sarkozy is probably right. More's the pity, given Israel's situation. Somehow, I doubt that the assured Jewish leaders were assured in the least.

He's of Hungarian descent. Calling Sarkozy a Gaul is like calling Obama a Pequot.

#6 /pedant

When Sarkozy was very young, he and his mother were abandoned by his Hungarian artistocrat father and moved into the home of his mother's father, a staunch Gaullist.

#8 And that was also true in the 1950s and early 60s, until De Gaulle knifed them in the back. The French are really bad at switching sides at the drop of a hat.
