#1 Viva la France! Meet force with greater force. Having a Pole for president seems to have given them a backbone? A little one anyway. More than what they had.

#3 Errr... sarko's father was hungarian, not a pole, and he's been born & raised in spoiled french, parisian upper class, by his (french) mother I seem to recall.

It's not backbone, it's sticking up to one's engagement & alliance, something the let's-retreat-from-afghanistan-it's-an-unjust-and-illegal-US-war deliberately forget, because they think being allied to the USA, even through Nato, is BAD - some sovereignty, neo-gaullist guy had a very successfully spread viral email that basically asked "what is treason?", when France talked about fully re-entering Nato a while back.

I'm really no fan of sarkozy, not at all, but on this front at least, he's not idiotarian.
