#4 Sarkozy is a "young Chirac" with an enormous personnal ambition, all show and talk, not much substance, and is marketing himself as the only "alternative" (for example, courtizes both the National Front voters AND the muslims, being quite muslim-friendly and having done some legislative work that outdid the socialists); he is pro-immigration, despite what you've read, and has a communautarist, multiculturalist vision of society. The only thing I can love in him is that he's more free market and atlantist than most "conservative" pols.
Otherwise, IMHO, he's a dangerous man to France, and, of course, could well be its next president.

#5 Nothing unusual, every country can do so if necessary... a major soccer match can be a reason sometimes.
