#1 The French like big elegant things. Developing a national BMD system suits them for this reason just as committing to nuclear power and building Minitel did 30 years ago. I can see this happening.

#2 A French BMD will also work to defend the UK and the US. It would be nice if they used a few of the same countries (or actual radar stations) the US did to help blunk Russian whining to the EU audience.

#3 I can see Sarkozy starting this project. I can also see his successor cancelling it to great acclaim...'we don't need defense, we should be vulnerable'

#4 It's about time the French rediscovered some of their testicular fortitude.

I like this Sarkozy guy more every day.

#5 I like this Sarkozy guy more every day.

As do I but it's still just so odd to see a French politican 'get it'.
