Le président Nicholas Sarkozy
It's tempting - dare I say encouraging? - to extrapolate from the victories of Merkel in Germany and Sarkozy in France. Perhaps they imply that it is justifiable to trust democracy. Perhaps those Founding Fathers were right. Because whatever one may think of Bush at the moment, he was the right and better choice in his elections. And today Sarkozy won. He may not be ideal but he seems clearly the better choice. And more voted in France than ever before so this was the deliberate choice of the French people. Prhaps we can have faith of our own. Perhaps, as ludicrous as the 2008 season seems to be at present, all will work out in the end.
