I have a feeling Sarkosy (sp) will hang tough but the biggest problem for him will be France’s history of surrendering. It is so ingrained that no one understands how to do otherwise.
I think he has the right stuff, but we shall see. I just read a novel by Daniel Silva called “The Secret Servant”. It has a backdrop of Europe’s moose limb problem, most specifically the Netherlands that is very depressing and unfortunately very real. I highly reccomend it.
