For the record as much as I despise Chirac for being weak against a foreign aggressor and threat, I cannot agree that he is dividing Europe and USA. The division is a result of actions on both sides subsequently, Chirac disagrees with USA policy for sure but divisive? That is media talking again not common sense. Chirac is a peacenick we have those in the USA also. Nothing new there, or nothing a new election will not fix, many many many many people in France want him gone the Jean-Marie Le Pen fiasco was evidence of that.......
