That Nicolas Sarkozy is France's most pro-American president in generations - in fact, come to think of it, ever - there is no reason to argue over.
It is the one point on which both he and his enemies would agree.
A man who declared his intention on going to Washington of "reconquering the heart of America" - and who in his speech to Congress cited Elvis Presley, Charlton Heston and Neil Armstrong as his heroes - is clearly not lukewarm about "les Etats-Unis".

The same can be said of the BBC.
J’aime la belle France! Most Americans do.
Thank you. Same here.
Their foremost ambition, as a nation, is world domination.
Sooner or later, although often too late, they discover they no longer have Swedish soldiers protecting them from the Germans.
However, despite the immoral ways of NB, I’m prepared to support Sarkozy.
In my world, Europe and America belong together.
- I Love America, the greatest nation on Earth!

At this point in time, we, in America are better able to fight the socialist than Europe, but; we are failing too. The overall principles of individual rights bestowed upon man by something greater than man is under constant assault - this is basically who Americans are.
By the way, great plane, hope they never have to to come up against a F22.

- Well put.
Yes, Europe of today is weaker than ever.
Europe IS a political midget.
Europe IS a military maggot.
The economy of Europe is crippled.
However, Sarkozy marks the beginning of a new era.
But above all, Sarkozy is able to unite both parts of the Western World.
Hail to a new concord!
The man in that photo is almost surely a veteran of WW1. Imagine having served in the defense of your motherland in your early-20’s only to see foreign troops marching in your capital city in your early-40’s? Certainly he thought his world was coming to an end.
Sarkozy got elected on a conservative ideology while Iraq was burning down and blowing up. And so did Angela Merkel in Germany around the same time. They did not bow down to the media in both places. Sarkozy walked off the set of ‘60 Minutes’ after the gal asked him about his divorce. He had better things to do. A head of state that acts like one.
Sarkozy is the best thing that ever happened to France’s future.
The french outside of Paris are just like Americans outside NYC or LA.
France will learn, once again, there are real benefits to being a special friend to America.
- Thank you for your friendly words fellow freeper, but I hope you are aware that allowing Scandinavians on one’s soil means

It is so nice to here this from a foreign leader. All we ever hear from the American left is how the onus is on us to make everyone our friend. No one, it seems, is ever obligated to be kind to us, or to help us in any way. Maybe Sarkozy "gets it."
I’m done with the France bashing. This guy Sarkozy is for real.
As a European and as an uncompromising friend of the US, I would like to say that things happening here marks a new era in cross-Atlantic relations.
Greetings from Europe to
The Land of the Free
and the Home of the Brave!
If the nation were the US and him a liberal, he would not be crying. He would be happily applying for a job with the "Vichy" regime.
You forgot to list Ace of Base. ;-)
