I doubt it. The French don't like GW. I even wonder how Sarkozy was able to win the election there.
Chirac did a lot of damage in his dealings with Saddam and then started a massive hate fest toward the French.
With all the comments and utter hatred that blew up, I think all the mocking is what drove the French over the edge.
Plus Chirac wasn’t doing diddly to help deal with France’s domestic problems.
