"Last weekend the London Times reported that France’s President Sarkozy was going to announce the deployment of 1000 French troops to Afghanistan. Today Sarkozy confirmed the offer in a speech to the British Parliament.
It’s a welcome gift to the Anglophone powers leading the international mission in Afghanistan, and further evidence that Sarkozy is genuinely willing to break with the Chirac/Mitterand tradition of French self-assertion through anti-'Anglo-Saxon' sabotage."
Perhaps we can look forward to further strengthening of an American-led Western alliance.
The election of Sarkozy has been on the whole a good thing for France, and for the U.S., too.
