It would take someone of other than pure French heritage to turn Frances nose dive around and actually make France a country of productivity and tune down Socialism which was getting really out of hand. It's time for the French Coq to stop strutting and pay attention to what is going on in the farm yard. Sarkozy has a nationalist pride that Chirac just lacked. Chirac did his deGaul strutt immitation and tried to deflect National attention from how things were falling apart at home, how things were completely out of control, of how the Paris 'burbs' might have well been Algerian slums...in Algeria where even French police didn't tread. Fingers crossed for a new France. We can look forwrd to Sarkozy being a regular visitor to the US. A couple of years ago a French museum curator, when invited to visit the US said, 'I don't think it would be a good time for me to ask for a ticket to the US. I have my pention to think about.' I think those days are over.
