Same old, same old French

I was really not amoured of Sarkozy coming to power in France and didn’t bother to comment because I couldn’t see anything to get excited about. Being labelled "rightwing" in France is still being on the leftside of Lenin. It looked like the same old same old to me. Ynet News:

French President Nicolas Sarkozy pressed the case for Palestinian statehood, saying the lack of a state is ''an injustice that France will not accept.'' In a speech to Algerian students Wednesday, the French leader also said that the sharing of civilian nuclear technology should form the foundation of a ''pact of trust that the West must reach with the Muslim world.''

France generates most of its electricity with nuclear power and wants to export the technology and its expertise. It signed a nuclear cooperation accord with Algeria on Tuesday, the second day of Sarkozy's visit, that would allow for transfer of technology and the eventual construction of a nuclear reactor for civilian use in this North African nation.

In his address to students at a university in Constantine, Sarkozy suggested that establishing a Palestinian state would help the fight against terrorism. ''It is from a feeling of injustice that the terrorists derive their greatest strengths,'' he said. ''Depriving the Palestinians of a nation state is an injustice that France will not accept.''

The only ones depriving the Palestinians of a state is, well, the Palestinians and as for conferring statehood on the Palestinians in an effort to fight terrorism…just how well do you think that is working out in the Gaza Strip? Now, can we all go back to referring to the French cheese-eating surrender monkeys?
