Thursday, August 21. 2008"Proud to be Ineffectual"Posted by Editors in European Issues on Thursday, August 21. 2008 Nicolas Sarkozy is so proud of what the EU at the behest and through FRANCE has achieved in Georgia: At the behest of the French presidency, Europe put itself on the front lines from the outset of hostilities to resolve this conflict -- the third on European soil since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Throughout the first phase of this latest crisis, Europe's commitment was decisive: It was the European Union, through France, that created a space for diplomacy ¡No Pasarán! comments on Super-Sarko: "Proud to be Ineffectual."

Sarkozy's European initiative hasn't been completely ineffectual, since the Russian advance on Tbilisi seems to have stopped (for now). US diplomacy gets some credit as well. Comments ()

It is thus on the site "no pasaran" that you judge the foreign policy of France and Europe! I remind you that it is about a site which practises the french bashing and that its analyses have the quality of articles of "Gala". Comments ()

" Objectivize truths "? If it is about a joke, I indeed want to laugh with you but to speak about the objective truths stemming from a website the prejudice of which is notorious, seems to me completely inappropriate. Comments ()

You might feign an agreeable, nodding understanding of one another, but you probaly didn't read my post which went on to discuss what part of their action Sarkozy and Kouchner got right. Comments ()

I did not effectively read your post because I still have no time to dedicate me to this blog. But what I wanted to stigmatize, it is the discriminatory insult toward French which often returns associating " French " and " surrender ". All their History shows that this association is an unbearable lie. For the rest, we are in démocraty and I recognize you completely the right to think of what you want of the policy of the President Sarkozy and Mr Kouchner. Comments ()

Come to say this kind of stupidity to the families of 10 French soldiers died in the fight in Afghanistan. But you are certainly too cowardly. Comments ()

What's the use to give you their addresses, you would have no courage to come in France to meet them. Comments ()

As long as we're plumbing the distant past, their role in supporting the Confederacy, and using the chaos as an opportunity to invade Mexico and installing a monarch there should also not go forgotten. Comments ()

It seems that you want to explain to me that States act according to their interests. It is an evidence. France intervened in favour of the future United States to weaken England but not only. It is evident that numerous French people saw in the American revolution an inspiration to reform their country. 1789 was close. Comments ()

Alas, Spain and Britain withdrew immediately after Juarez was forced to back down on his plan to repudiate the debt held by those countries, plus France. France though, surprising its allies marched on Mexico City and the Republic of Mexico collapsed and Juarez and his supporters fled to the north and across the US border. There is a small park in El Paso dedicated to the Republicans with a statue of Benito Juarez. Comments ()

As regards the French soldiers, they die for their Homeland. I hope that it's the same for the American soldiers whatever is the place where they die. Comments ()

It is not French presidency, but EU presidency that authorizes Sarkozy's initiative. Javier Solana will never speak of "Spanish leadership" in European foreign policy. Comments ()

Yes, it was bad form for Sarko to act so French when representing Europe. Would Chirac have done the same, I wonder? Comments ()
