Nicolas Sarkozy, A Second Look
There was a lot of genuflecting over the recent French elections, but did many in America simply base their conclusions on labels and not actual programs? One of the bloggers at Wizbang discovered the following:
French presidential front-runner Nicolas Sarkozy said that if elected he would contemplate pulling France’s troops out of Afghanistan.
Outlining his stance on key foreign policy issues yesterday, he also denounced the United States’ refusal to cap carbon emissions and proposed taxing imports from China because it too has refused to limit greenhouse gases.
Just because you hear someone outside the United States described as politically right or conservative do not expect them to be Conservative “American Style.”
