2007-11-04 16:51 How to Rein in Iran Without War
By Jim Hoagland (THE WASHINGTON POST, 04/11/07): Iran is working to produce a 20-to-50-pound stockpile of enriched uranium that it can use to build atomic weapons within eight to 10 weeks, once it decides to do so - and has consistently lied to the United Nations about those efforts. That headline conclusion is one of two basic points that I draw from a series of private meetings on Iran 's nuclear ambitions involving diplomats, leading academic experts, senior military officers and experienced …

2007-10-26 12:28 Nidra Poller: Law and Order in Sarkozy s France
Scorned by the media, the new president enjoys wide popular support Nicolas Sarkozy, one of the most popular presidents in the history of France s Fifth Republic, ran on a platform that gave high priority to enforcing law and order. No small task: starting with the administration of Socialist president François Mitterand, which abolished the death penalty, successive French governments have failed to confront a steady rise in violent crime, aggravated by dysfunctional judicial and penal systems. …

2007-10-25 20:20 All for one, one for all
By Simon Tisdall (THE GUARDIAN, 25/10/07): Students of the European Union have become accustomed to rating competing member states in a sort of political Champions League table. National standings vary as leaders come and go. The perennial question is: who's up, who's down It's a game the likes of Jacques Chirac loved to play. But in the lull after the storm over the EU's reform treaty, Europe's current Big Three - Britain's Gordon Brown, Germany's Angela Merkel and France's Nicolas Sarkozy - fi …

2007-10-24 17:17 Return of the Muslim other
By Soumaya Ghannoushi, director of research at IslamExpo (THE GUARDIAN, 24/10/07): In a few days time a cluster of far-right groups under the name the Stop the Islamisation of Europe alliance will hold rallies in London, Copenhagen and Marseilles to demand an end to what they call "the overt and covert expansion of Islam in Europe". Although the events are likely to attract no more than a handful of protesters, their message resonates widely. On Saturday the rightwing People's party, notorious f …

By Slavoj Zizek, international director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities (THE GUARDIAN, 23/10/07): Recent days have seen Dick Cheney and Tony Blair point belligerent fingers at Tehran, but both spoke in the slipstream of Bernard Kouchner, who a month ago warned the world that it should prepare for war over Iran's nuclear programme. "We have to prepare for the worst, and the worst is war," said the French minister of foreign affairs. The swell of rhetoric - which culminated in Preside …

By Simon Tisdall (THE GUARDIAN, 22/10/07): Saeed Jalili, who replaced Ali Larijani as Iran's top nuclear negotiator at the weekend, is a man of strong moral views who believes spiritual values must inform political actions. His absolute conviction of the rightness of Iran's cause, and his loyalty to his old friend Iran's hardline president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, may make him an awkward interlocutor when talks with the EU on the nuclear dossier resume in Rome tomorrow.

2007-10-21 17:23 Pseudoscientific Bigotry in France
Immigration issues bring out the worst instincts in politicians who should know better. Congress showed that earlier this year. Now it is the turn of France's Parliament. It is moving toward final approval of an ugly new law that would introduce DNA testing as a potential basis for excluding prospective immigrants hoping to reunify with family members already living in France. DNA testing can be a useful tool in establishing criminal guilt or innocence. But it has no rightful place in immigratio …

Commuters roller-skated, drove and biked to work, or simply stayed home, as the biggest strike in 12 years crippled France's public transport system Thursday and handed President Nicolas Sarkozy the biggest political test of his young presidency.

By Chriss Patten, the former European commissioner for external relations and chairman of the board of the International Crisis Group Crisisgroup.org (THE GUARDIAN, 17/10/07): For the third year in a row, Turkey's annual hurdles on the winding path of convergence with the EU - a progress report early next month and the European Council in December - are likely to be bruising. Doubters will seize on gridlock over Cyprus and a pause in legislative reform to allege that Turkey is not changing and s …

A battle of wills is being fought between the United States and Russia over whether to send a strong message to Iran about its nuclear program. France's new President Nicolas Sarkozy has chosen to involve himself in this battle but during his trip to Moscow he failed to win over President Putin.

2007-10-10 00:02 France's Legion d'Honneur to David Lynch -Digital Film Pioneer
Yup, France loves director David Lynch -but I still don't get the Jerry Lewis thing. American filmmaker David Lynch was awarded the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest civilian honor, in a ceremony in Paris last week. The director of art house favorites such as Eraserhead, Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, and co-creator of cult-hit TV series Twin Peaks, was presented with the award by French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, an admitted fan of the auteur's work.

I was caught the other day by one of Mark's posts at Doubting to Shuo that referenced a 20/20 report called "Stupid in America." I had linked to the same video on the blog I kept while I was living in Paris. At the time, I was readying The World is Flat for the first time, and I was floored by just how bad we were doing in …

2007-09-29 11:15 Liberals and Conservatives in the News
By Stanford Matthews Blog @ MoreWhat.com Positive news is always welcome. It has been in short supply lately. Some attribute the predominance of negative news to a liberal leaning MSM. But there are plenty of left leaning sources who claim the press is right wing while the right leaning sources claim it's left wing. Which means the audience must rely on their own judgment in checking news. A group of headlines viewed today are encouraging. An additional report on how Sarkozy is reinventing Frenc …

Unlike his predecessor, French President Nicolas Sarkozy seems to understand that a French statesman can be both nationalistic and responsible in the fight to secure freedom In his maiden speech to the U.N.

Osama has been taking clues from Kasstro, or so it seems, for his new lectures to the American people on Bush low approval rates, the Iraq war - for which he held the Democrats responsible- global warming, globalization of capitalism, mortgage crisis in the USA, and in typical castroite fashion called the American "leadership" the real terrorists.

"As surprising as it might seem, just as our country is emerging from a long period of self-doubt and underestimates itself as a 'middle power,' France continues to be perceived as ' …

2007-09-06 06:39 Change, Sarkozy Style
PARIS -- Watching Nicolas Sarkozy on stage at a conference of French business leaders here, you see a man with the raw, feral political instincts of a Huey Long or Lyndon Johnson. He is strutting, preening, cajoling, threatening -- rolling his eyes heavenward in one moment, and barking out commands in the next. This is not, in short, your usual French president. He is not a grand and distant figure who talks to the French people as if they were his children, as did his predecessors Jacques Chira …
