harvards arthur goldhammer nails the sarkozy personality in a recent post. ... i still think sarkozy is going to end up lashing out at america. three things will probably prompt a shift 1. hell wake up on the wrong side of the bed one day. 2. hell be indignantly insulted by a minor slight. 3. antiamericanism is always good politics in france especially for a pol whose approval ratings are way down...
