Nicolas Sarkozy is having an informal lunch with President Bush in Maine (Kennebunkport ) in the Bush family residence. The Boston Globe has an interesting article on the “Lunch” in which Sarkozy says the following:
France is friends with democracies, not with dictatorships. […] Do we agree on everything? No. […] Because even in family, there are disagreements. But we are still the same family.
Ah! I think that it isn’t necessary to comment on that quote. Nevertheless, as I have always said, although I liked Sarkozy’s Americanism, I don’t think he knows much about America, but rather likes it because too him, it is synonymous with power and money. There is nothing wrong with that, but to me, America is about more than that, much more than that otherwise, it wouldn’t America, but just another materialistic country, which never wonders about existential purpose and never questions its actions. Well, because I believe in small victories, I hope that they had some French wine and that it means that it is a beginning of a new and less confrontational relationship between the US and France. Well, I am allowed to dream or am I?
