Vive La France!

Not Your Typical Surrender Monkey-- Sarkozy Travels to Afghanistan To Support His French Troops After Attack from Gateway Pundit

Sarkozy certainly isn't perfect (but what politician is?) but this is what a leader does. Regardless of public opinion polls, or of what would help him win the next election, a leader supports his nation's troops that are in harm's way, when they are hurt of killed, he doesn't talk about withdrawing, he goes the very next day to the battleground to prohibit morale from dropping, to rally those who remain. It's been a long long while since I've admired anything French, but I'll make an exception for Monsieur Sarkozy. He's a cool dude.
