Cornelius, I am sorry to say that Professor Paul Eideberg is not right on
all counts in his arguments. I believe one has to follow closely the Sarkozy
"project" for France from his position as minister of Interior prior to his
becoming the President of the UMP to understand what he reserves for France.
What has Prof Eidelberg to say about the following pronouncements
paraphrased here:

On immigration:

"France cannot accept mixed couples (a French national and non-french
national) bringing to france their espouses if these cannot speak French.
They must first learn french in their countries until they master it before
coming to France."

"Blacks and Arabs are the main causes of all the disruptions in the
surburbs."

"The form of immigration to be encouraged now should be 'chosen'
immigration" (this means only the intellectuals and the productive from the
third word particularlt Africa must be given visas to come to France"

This is the tip of the iceberg on Sarkozy's foreign policy. I believe Prof
Eidelberg is very subjective in his information on Sarkozy.

Fatoumata
