"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05

Dominique de Villepin and Chirac know what is best for their people. The young should just sit back and relax, they're on top of it.

"The students' anger focuses on a new form of job contract championed by Villepin that will allow employers to fire young workers within their first two years in a job without giving a reason.
The government says the flexibility will encourage companies to hire thousands of young people, bringing down unemployment rates that run at 23 percent among young adults and around double that in some of the depressed suburbs that were shaken by weeks of riots last year."

Hand too much to people in a socialistic effort and they will resent it when you try to take it away from them. So at one point the government/unions increase the "nanny" state; then "nanny" in the other direction. What's up?
