Organe attitr\u00e9 des n\u00e9o-conservateurs, le Weekly Standard<\/em> a toujours pr\u00eat\u00e9 une grande attention \u00e0 la vie politique fran\u00e7aise. Les neocons<\/em> d\u00e9testent la politique fran\u00e7aise, ils d\u00e9testent Chirac et ils d\u00e9testent la France. Tout cela est temporaire. Ils savent fort bien, beaucoup plus que les Fran\u00e7ais eux-m\u00eames, l’importance fondamentale de la France. Les neocons<\/em> guettent donc d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9ment l’arriv\u00e9e d’un nouveau pr\u00e9sident selon leur cur.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tCe ne serait pas S\u00e9gol\u00e8ne, si elle \u00e9tait \u00e9lue. Un article<\/a> confi\u00e9 par l’hebdomadaire \u00e0 deux soi-disant connaisseurs de la vie politique europ\u00e9enne (Alf Ivar Blikberg et Ulf Gartzke), chapeaut\u00e9 du titre Fraternit\u00e9<\/em> (in French<\/em> dans le titre), envisage, pour lancer la r\u00e9flexion, le sc\u00e9nario de cauchemar d’une Royal \u00e9lue en mai 2007 suivie d’une Hillary \u00e9lue en novembre 2008. (\u00abTherefore, in the respective nightmare scenarios for American and French conservatives, France and the United States would both have female, left-of-center presidents in power by January 2009.<\/em>\u00bb) Mais le cas central de l’article est sans aucun doute la situation fran\u00e7aise.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tL’article oppose bien s\u00fbr S\u00e9gol\u00e8ne \u00e0 Sarko, il pr\u00e9cise que S\u00e9gol\u00e8ne est bien plac\u00e9e et il ne tresse pas de couronne excessive \u00e0 Sarko. Entre les lignes, il consid\u00e8re la situation politique fran\u00e7aise comme hautement risqu\u00e9e alors qu’il y a un an tout le monde tenait Sarkozy pour vainqueur et martelait qu’il serait impeccablement atlantiste. Aujourd’hui, on ne sait plus trop quoi penser, m\u00eame d’un Sarkozy. Ce passage montre l’incertitude des deux auteurs :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abFollowing Sarkozy’s pro-American rhetoric during a recent visit to the United States symbolically timed to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the 9\/11 attacks he was quickly lambasted by a leading Socialist politician who portrayed him as George Bush’s poodle and someone who could not be trusted to defend his country’s interests. For a French politician, few accusations could be more serious, even in times of warming transatlantic relations.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tBref, la France en p\u00e9riode pr\u00e9-\u00e9lectorale redevient un myst\u00e8re pour les Am\u00e9ricanistes, m\u00eame les plus s\u00fbrs d’entre eux. D’o\u00f9 ces conseils de mod\u00e9ration, voire de s\u00e9duction de l’\u00e9lectorat fran\u00e7ais bien inattendus dans l’hebdomadaire neocon<\/em>, avec l’in\u00e9vitable indication encourageante d’une am\u00e9lioration fondamentale, absolue et historique des relations USA-France gr\u00e2ce au re-bapt\u00eame des freedom fries<\/em>, ex-french fries<\/em>, redevenant french fries<\/em>. Tout cela \u00e9volue \u00e0 des hauteurs stratosph\u00e9riques.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abHence, if the Bush administration prefers a Sarkozy presidency to a Royal presidency, it would be well advised to continue to build better bilateral relations and to painstakingly avoid saying or doing things that could fan anti-American sentiments before the upcoming French presidential elections. In this context, it was an encouraging sign that the U.S. House of Representatives recently decided to change the name of freedom fries back to french fries on its cafeteria menus. Back in March 2003, in the midst of rising transatlantic tensions over the Iraq war, the anti-French culinary rebuke was hailed by Congressional leaders as a small, but symbolic effort to show the strong displeasure of many on Capitol Hill with the actions of our so-called ally, France.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
