Where Are The British Gaullists?
Nicolas Sarkozy’s remarks on Iraq and on Turkey show that he is mercifully not as neocon as some had hoped and most had feared. Or, at least, that he has a Gaullist (i.e., an authentically conservative) base to please in his quest for re-election. Britain’s two (soon to be three) neocon parties also have bases that could be so described, but will make make the slightest efforts to please us, believing us to have nowhere else to go. Well, it is high time that we gave ourselves somewhere else to go. I’m doing my bit. What are you doing?
