In France, Running Against Bush

American elections do not usually turn on the question of how the candidates for president propose to relate to foreign countries.

That is certainly not the case in France where the two contenders in today's presidential contest have taken distinctly different stances with regard to whether France should maintain or alter what are now relatively strained relations with the U.S.

Sarkozy is no Blair-like puppet. He says that "the messianic side of Americans can be tiresome."
