POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
I love the photograph of Sarkozy preaching to Karzai about corruption.
The absurdities of the engagement in Afghanistan could not be better highlighted than by this.
I'm sure readers know about Sarkozy's weird private life and terrible temper (rivaling Harper's), but I don't know how many readers are aware of that the smarmy, unethical Sarkozy is about as corrupt as they come.
He has managed to suppress the scandal surrounding the revelation of his taking huge wads of secret money (illegal in France ) from the country's richest woman, billionaire L’Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt
Here is indeed is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Afghanistan is about power and the abuse of power.
None of the Western leaders involved - Bush, Sarkozy, Blair - has anything but contemptible morals.
