Days before Saturday's Eurovision finals, the country almost plunged back into bad old days, as the Serbian parliament chose as its Speaker the ultranationalist Radical Party leader Tomislav Nikolic. Nikolic, a former vice-premier in the government of Slobodan Milosevic, caused an outrage when he vowed to cut Serbia's ties with the West and eventually merge the country with Russia - not an easy task, considering that the countries are not neighbors.

As a French person who has studied in one of America's premier universities and is now interning at one of its most respected news magazines, I am pained by the assumption that there's something not typically French about the virtues promoted by Sarkozy.
