Against this backdrop, Villepin has managed to drive onto the streets not just youth who are locked out of the labor market, but also civil-servant trade unions, which habitually block reform on the pretext of resistance against what they sloppily label "ultraliberalism."

But those generations are the ones that keep suffering the lack of attention from current the Federal government. We are appalled by the Houses’ rejection of a bill...
...need friends,” McGovern said. “It is statistically impossible to be hated any more” in the Muslim world, he said. One of the most outspoken members of the House, McGovern was the first to put forward a bill proposing to block tax money from funding the war in Iraq. McGovern also spoke at length about his frustration with the duplicity of politicians in Washington. “My definition of patriotism is to say what you believe,” McGovern said. “To be silent is not patriotism, but moral...
