In addition to concerns that those reinforcements won't tip the balance back to NATO's side - while sending Afghan forces a sign they can count on outside help indefinitely - some legislators bristle at Sarkozy's apparent responsiveness to American decrees. "This decision clearly looks to be an Atlanticist alignment on American positions, even though Washington's foreign policy is a total failure," fumed Jacques Myard, a conservative member of parliament's foreign...
