It's no wonder that Iran's Revolutionary Guards decided on Hormuz to draw a line in the sand...
...limitation and heed Sarkozy's call to "work more to earn more" have largely been ignored as too complicated, and even some fellow conservatives question the wisdom of the $22 billion in tax cuts passed last July when - as Sarkozy himself acknowledged last month - "the coffers are empty". Little wonder, then, that as displeasure over Sarkozy's glitzy private life has grown, both approval and confidence indices have shrunk.
