Sarkozy Chooses Dishonor
Winston Churchill’s denunciation of British and French tactics on the eve of World War II – they "had to choose between war and dishonor. They chose dishonor. They will have war.” – should be a warning to French President Nicolas Sarkozy. In fanning anti-immigrant passions for short-term political gain, he will have dishonor and then defeat.

PARIS – “Britain and France had to choose between war and dishonor. They chose dishonor. They will have war.” Winston Churchill’s famous denunciation of the delaying tactics of the British and French on the eve of World War II should be a warning to French President Nicolas Sarkozy. In fanning vicious anti-immigrant passions for short-term political gain, he will have dishonor first and then defeat. For, although a majority of French today may be inclined to sympathize with Sarkozy’s immigrant-bashing rhetoric, there is no guarantee that they will re-elect him in 2012.
