Click on the title for an article that appears in th International Herald Tribune, written by Elaine Sciolino of the New York Times.
Right now, I am sure that the NYT would love to be reporting that the French voters are overwhelmingly ready to ratify the EU Constitution. But to do so would make it even more of a laughing stock of a newspaper, than it already is. As more and more information becomes available, it becomes more and more apparent that France will reject this Constitution and throw the whole EU concept into question and doubt.
Not only does it jeopardize the EU, but this will seriously damage the reputation of the French President (even among some of his most ardent supporters). If he cannot deliver this, his presidency will be severely weakened and may not recover anytime soon (if at all). Maybe then, the good people of France will gain some sense and courage by demanding he resign for the good of the republique and subsequently, the world.
