1. This is neither Sarko's victory, nor the workers' defeat

They all were OK with the best deal the State could give them.
If there's $9 in the piggy bank and 10 people to divide it
up, you simply can't give everybody a dollar any more. Giving
in to common sense does not mean you have lost.

France will be better off the sooner they face that (I wish the USA would
realize it, too--my children do not deserve to be stuck with Bush's Iraq
bill, but they are).

The support for the strike was about 30% among the populace. Maybe that
got compared to a similar statistic in the USA, and somebody got the message.
