The closest we have to that at the moment is Halliburton's America. As for France, there's a fair bit of "wait and see" about Sarko, but nobody in the arts thinks it is a good thing (but they didn't think Royal was any kind of alternative either - her policies were apparently no different).

It always dominoes. Will the tories now get back in the UK?<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, the US is steering back a little to the left with Mr Bush now at an approval rating of 28%. <BR/><BR/>And how will this little country fair later this year?
