Well, Nick, you see, it's like this . . . .

:eyes:

PARIS: Nicolas Sarkozy, in his victory speech as France's president-elect, said the United States can "count on our friendship," but urged it to take the lead against climate change.

Speaking Sunday night to hundreds of cheering supporters, the conservative vowed to be "the president of all of the French," and warned that the European Union must not be "the Trojan horse" for globalization's ills.

EDIT

"A great nation, like the United States, has a duty not to block the battle against global warming but — on the contrary — to take the lead in this battle, because the fate of the whole of humanity is at stake."

He said the issue would be a priority for France.
