Algeria: Colonised by France from 1830 till 1962. Millions of Algerians killed, billions of resourses looted, 100's of thousands tortured and misplaced.
Many Algerians are still dying by France 47 years on after independence by mines France left and by Atom bomb tests that left radiations.
Not a single French president has made an official apology to Algeria including Mr Sarkozy.
Not a single French soldier has faced justice for the atrocities they commited during the occupation.
They call themselves a democracy.
If he's got no heart problems and keeps fit, I find it hard to beleive he'd just 'collapse' on account of stress and 'workload'. My father smoked 20 a day for 25 years, quit at the age of 45, and is now fitter than I am - thanks to regular games of squash - at the age of 53! He runs a high-flying university department, and travels around the world giving talks while attempting to manage his staff and (numerous) doctoral students. Unlike Sarkozy, however, he seems perfectly capable of dealing with the pressure of a severe workload, and works every day of the week whether he's here, there or anywhere.
I'd put my money on this being an exuse for an extra holiday, or better still: a self-engineered attempt to justify the end of his (very public) exercising - so that the lazy bugger no longer needs to keep up appearances for his 'public'. Putin, as far as I'm concerned, is the only world leader who remains a maniac when it comes to keeping fit - holding, as I think he does, a black belt in karate.
