 <description>we must be careful how we predict and analyze political situations now days. we must also hope she does not become a victim of insanity and end up like Marie Antoinette&#039;s, something in fact is not impossible. as the twisting hands that moves the straw soldiers is still hidden, even the independent Sarkosy could be use as a convenient piece on a chess game.who controls what is becoming more of a mystery than a sure fact. the main problem we face now is this middle eastern wild west that is engulfing the peninsula and will reach Europe sooner than expected. certainly a change is needed and most folks do want a change, a real change a radical change. however those that are outside of the traditional game have not spoken neither have they agreed on a communal candidate. but it seems that will be the next move, and the French presidential elections in 2007 will have a very strong united candidate from the far left and the altermundialist of Jose Bove.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;who the winner is will be a surprise, but in the end it is probably Segole Royal the one that has the most chances to gather a consensus that will bring her the desired crown.</description>
