POPSGeorge Bush and 'Sarko the American' To America's delight, Sarkozy has boosted troops in Afghanistan and is preparing France for a return to Nato's integrated command. This sparked Sarkozy's political opponents in France to rise up against what they warn is an "alignment" with Washington. Current topics of friction between Paris and Washington include Turkey's entry to the EU - Washington supports this but France continues to put spanners in the works - and climate change. Another awkward point is Sarkozy's warming of relations with Syria, which has already met a cautious reaction from the US secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice. The Élysée palace announced this week that France has invited the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, to attend the July 14 Bastille day celebrations after a Mediterranean summit in Paris next month.
