France to Re-join NATO

Here's some good news--France has decided to rejoin NATO as a full member (they pulled out in a fit of Gaullist pique in the 60's, remaining in the political structure, absenting themselves from the military). Sarkozy is proving to be an able statesman, recognizing that being "outside" the fence actually gave the French LESS influence than being on the inside. Of course, some will spin this as yet again more evidence of the world warming up to the Obamanation, but Sarkozy has been working this issue for his entire term.
