With the ouster of Nicolas Sarkozy, most of the focus on the French election has been on what President-elect Francois Hollande’s victory will mean for financial policy in the Eurozone. Yet Hollande’s foreign policy is also a topic of discussion.
In particular, a lot of speculation surrounds Hollande’s foreign policy today because he has made so few comments with respect to it. Those familiar with him say he will likely remain hawkish on Syria and Iran, but that he will likely speed the Afghan pullout, getting French troops out of occupation duty by the end of the year.
Hollande’s only real comment on foreign policy during the election season was to say that if the UN authorized it, France would participate in the invasion and occupation of Syria, and to call Iran’s civilian nuclear program a “danger for world peace.”
French-born Israelis were quick to condemn Hollande based on comments that he was grateful for Muslim support in the election (inevitable since Sarkozy courted the far-right vote with repeated condemnations of Muslims in general), saying that he is a threat to France’s Jewish community. The European Jewish Congress has already vetted Hollande and termed him a “sympathetic ear” for the Jewish community, however.
He can't be as crazy as Sarkoshlitz, can he? But then again, the world's left surely has never been reluctant to provide more than a sympathetic ear to the Jewish community.
If he crazy like sarkofool , he get 1 term in office. french people dont play game.
He has already been summoned to the White House to explain himself to the Emperor:

I'm sure Washington is not happy about his threat to bring French troops home from Aghanistan.
If one think he will be a game changer in the Eurozone, should think once more.He will do all or atleast most of what Sarkozy was doing,but with his own style.New wine in an old bottle.The reason is very simple he is a conductor not a driver holding the stear.Anyway goodluck France Republic with ur new President-elect.
The only social politic system that is not about all war is Socialism, look at the history and compare it to what is US and England monarchisem and capitalism system have done for last 60 years. Capitalism dosent work, it never havd and it never will, is about capitalism and capitalist, here you dont see any wording of peace prosperity or democracy, although Hillary Clinton is caliming that the system is about people prosperity in one hand but in the other they need to kill few million and occupy a country then start internal war divide people for what she says is the way for democracy. Obama is not nor Hillary Clinton is socialist, they are not even close to the concept or the wording democracy itself, and for Mitt Romeny, forget about democracy, he is nothing but one who would continue with vulture capitalism and its system, Obama is not even keeping his word what his been saying for last almost 4 years, European monarchisem government are nothing but a puppet to NATO militarism regimes.
I think this analysis is broadly right. Bear in mind, of course, that it is very unlikely that there will ever be any military action in regard to either Iran or Syria. Talk is cheap, as they say! French-born Israelis are, of course, the most extreme element of the French Jews, if they can still be called "French", having chosen to leave France for good. In France itself, Ashkenazi Jews, whose families have often lived in France for centuries, generally vote left of the centre and will, no doubt, have mostly voted for Hollande. The North African Jews, who came to France, in particular, at the time of Algerian independence in 1962, are frequently virulent Muslim-haters and often vote for the Front National. Often ill at ease in a Europe they do not understand, they are much more inclined to go to Israel than the Ashkenazis, who are well integrated, and frequently intermarried, into the wider French society. I would guess that the "French-born Israelis" are children of North African immigrants.

Three things, first I’m guessing you never heard of the National Socialism of NAZI Germany and its commitment to total war. Your (socialist) love affair with free money printed out of thin air is stupendously ignorant.
Second, the USA is not a democracy it is a republic. The two aren’t the same.
Thirdly, neither the US nor any other western country is capitalistic in any meaningful sense. In capitalism companies that make bad decisions go bankrupt they don’t get free taxpayer money. The US is a merchantilist system thanks to our lord and savior Abe Lincoln (that’s sarcasm btw, Lincoln was a tyrannical dictator). In the extreme you can say that the US is a fascist nation since we are fund all of these bailouts with forced taxation.
Peace
