thread_title:  Proposed WikiProject 

message: De Gaulle launched the immense shift in policy from one favouring Israel to one favouring the Arab states for a combination of reasons.  It was becoming obvious that the strengthening alliance between the United States and Israel would soon make France's role as an ally mostly irrelevant. The US could always provide Israel with more money and with higher levels of military technology. For France to play an important role in the region it seemed supporting the Arab side would give it more leverage in the future. Trade considerations also came into play.
Isn't that speculation as to De Gaulle's motives and intentions? Is there documentation for this?
Nasser and de Gaulle, who shared many similarities, – as in? Same politics (Nasser was a Socialist, de Gaulle was certainly not one)?
The United States, the United Kingdom and West Germany all sold far more to the Middle East each year than France,  and none of these states pursued as strong a pro-Arab policy as did the French.  Quite the opposite was true of the United States and Britain which firmly backed Israel and were opposed to many of the governments in the region, especially Nasser's Egypt.  The Arab states would almost always prefer the cheaper goods from an anti-Arab nation than more expensive ones from a pro-Arab state such as France.  France was not as successful economically as Britain, Germany, or the United States and no amount of positive relations with the Arab world could overcome the greater costs of French goods. Any evidence that French goods were substantially more expensive than British goods?
The last part of the article sounds like an editorial piece written from the point of view that the French government is stupid to have pursued a policy that did not gain it anything, except terrorism and US and Israeli hostility. This may be true; yet, Wikipedia is not the place to write essays as to what kind of foreign policy such and such country should have followed 30 years ago. We should give the facts, with correct perspective. David.Monniaux 13:29, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: The article is gotten too long, and I propose to spinoff the Historical sections to a new article. History of French foreign relations. Take a look at how it currently stands.  It would include the current sections on 1-4 on 1 Second Empire: 1851-1871 2 Third Republic: 1871-1940 3 Vichy regime: 1940-44 and 4 Fourth Republic. Any comments?
