	Dominique de Villepin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Galouzeau de Villepin family is among these, since the Galouzeau, a family of commoners originally from the Yonne département, added "de Villepin" to their name in the early 18th century by the marriage of a Galouzeau ancestor with a woman from a seemingly aristocratic de Villepin family of Lorraine.
		Accordingly, Villepin's great-grandfather was a colonel in the French army, his grandfather was a board member for several companies and his father, Xavier de Villepin, now retired, was himself a diplomat and a member of the French Senate.
		Villepin then became director of Chirac's successful 1995 presidential campaign and was rewarded with the key job of Secretary-General of the Élysée Palace during his first term as President of the Republic (1995-2002).

		As he struts the corridors of French power, de Villepin is, they say, as likely to be turning over in his premier cru mind some nugget of literature or philosophy as he is to be concentrating on the ephemeral crisis of the hour.
		De Villepin is often described as an "aristocrat" but this son of a colonial businessman and politician is not some scion of Bourbon bloodlines or château-owning privilege.
		De Villepin has become prime minister just as the electorate has indicated its firm displeasure with the political elite, yet there is possibly no greater exponent of elitist government than this vainglorious strutter.

	America's Debate -> Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin
		Villepin, 51, moves from the Interior Ministry to replace Jean-Pierre Raffarin, dumped after voters Sunday roundly rejected Chirac's call to ratify a European Union constitution, humiliating the 72-year-old president — a leading proponent of the charter.
		Unemployment is running at 10 percent and the French political establishment is reeling from the referendum vote that was as much a repudiation of Chirac's economic and social policies as it was a refusal of the EU treaty.
		De Villepin happens to be both reliable to Chirac (he's literally the son Chirac never had!) and has an obvious aura of power thanks to his work at the UN in 2003 against the war in Iraq.

		De Villepin cites as his ideal hero-poet Arthur Rimbaud - the patron saint of misunderstood adolescents in bed-sits around the world.
		And speaks highly of Gerard de Nerval, the proto-Surrealist and founder member of the Club des Hachichins, who hanged himself from a window-grating in drug-addled despair at the condition of the world.
		Villepin also admires the certified madman Antonin Artaud, whose late work, characterised by delusions, hallucinations, glossolalia and violent anti-American tantrums, has been described as "a heretic's scatalogical tirade at the extreme of the linguistic lunatic fringe".

	Whos is Dominique Galouzeau de Villepin ?
		Villepin's political essay is driven by a deep fear that France will be unable to adapt to the post-cold war world or compete in the global market¬place, where the advantages and subsidies granted by the state to French companies would be subjected to international scrutiny and possibly banned.
		Villepin's answer for France's ills is to revive the "French model" of government from the top down, as opposed to the American model of gov¬ernment from the bottom up.
		Villepin's solution is an authoritarian state-the "republican monarchy" established by de Gaulle, ruled by a charismatic leader who, like Napoleon, will "vanquish or die" in pursuit of glory.

		That means tall, aristocratic de Villepin -- a man schooled in the country's most elite establishments, who has never faced a rough-and-tumble election -- is tasked to address the angers of millions of ordinary French, who issued a protest vote against the government Sunday by rejecting the European constitution.
		De Villepin has "the authority, the competence and the necessary experience" to give the government "a new impulse" Chirac said in a televised address Tuesday night, as he explained his choice of a new prime minister.
		The job de Villepin reportedly coveted -- that of interior minister -- was handed to his chief rival Nicolas Sarkozy.

	¡No Pasarán!: French Diplomacy, as Embodied by Dominique de Villepin
		Villepin has carefully avoided challenging the general view of his reviewers that the shark is a metaphor for the United States while the seagull represents France.
		Villepin's work can be seen as an extended manifesto for his claim on the presidency, a post for which a certain intellectual and literary distinction has long been desirable.
		The Socialists' defeat in 2002 paved the way for Villepin to become foreign minister, an appointment initially welcomed in Washington, where Villepin had graced the French embassy during the Reagan years and was thus somehow assumed to be unusually sympathetic to American ways.

		PARIS - Iraq is currently in a state of "decomposition" that will not be reversed until the Iraqi people recover their sovereignty, French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin said in a radio interview Friday.
		De Villepin also told the private RTL radio station that a new UN resolution in which Washington was asking for other countries to bolster its occupying forces would simply "see the cycle of violence worsen".
		To put an end to all that, de Villepin said, the authority of Iraq's US-appointed interim Governing Council should be strengthened, then elections should be set up "perhaps by the end of the year" to put in place a provisional government.

	The America that will vote for Bush, by Tom Frank
		This species of leftist will boast about the historical deeds of red-diaper babies or the excellent radical pedigree of so-and-so, son of such-and-such, utterly deaf to the repugnant similarities between what they are celebrating and simple aristocracy.
		Here he was, a well-dressed and accomplished man, soundly refuting the arguments of the Americans, speaking several different languages, even receiving open applause from the UN representatives of much of the world as he berated the US Secretary of State, who stoically endured the abuse of his social superior, for this obvious error or that.
		What the brilliant De Villepin missed utterly was that American conservatives don’t care when their arguments are refuted.
