Edtor's Note: We've been cautioning prophecy watchers to keep an eye on French President Sarkozy. His Jewish roots, ambitions to be a world ruler and his rising role in world affairs suggests he could be a prime candidate as the future Antichrist. We're not saying that he is, merely that he might be the 'messiah' of the New World Order.

President Nicolas Sarkozy of France left the summit meeting on the financial crisis here last weekend in a triumphal mood, declaring that it had tamed the animal spirits of American capitalism. Then he went home and announced that he would hold his own summit meeting in a few weeks in Paris — on the same topic.

That has raised hackles in diplomatic circles, not just because the meeting appears to compete with a planned gathering of 20 world leaders next April. Sarkozy's aggressive statements have put American officials on edge, with some saying that he seemed determined to turn the global crisis into a referendum on the ills of untrammeled capitalism.

"Sarkozy claimed he put a bell on the American cat," said Simon Johnson, a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund. "He said the U.S. had agreed to a whole range of negotiations on regulations. But he didn't actually come in and negotiate any of these things."

Making matters worse, Sarkozy said nothing about his plans to convene a meeting to President George W. Bush or the 18 other leaders while he was here. A senior European diplomat said he found the French proposal "amazing," while an American official said that that would be a charitable description.

French officials said the gathering on Jan. 8 and 9, which is to be co-hosted by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, is merely a conference, intended to bring together political leaders and prominent thinkers to discuss issues like globalization and the values of capitalism.
