Jacques Chirac (1932-present) is a former president of France. He served two terms in office, choosing not to seek a third term due to his age, a massive unpopularity and several legislative failures.
Chirac is a lifelong Gaullist whose political instincts probably contributed greatly to his decision not to participate in the Iraq War, though he sent troops to help overthrow the Taliban in Afghanistan. He has been quoted as saying that the free market is not the solution to all problems.[1]
