...for knowing nothing about international politic, diplomacy, etc. He's just known as a goofy guy over here. So please don't take his statements as a global French opinion! Each time he goes somewhere, French officials fear that he says something... "inappropriate" that will need official apologies later...

This is Vichi government ruling France again

I wonder how exactly Iran plays a stabilizing role. It must be their enlightened way of thinking, their great reputation for religious tolerance, their love of democracy, and the way they are cooperating with the world on the nuclear issue. And let's not forget that stabilizing countries often declare that other countries, such as Israel, should be annihilated. What planet is the French foreign minister living on, exactly??

as a french citizen , I am ashamed by this statement it is worst than the traditional proarab standing of the french diplomacy it is also ununderstandable : most of the french members of parliament and senate are members of france israel group of friendship; so what ? that smells oil and armamants oh no that stinks sorry dear friends french are so afraid to fight for so long

Good for us, election are for next year. I will push out Chirac and all his stupids friends. Welcome to Sarkozy who declare himself as a friend of Israel ! Very courageous to say such a thing in country like France !

The Iranian President rejects Hollokost. In accordance with German law that is a crime. How a country headed by a criminal can play stabilizing role???

My dear Israelis and Americans ... Why you always critize all those who wants to take out a solution of this problem . Iran and Syria are indeed providing weapons to Hizbullah and when Lebanese Govt ( puppet of iran and syria as many thinks here) ..was asking for ceasefire why the war wasnt stopped by Americans. When this whole world is commenting against Muslims , you all praise them and when that same whole world say some thing against you .. u started to over react . Spain , Germany , EU and now France .. how much u peoples want to hide the truth and dont want to accept this reality that ceasefire is important . When Iran nuclear problem is there u want world big powers to come and stop Iran in which France , germany and Eu also comes and when they are saying u the same , why dont u people listen to others . Why this double standards , Israel wants the UN to implement resolution 1559 but on the other hand only Israel is the country who rejected some 60 international laws passed by UN. I personally respect the state of Israel and want to see all israelis be in peace but not by force or terrorising its neighbours .Israel should release those 10,000 who are in israeli jails and gain its respect back.

Iran plays a destabilizing role in Middle East. The case is proven and clear. The NATO has to bomb Iran, to stabilize situation in the region. Bombing Lebanon and fighting Hizbullah is a kind of damping symptoms of an illness. The cancer is Iran and Syria. And these tumors have to be cut out.

IT STARTED BEFORE DREYFUSS, IT CONTINUED DURING THE GERMAN OCCUPATION WHEN THE FRENCH POLICE AND THE VICHY GOVERNEMT HELPED THE NAZIS KILL JEWS , IT CONTINUES WITH THE SELLING OF THE ATOMIC REACTOR TO IRAK. MR. DOUSTE ....PLEASE.. PLEASE... TAKE OUR YOUR TONGUE .!!!... IT IS TURNING BROWN AND ALSO BLACK WITH OIL. WE SURVIVED THE NAZIS... WE WILL ALSO SURVIVE YOU. HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT IRAN IS A STABILIZING FORCE WHEN THEIR PRESIDENT IS SAYING THAT HE IS PREPARING THE "TRUE HOLOCAUST"... AND WIPE ISRAEL FROM THE MAP... YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED .... YOU ARE A DISGUSTINH PERSON... HOW MUCH ARE THE IRANIANS PAYING YOU !!!!!!!!!!

Why do muslims bomb in India? Because they are loving people and want peace? answer this question and you will have your answer why we fight radical muslim here!

Isn't it great Olmert agreed for France to protect israel. Now we can all feel so much better. By the way is Olmert French?

It seems you prefer to live in the safer world that Bush and Bolton managed for US interests? You have so much testoterone because you are the only ones to have nuke power (thanks to France, but it was not a good idea because in fact your country since broke the morality pact and became a terrorist country). The France is trying to prevent the birth pangs of a new mideast, where you and your master want to go on your fascist project. You are nationalist-socialist and you say your kind is superior to your neighbours?we learnt what that means ! NO WAY. DISARM THE TERRORISTS, DISARM ISRAEL

Faisal: Your steps for peace won't work on a terrorist organization. They never have or ever will negotiate in good faith. I have an idea, why doesn't the Indian govt. release all Islamic terrorists back to your contested areas? Oh thats right, they want to kill all Hindu's just because they aren't Islamic.

Is this man on the same planet as the rest of us? He is either extraordinarily naive, totally ignorant of Iranian 'diplomacy' for the past decade, or thoroughly committed to the Chamberlain school of appeasement. Perhaps France has its own hidden agenda (as usual).

iran is evil, and the french are its servents..... BOYCOTT FRANCE AND ITS PRODUCTS!!!

It's because people think like you that we need to protect ourselves. And that's why we can't trust frenchies. Les frouzes sont très versatiles, ont les dirigeants stupides qu'ils méritent. Continuez de baisser votre froc devant les islamistes, demain vous devrez faire allégence au prophète...

France has not learned from WW2. I guess also the first French intifadah of 2006 taught them nothing. They are terrified of the Arabs but what they don't realize is either way the Arabs among them are angry and there is no appeasing them.

What is there to answer in here .. Pakistan the american ally is behind this. Again i m saying u that majority of muslims are against Al qaida and all those terrorist groups who are using wrong ideology. State sponser terrorism is the real reason behind every thing .. How can terrorist get weapons , training and all money fundings . Every Indian do know what is the problem india is facing .. Its not Islam or Muslims ... Its pakistan who is fighting a proxy war in the name religion . Here you are not fighting radical muslims but wiping out innocent civilians and urs missles and bombs dont know its a muslim , christian or druse . I do respect state of Israel and i want israelis to stay in peace but it should be not on the price of innocent civilains . Ask urs govt to send ground troops and finish hizbullah problem off .Israel is having the most advance techonologies, how can it target innocent childrens .

Iran, governement and people are even greater than the French may think: They have never occupied a country and they never send their soldiers to mass kill children. Iranians are at home. They never occupy other territories and they report to the Almighty God only, while Israel and other Arab leaders in the region report to the warlords in America. America and Israel do believe the same thing, but they are too hypocrit to express it.

As I remember, France already brought this kind of peace to Europe in 1936. France required from Chech oslovakia to be disarmed (like from Israel). Then we all remember what happened.

This is a joke, right? They cannot be serious? ... they are? Seriously? Then this must be the twilight zone. Next thing we know France will ask to rehabilitate Saddam and clear Hitler, Mussolini and Franco for the great stabilizing role they played in Europe and how they contributed to mankind! Come on! Wake up! The Persian people IS a great people, no doubt about that, but they are led by the spiritual son of Hitler and Khomeini and his demented army of Allah's freaks. Do not vow any support to them, help the Iranian people to free themselves from the Islamic revolutionaries, then I'm sure they will play a stabilizing role. And by the way, also help the Lebanes to free themselves from the Islamic revolutionaries of Hizballah, and of the bloodthirsty Syrians.

France will let Iran go nuclear by blocking any action in the security council.

don't forget France is an islamic country preparing next year presidential elections.

how do you hurt a frenchman's ego? shoot 1 meter above his head. i mean, even after WW II, when they tried to assess war damages, Loyds of London couldn't find anything destroyed worth more than $4. isnt it a shame, though, that french fries arent really, in fact, french - fried. but seriously folks, leave poor dusty blizzard alone; he's french; he has enuf trouble as it is. each morning he wakes up and he's still french. they rally are (in the immortal words of our very own Mr. Bibette) scared. it's not that al kaida didnt WANT to blow anything up in Paris: they just couldn't find anything humanity would greatly miss. oh, and did you hear the one about the french angel? no? well, there aren't any, so there! or the one about the french intellectual who shot himself in the head? he missed. he was aiming at his ego. sorry for the incitement and slander but with regards to this blight upon the european continent, the language really is appropriate.

He has got to be joking. Has this man been watching any news lately???

Perhaps the French will incorporate an Iranian contingent in the int'l force to make sure Israel is really safe? Not! Paqid Yirmeyahu Israeli Orthodox Jew Advancing Logic as Halakhic Authority Welcoming non-Jews www.netzarim.co.il
