1. Another brainwashed American Puppy
moe ,   Lebanon   (08.27.07)
Mr sarkozy, first of all try cleaning your country from pedofiles and also its looks that you really see yourself as a big shot by starting your first couple of months critisizing countries like china and russia.if your citizens spend half the time working as hard as the chinese do instead of shooting drugs and molesting children,then you just might have a surplus growth in your economy which obviously is the real reason your envy and that of the idiot in the white house keep on about china
2. After the smoke clears, what next?
george ,   usa   (08.27.07)
Another regime change?
3. lol 1... YOU are brainwashed!!!

4. bravo SARKO lets do it soon
haim ,   mtl canada   (08.27.07)
we r behind u its about time somebody sees the IRANIAN MONKEY AS A DANGER
5. #1- Love your comments!
Cameron ,   USA   (08.27.07)
A critical critique from someone still sitting in the rubble of Beirut. Sarkozy = realist
6. #1 - did you read what you wrote before you posted it.....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (08.27.07)
you sound like a moron.
7. No Mo' Moe!
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (08.27.07)
I thought Moe from The Three Stooges happily went on to greener pastures in the afterworld. Looks like he's reincarnated in Lebanon, the stooge of Russia and China. No, world leaders who happen to think like President Bush are not puppies. They are courageous leaders unafraid of speaking the truth against propaganda from countries which sell arms and nuclear techonogy to Iran while assaulting the US and allies as being responsible for unrest in the Middle East. It doesn't fly, Moe!
8. Sarkozy is the best politician in Europe!
enzo ,   london.uk   (08.27.07)
9. Another American Stooge in France
Ron ,   Boston Mass, USA   (08.27.07)
Did Bush brainwash you up in Kennebunkport ? Talk like that will get your young people right back into the phony "coalition of the willing". You are an embarrassment to the legacy of great European leaders. At a time when Europe needs vision and inspiration, you are talking Republican trash from the USA.
10. Sarko
Jim ,   Chicago, IL   (08.27.07)
Sarko seems to have his head on straight, some of the posters here seem to have their head in the sand when it comes to Iran.
11. #1. Keep your mouth shot
Akram ,   Paris/Beirut   (08.27.07)
Before criticizing the others, look back home and see the infinite problems we have in Lebanon. This is what the Lebanese are good at, criticizing the others, while their country went 20 years back because of a bunch of stupid who wanted to show their might against the Israelis "across" the border. We, Lebanese, are the last ones to speak about internal problems. When you figure out how to build a "very democratic" state like France (while you have everybody disrespecting the constitution), then you will be welcome to speak. SUCH AN IGNORANT.
12. nuclear Iran?
Bob ,   Kansas City, USA   (08.27.07)
Yeah, a nuclear Israel is O.K. though? I think not.
13. Iran Airstrikes
VegN ,   United States   (08.27.07)
Take full repsonsibility and go it alone. If you want a nuclear free Middle East, then you are forgetting a country.
14. stooges
matt ,   detroit usa   (08.27.07)
Its funny how somebody can be freely and democratically elected and still be a stooge. Europe is turning its back on hyper liberalism, by majority vote, not by Washington mandate.
15. Bush's real Poodle
Ronald Tobias ,   Atlanta USA   (08.27.07)
Sarko is possibly even more dangerous than Bush (if one could believe). This vain little man could help lead us into another disastrous Middle East war.
16. moe...Lebanon
tee ,   mobile, USA   (08.28.07)
hey moe...your an idiot...
17. by the way
moe ,   lebanon   (08.28.07)
if i was the chinese leader,i would dump all my country's econimic growth surplus(us bonds and just for the fun of it,some of my european ones too) then we can enjoy using the greenback as a toilet roll....and if you people really want to get the unbiased speech of this french lunatic.... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070827/ap_on_re_eu/france_sarkozy
18. re: another brainwashed puppy.
terry ,   richmond usa   (08.27.07)
Do you even know why the chinese work so hard? Its because they have no choice, they live under a communist dictatorship. Or did that fact just happen to slip your mind? By the way did you notice that so many countries are recalling so called "high quality" chinese products? And why is it that if a forgien leader wants good relations with the us, they are brainwashed by the us? Perhaps if your country could focus on showing the rest of the middle east hat an arab/muslim democracy can work instead of being dominated by syrian and iranian stooges your country would have some surplus economic growth. Also, I believe french troops make up a decent portion of the un troops that in lebanon right now.
19. Sarkozy on Iran
Rich   (08.28.07)
Finally a European with a grasp of reality concerning both Syria and Iran.
20. Bob in K.C.
Laurence ,   Santa Ana, CA USA   (08.28.07)
Gee Bob, you think a nuclear Iran and nuclear Israel pose the same level of threat? Are you really that stupid? Or do your thinly veiled anti-Israel feelings require you to make idiotic moral equivalency arguments? Find an article anywhere where Israel has threatened another nation's existence......I'm waiting Bob.
21. LIMP WRIST EURO TRASH
dano ,   ADVANCE,USA   (08.27.07)
FINALLY a leader has risen from France- Not the limp wrist, America Bashing, Terrorist Protecting, Euro Tarsh talking morons of the past. It is time for Britain , Spain, Italy, and Germany to join in this. And please tell that smelly, funny looking, Chavez wanna be in Iran to bathe and shut up before we bathe his backside with a Hellfire Missile.
22. Not French or American
erik vilius ,   chicago, usa   (08.28.07)
Sarkozy is neither "Sarkozy the American" as some critics call him nor is he anything remotely French in style or politics. He is nothing more than a vain, rootless politican seeking his fifteen minutes of fame. It would be tempting to call him a neocon if not for the fact that they even have values, albeit the wrong ones. This is Sarkozy, Europe's newest clown. longwalksinparis.blogspot.com
23. 2003 all over again
Ishma ,   retro-conned, USA   (08.28.07)
This man is a Zionist. Of course he wants all threats, real or not, to israel destroyed. The Zionists control the USA and most of Europe. I would like to say that Russia isn't, but well they are two. Who benefits from any of this? The USA? France? No, just Zionists wanting world doninantion. Tune into Faux-News for the latest. Turn off your brain, W has got ya covered. Baaaaaaaa.
24. Bravo Sarkozy and France
buck ,   pa   (08.28.07)
Congatulations on joining the world stage again! It is refreshing to see the French people elect a president with a backbone. He will do great things for France and her neighbors. I for one am very pleased to see France embrace reforms that will empower individuals to achieve rather than mere liberal social programs to weaken the body of France. The whining socialists and communists are once again a minority in France. Take note US liberals. Unless you resort to terror you shall never prevail!
25. #12
Gene ,   Denver, CO USA   (08.28.07)
Let me see........... When was the last time Israel used a nuclear weapon? Equating defense with offense just proves that you idiots on the left have your heads buried up each other's butts.......
26. Sarkozy
Jeff in Miami ,   Miami Beach, FL, USA   (08.28.07)
Wow, a French President who has a pair, you have to love this guy! This guy gets it!
27. Bush's Poodle?
Mitch ,   Seattle, USA   (08.28.07)
What Sarko was proposing would PREVENT a war, moron. What is it you think is better than global sanctions? Let them nuke Israel? Is that your solution? Useful idots like you need to take a breath of reality and forget you liberal political mental illness for just long enough to understand the world we live in.
28. mouth "shot"?
moe ,   lebanon   (08.28.07)
no#11,i think you have been spending too much time surfing the net and enjoying the so called "democracy",so before you open your mouth and regurgitate,learn how to spell...as for the bunch of idiots you are refering to,i can only assume you are one of those "modernized and moderate" arabs.....lmfao....if you have a single cell thats functioning in your brain,you might really see where all this"democratic life" is bringing the world to....in your very limited brain(if any),how do you see the Iraqi people today?worse(in the dictatorship of saddam) or better in the white house idiot war to bring "democracy and freedom" to the people? i doubt if you can get your facts right since you'r busy "democratising" your life...thousands of americans are crying "impeach bush" everyday in his own country,but what happens? he cooly announces that the "surge" in iraq has just begun....how stupid can you be to believe in such a farce is beyond me....by the way,signing your city and country as "beirut/paris" seems to say it all....
29. Does the hate keep you warm?
Seth ,   Durham, NC, USA   (08.28.07)
You all are officially on the hook in 18 mos. when you doen't have W43 to blame all your life's ills on. An article about something which has nothing to do with my country or its president and you guys rail on him. You are the true idiots. Just go back to being the bed-wetting, booger-eating, pillow-biters you are and shut-up and let those with the balls finish this thing already. The anti-war crowd will be completely responsible for my children having to go back into the middle east in 20 years and fighting round 3. You all would cut off your nose to spite your face. You've become the thing you loath the most, pots calling the kettle black. The blood is on your hands too poodle boy.
30. Israel's Nukes
Harvie ,   Los Angeles   (08.28.07)
Go live in Israel's neighborhood and have all the countries around you wanting you to be pushed into the Mediterranean and not have nukes. I.5 billion enemies... how are you going to protect your people? More nukes for Israel, F-22 for Israel... pray for the peace of Israel.
