If my worldview were collapsing, I guess I'd be bitter, too. Germany, then France, turn more favorably-dipsosed towards a strong America, and all you can do is blabber off leftist talking points?

About time!!

On the hand, he urges to be drawn up timelines removing from Iraq, and onto the other hand, preparing the path into airstrike against Iran, these two perceptions are'nt completing each other because at the moment of withdrawal from Iraq. Iran will conquer Iraq, and then it will be more harder to hit Iran because the Islamic revolutionary guard corps may jeopardies all the region more easily. Sarkozy's view isn't logic, it's impossible to resolve the Iranian criss and at the same time remove Usa troops from Iraq. Iran already now continues to smuggling weapons and destabilize Iraq. Syria: Sarkozy won't get anything from Syria unless the west will benefit Assad with a postal combination of incentives, Syria won't accept the sovereignty of Lebanon, especially not in the next future. In order to a cut off damascus-tehran axies, you must eliminate the tougher one. Turkey: turkey should be at EU immdiatley.

You guys seem very eager to pass judgments. Sarkozy is doing a great job, thus far, and France is lucky to have him. He is not brainwashed; he just sees that terrorism exists. Just about all of the world leaders see that; they just don't believe in jumping into Iraqi neighborhoods to deal with that. As for inspiration and vision, the world, especially the EU needs to be more cautious of Russia and China pushing their own agendas in the middle East. Russia and China are pushing their special interests (admittedly, we are not exempt from this either) like chess pieces out there in the fragile Mid East. Lastly, in response to the outrageous statement that the French should work as hard as the Chinese; wtf? China has recalled tons of their products, from toys to toothpaste; would you want lead in your Bouille (cheese) or Bordeaux?-- probably not; so you two especially need to get off your high horses.

Although I do not entirely agree with the US foreign policy (particularly as it relates to the Middle East). It is very apparent - to me at least - that a country with a leader that's openly said he wishes to 'abolish' or destroy the jewish state of Israel, should not be allowed, under any circumstances, to develop Nuclear Weapons. That fact is, Iran has, and has always had, very ambiguous intentions. That, combined with their candor about Israel, makes this a no brainer, folks.

Are you the famous Moe of Moe, Curley and Larry--the three stooges? Sound like it.

If you hate democracy so much, why dont you stop exercising your free speech, and while you're at it, did you realize freedom of the press(i.e. accesing an article on the internet) was brought to you by democracy. Are you so insecure in the strength of your own beliefs that you despise giving other people the right to choose theirs? You must be one of those ignorant, backwards arab/muslims.

This is the kind of leader we could use. He managed to take-on Russia, China, US, Turkey then says we might have to bomb Iran. What more could you ask for -a dashing French Reagan? France is Back!

Bob are you educated? Are you an anti semite . Do you know the differance between a Democracy and a toltarian Nation. You think that a Country such as Iran would be ok with Nukes or on the same Level as Isreal? I don't recall Isreal advocating the aniliation of nations

Sarkozy is of Hungarian Jewish background, so it is not surprising that he supports Israel, like any good Jew would.

Maybe Europe can see they migsht be the target of terrorists. Moe reminds me of the three stoogies, named harry, larry and moe. Moe was the dumb one.

Libs are a joke. Peace at any cost. Terrific.

Our peacenik friends can barely think outside the platitudes that "War is Bad" and "Bush is Evil". The world moves on and they're still pining for Vietnam.

Vive Sarkozy. Europe has a leader at last. Merci Merci Merci Beaucoup.

Moe - Look in the mirror and ask yourself who is making the situation in Iraq worse? IS it the US soldiers? Or the Arabs living in Iraq/Iranian-backed militia? Who is blowing up cars/citizens daily? Who is pouring gasoline over 5 year olds and setting them on fire? Who is it trying to make the country succeed and develop and who is trying to blow up every corner and bring the country down? Thank you

if iran cant have nukes why do israel have 200? how many wars have iran started? ZERO how many has israel started? i dont know,alot of wars

Sarkozy brings new hope to the civilized world. France willing to confront terrorists and their sympathizers is a big surpise but a very refreshing one. Another nation growing a backbone, another nail in the coffin of evil people.

There is no logic in his foreign policy whatsoever. Some weeks ago he sold a nuclear powerplant to Libya. This plant is capable of producing material that can be used for a nuclear bomb. Now he wants to bomb Iran for developing nukes? Can anybody tell me where the difference between Gaddafi and Ahmadinejad is? I think both are not very trustworthy.

"Mo" must be short for "moron."

Here, Here via Sarkozy! Someone who will stand up in Europe against those who want to kill non-muslims like Ron, the blind from Boston

FINALLY, A French leader with some Kahunas.

France's new Premier is looking a lot like Bush's latest "lapdog". I thought your country produced intelligent politicians? If Israel is allowed to have atomic weapons then...why should Iran not be allowed? Do you not see a double standard here? Shame on you!

like your comment a lot. Turkey; well most likely will join EU together with Israel and Lebanon when Syria finally will be put back to her right place. this can only happen when Iran is neutrlised, whether politically or by military means. Since America is not ready to start a new war it needs a strong eurpean allies. France finally got a president that can think and has no visible psychiatric problems. I guess when the time comes for bombing Iran the planes should fly over Syria and drop a few bombs at Damascus to mark a new beginning. It may even happen soon. I have a feeling that plans for bombing Iran have been ready for at least 2 years.France wouldn't want to miss the boat especially if it is ready to go. By the same token it is clear now that in order to withdraw from Iraq the issue of Iran must resolved first.

I am pleased to see that France finally has a leader who is smart enough to see reality and brave enough to speak the truth!

Great leaders in Eorope??? The only one I can think of in modern history is Churchill. Bet you are in love with "Peace in our Time" Chamberlain!! All the others that have followed have been and are socialist stooges! Maybe someday you and your anti war liberal friends will realize that all that these savages understand is violence. One question to you my friend if you find a hornets nest next to your child's playhouse what do you do. Negotiate with them to leave your child alone??? No you bomb them into submission!

FANTASTIC! Thank God the French came to their senses & elected a man like Sarkozy!

Hail to France for electing an intelligent and capable leader. This man will become an important figure in world politics for his wisdom and rationale for the current situations facing our globe.

Sarko aint Jewish, he's Romanian

Yes! Please take out the Iran Nuke Program to prevent WW3!

Hey Ron, don't worry, you and your ivory tower hackey-sack playing pot smoking dope heads will get your 2nd try to get it right. After Hillary and her bitch (I mean bill) get BACK into office (probably for another 8 years) they allow more of Bin Laden's cronies run roughshod over here and do nothing. You are an idiot. Go back to Starbucks where you belong. moron
