61. To Akram #11. Have Spoken Wisely.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (08.28.07)
You are speaking wise words, Akram. Moe #1 reveals himself to be an envious person -- ( ".. see yourself as a big shot ") he wrote. Generally the vision of such a person becomes BLURRED due to his enviousness. And thus his words have NO value -- it is just hot air. But you, Akram, have spoken wisely.
62. France's Sarkozy raises prospect of Iran airstrikes
Abrar ,   Ontario,Canada   (08.28.07)
Seems like Sarkozy did not take too long to fill the 'shoes' of Tony Blair..the difference is he seems to be more blunt and it does not bode well for PEACE any time soon in that part of the world (Mid East) If Iraq is not enough another war is being built up...such ballistic talk is not going to help the atmosphere in reolving the issue. Lets hope cooler heads prevail as an IRAQ 2 is not not in anybody's interest.
63. puppets
Harry ,   Miami, USA   (08.28.07)
a democratically elected puppet? interesting. I bet sarkozy helped plan 9/11 too because we all know it wasn't extremist muslims... I mean really have any of you ever met a radical islamic terrorist? I haven't... they are just made up so bush and sarkozy can dominate the world... Oh wait, bush's term is coming to an end in a year so world domination or usa domination is out of the queston...thats interesting the left's heroes like castro and chavez seem to be the ones that like to stay around forever and change laws to remian in power, cut dissent, close tv stations, and jail anyone with an opinion in order to maintain control....
64. #1 is your first name ho???
jerome ,   basalt, co   (08.28.07)
seriously though are you really believing what you wrote? Do you really even have a clue what your talking about? do you only read the hamass gazette and the hibulshitallah times for your news source? get a job @ comedy club with your opinions cause it's laughalble!!!!!!!!!!
65. FROM A HALF FRENCH AMERICAN
Robert Carroll ,   Philadelphia, Pa   (08.28.07)
FINALLY A FRENCH LEADER WITH BALLS. MY GRANDMOTHER CAME FROM PARIS THOUGH ELLIS ISLAND IN 1910. MY OTHER HALF IS IRISH AND MY MOMS OTHER HALF WAS WELSH. SHE SETTLED IN PITTSBURGH. WE HAVE TO BOMB IRAN. NO QUESTION ABOUT IT THEY ARE OUT OF THEIR MINDS AND WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. I AM GLAD A FRENCH PRESIDENT HAS SOME BALLS. THIS WORLD IS IN BAD ENOUGH SHAPE AND UNLESS WE WANT TO TURN WOMEN INTO SERVANTS WE HAVE TO TAKE OUT IRAN IN THE NEXT 3 MONTHS.
66. Avoiding war?
blake ,   usa   (08.28.07)
What makes you think we can avoid a war with Islamic militants? It isn't just like we can ignore these guys and they will go away. Just ask any school teacher in southern Thailand these days. There are no Jews, Americans, or Europeans there and they still can't get along.
67. Wake Up
DA ,   Rancho Murieta, USA   (08.28.07)
It appears your solution to world problems is to roll over and play dead. Is nuclear proliferation in the middle east a world problem? Absolutely. If the energy markets are severly disrupted by a nuclear catastrophy in middle east the entire world's economy could be sent into a catastrophic recession. That risk is real. The new French president appears to be smart enought to realize that sometimes you must talk and act tough in order to try and reduce this worldwide risk. I believe he reached this conclusion on his own just as GWB did. These are two leaders who realize that you have to talk tough to bring people to the negotiating table. In my opinion this has a greater chance of working than rolling over and playing dead. World wide politics is a giant poker game. You win some hands and you lose some hands. The goal is to win the game. In my opinion these two leaders opinion of wining the game is to keep the worldwide economy moving. I think they are acheiving success in this goal.
68. France's Leader
Ed Ruffin ,   Pensacola, FL   (08.28.07)
It looks like bush has himself a new little poodle.
69. BRAVO!`

Murdering the innocent people of Lebanon.
71. To Moe #28. A Very Boring Society.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (08.28.07)
You write :"you are one of those moderate Arabs ". FROM this I can conclude that you are a protector of the rights of the Jihadist Muslims. Jihadist Muslims likes to have FULL freedom for themselves to carry out their terror attacks -- while they, i.e. the Jihadist Muslims, don't want others to exercise their freedom of speech, belief, religion. Moe, what kind of society do you guys want to live in ?? A society where there is chopping off of heads, chopping off of hands -- and that every day ?? THAT must be a very boring society. NO other pleasure -- except the pleasure of choppings ?? You guys must have a very OBNOXIOUS taste of pleasure. To Terry #37. Bravo for your marvellous talkback.
72. Yea, let's rally more countries against Iran
Obama ,   Washington DC   (08.28.07)
Even the Arab neighbors are no longer on Iran's side.
73. Sarkozy has guts and vision
Diogenes ,   USA   (08.28.07)
the jihadists, of the religion of peace, know nothing but violence and hatred. Love and forgiveness are unknown in the Quran. Achmadeinijad's threats deserve to be heeded...he will get nukes on his reactors...that he will understand.
74. This Site Problems
Jack ,   USA   (08.28.07)
Why is this site formated poorly?
75. Moe from lebanon
joe ,   tampa,fla.   (08.28.07)
Hey Moe! You are an idiot and are obviously more brain washed than even your own brothers. You JUST DON"T GET IT. You never will. Every country has pedophiles, hell, in africa pedophilia is practically a religion--Not to mention the far eastern countries. Malaysia has more child prostitution than any country in the world AND THEY ALL HIDE BEHIND ISLAM.

david ,   chicago, usa   (08.28.07)

Eagle ,   Oregon, U.S.A   (08.28.07)

80. Iran switched to Russian Arms
Ugly American ,   Las Vegas, USA   (08.28.07)

81. Ron in Boston
Don ,   Phoenix, AZ USA   (08.28.07)

83. Sarkozy
eric the great ,   Minneapolis MN   (08.28.07)
Amazing how many people here cannot see a difference between supporting states with Western values (freedom), and those of Islamic regimes(slavery). It is almost unbelievable. I mean there was a reason the US stuck nukes in Europe in the 80's because communism is our enemy, and so are the religious whack jobs in Iran and a few other places in the MIddle East. And that is why Israel has nukes and Iran will not.
84. Dr Watson
Jack ,   Miami, FL   (08.28.07)
A. Sarkozy is not a Jew. Yes, he has some Jewish background, but dont make misleading statements that he's a Jew. B. Even if he were a Jew what's the problem with him supporting Israel? Are you an anti-semite or something? Guiliani and plenty of other powerful icons also support Israel, does that make him Jewish?
85. Lots of trolls
Shlomo ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (08.28.07)
Lot of Israeli "right-wing" trolls here. I don't think your comment was respected, number 1. Please go somewhere your points of view are appreciated. In here 40% of the trolls are vile racist, inhumane pricks who could give a damn about you. But nice you took the time.
86. France
Paul Peterson ,   Torrance, Ca.   (08.28.07)
Finally a French leader with some knowledge of what is going on in this world and has the guts to say it. Congratulations France.Maybe the United States can have a real ally in you yet.
87. to Abrar in Ontario
AB ,   USA   (08.28.07)
"Seems like Sarkozy did not take too long to fill the 'shoes' of Tony Blair.. and it does not bode well for PEACE ...." -Abrar, Ontario I would say what REALLY does not bode well for peace is radical islamists who will not quit killing until their brand of islam dominates the middle east and the western world. You've got to take your head out of the sand sometime and face reality.
88. No Double standard at all
Jeff D ,   Phoenix, Arizona USA   (08.28.07)
I dont remember Israel ever saying they were going to destroy Iran, they have had the bomb for many years and not ever used it. Iran on the other hand has openly said they will all die... by what only sounds like a Nuke nuke to me. It is his stated goal (prophecy he believes) to bring back the missing imam that fell down the well.... They are thumbing their noses at the world just like Saddam was and I dont believe GWB will leave office with out stopping their current progress. He has every right at this point, they are already engaging us in Iraq, just a matter of when at this point.
89. BottomLine:: France finally got a sensible President !!
KMR ,   Middle East   (08.28.07)
90. bomb bomb bomb
dan ,   zürich   (08.28.07)
i just hear things like: " Please take out the Iran Nuke Program to prevent WW3! " and other brainwashed shit. the attack on iran is the start off ww3.this is the plan. the destruction will be immense......
