Mr Sarkozy is part Jewish. That, I find interesting.

I didn't know he was Jewish until I read this article. War on Islam! Oh yeah!

And if he was a Muslim you would have been fine with that. Right?

Answer 1

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kushner is 100% Jewish, and by the way, a famous supporter of Islamic militants in Kosovo.

Look, UK and French FMs both are Jewish: Milliband and Kushner. Both are Marxists, precisely Trotsky followers. Both like one type of Islamists (Leo Strauss' students) and hate another. Strange Jews, kinda anti-Zionists.

Answer 2

This is interesting. I thought France had many business interests in Iran. Maybe not. It could also be that he works for the same people (the bankers) and is just towing the party line. The propaganda machine will be ramped up over the next couple of months and the sheeple will be convinced that Iran wants to destroy the world. There will be an invasion and then all the sheeple will weep as the dollar collapses and the price of gas goes through the roof. It is so like the end of the Roman empire. I was speaking with someone yesterday and he kept talking about how powerful we are and I said I would imagine that the last Roman Emperor spoke of how powerful Rome was as well.

Answer 3

I asked a Q about this yesterday because I was wondering too.I think it might be power diplomacy in close contact with the Americans.The new French government is more pro America as the previous ones.America can't make credible military threats at this moment because they're pretty much stuck in Irak and Afghanistan.The French still have an army,rather large and contrary to popular belief they aren't that easy to push around.
It's my understanding the US and the EU pretty much agree about the Iran situation.There might be intelligence that suggests Iran is thinking they can do whatever because the US can't do anything and European countries will never attack anyway.These comments might be meant as a clear warning and a signal that military options are not of the table because America is not ready
That's the only logical explanation I can think of

Answer 4

The conservatives are taking over power reigns in many of the European countries that they were not in before. Thus it is important to put in order the means necessary to work together and ensure the alliances are there to keep countries like Iran and others are made to feel the pressure.

Answer 5

that's fairly weird and wonderful, because of the fact Bush became into in a position to convince Russia and China into helping sanctions against Iran And so a approaches Obama has no longer been in a position to convince Russia and China to help sanctions against iran. and we could no longer ignore North Korea, who Bush had close down their nuclear weapons software and nuclear reactors and permit worldwide inspectors in to be sure. Then Obama comes to a decision to permit them to restart the two courses lower back and has no diplomatic talks in any respect.

Answer 6

Because France is a western 'imperial' power just like us. Of course, when guys like GWB are in office, the French leadership has to distance themselves from us because European voters are more sophisticated. But their foreign policies are just a 'lite' version of ours. The west cannot afford for Iran to become a dominant player, and France realizes this.

Answer 7

Why are liberals so obsessed with the religious beliefs of others? The reason France has become so hawkish is because the President of France sees Iran for the evil that it is. This man is a first generation Frenchman, his parents having fled communism in Hungary. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will be responsible for inciting war, not the West.

wooper ~ lol

nileslad ~ Very well put.

Answer 8

France has a new conservative president. He, like Bush, know that a nuclear Iran cannot happen. I support a limited missile strike to take out their nuke program. I do not support a ground invasion at this point.

Answer 9

Sarkozy's a practicing Catholic. Should we get into the Obama was raised by Muslims,but he claims he's a Christian rhetoric. Nah,I didn't think so.

Answer 10

If the president of a nation said the island of Tobago should be wiped from the planet, I'd want that killer-in-waiting gone also.

Ahmadinejad being halted isn't about racial extraction; it's about humanity.
