You know something is wrong when the French look tougher than the Americans. French President Nicolas Sarkozy is standing up to the Iranians, while left-wing pansies from the U.S. want to "talk" to Iran and terrorist groups like Hizballah.
"How is it that a people such as the Iranian people - one of the world's greatest peoples, one of the world's oldest civilisations, sophisticated, cultured, open - have the misfortune of being represented as they are today by some of their leaders?"Merci beau coup, President. Maybe Obama should actually take a foriegn policy lesson from the French. Go figure.
"...I find it impossible to shake hands with somebody who has dared to say that Israel must be wiped off the map."
"I know perfectly well that we must resolve what is perhaps the most serious international crisis we are having to resolve: that of Iran moving towards a nuclear bomb."
"We cannot resolve it without talking to Iranian leaders, but, after what was the Holocaust, after what was the 20th century, I cannot sit at the same table as a man who dares to say: Israel must be wiped off the map."
Sarkozy's statements were enough to cause French Ambassador to Iran, Bernard Poletti, to be summoned for a sit-down to discuss Sarkozy's remarks.
