Let's not forget they're so weak that they were bullied into selling weapons to dictators the likes of Saddam Hussein...

What About this...
Koucher is saying France should (along with the E.U.) begin preparations for war against Iran. As expected these increases in tension are all based off of fears of a nuclear (Weapons wise) Iran. While I agree with these leaders I do question whether there really is an 'evil' intention behind the goal of the Iranians to successfully produce Nuclear Fuel Grade Uranium. Our Current Stance of shoot first talk later concerning the middle east is raising tension region wide; and as such the safest bet for the world is to keep Iran a nuke free nation.
The French President has wisely backed off of his Foreign Ministers veiled threat of war with Iran. He feels the goal now is to increase UN sanctions and negotiations. While this is the best recourse it means we are drawing closer to our current Cowboy In Chief whippin' out his pistols and goin' in with guns blazin'.

"How can we convince them to renounce this project, like the international community convinced Libya and North Korea? By discussion, dialogue and sanctions," he said.
Sarkozy said he will lobby for tougher sanctions on Iran when he attends the U.N. General Assembly session in New York next week.
France and fellow European Union members Britain and Germany have led Western powers in negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear program, which Iranian officials insist is aimed at producing civilian electric power. The United States accuses Iran of working toward a nuclear weapon.
