France: Sarkozy Strikes Tough Tone Toward Iran, Russia

[Psycho4Bud]

August 28, 2007 (RFE/RL) -- In his first major foreign-policy speech as French president, Nicolas Sarkozy said that an Iran with nuclear weapons was unacceptable.


And he warned that Iran could be attacked militarily if it did not meet its international obligations to curb its nuclear program.

"An Iran with nuclear arms is, to me, unacceptable, and I am weighing my words." Sarkozy told members of Franceâ??s diplomatic corps on August 27. "And I underline France's full determination to support the alliance's current policy of increasing sanctions, but also to remain open if Iran makes the choice to fulfill its obligations. This policy is the only one that will allow us to escape an alternative, which I consider to be catastrophic. Which alternative? An Iranian bomb or the bombing of Iran."

I wonder how aliens would look at this situation from above; nations full of nuclear weapons demanding under threat of war that Iran not have nuclear weapons.
