Sarkozy in Damascus backs away from US-led condemnation of Iranâ??s nuclear program

[flyingimam]

Sarkozy said that despite different stances in the West on Iran's nuclear program, diplomacy is the only solution to settle the dispute.

Sarkozy warned that an Israeli attack on Iran would be a "catastrophe," saying Iran needs to prove that its nuclear program does not "deviate" from its original peaceful purposes. He also noted that the Islamic Republic should have the right to use nuclear energy.

Iran, as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, is legally entitled to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. The West has repeatedly accused Iran of seeking nuclear weapons.

I will have to agree, there must be a way to push these mullahs to get on the table, hopefully the next US admin will talk without preconditions... cuz otherwise diplomacy is in a deadlock and time will run out!
