Sarkozy says letting Iran go nuclear could cause war
Source: Reuters

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Allowing Iran to acquire nuclear weapons could destabilize the world and lead to war, French President Nicolas Sarkozy told the United Nations on Tuesday.

In his maiden speech to the U.N. General Assembly, Sarkozy said: "There will be no peace in the world if the international community falters in the face of nuclear arms proliferation."

Iran was entitled to nuclear power for civilian purposes, he said, "but if we allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, we would incur an unacceptable risk to stability in the region and in the world".

In a broader warning against the dangers of appeasement, the new French leader said: "Weakness and renunciation do not lead to peace. They lead to war."

17. Sarkozy is already showing his neo-con stripes.
France will get what they asked for once he rapes the system for all it's worth. He'll bleed the masses dry to pay his corporate masters. A Democrat in the Whitehouse is what we need to keep him in line.

18. So in a reversal of fortune, the neo-cons now want to rename a few things...
It will now be known as French Apple Pie. In baseball it will be French Baseball League and the song will now be known as "God Bless France".

Thank you, you have been warned, please consult your newspeck dictionary if there is any confusion.

20. Scare-kozy is already dropping
A week or two ago in Nouvel Observateur a poll showed that support for the new poodle had dropped 5%. And nine percent for Koushner. They'd better toss the neocons before their rich masters pocket the country.
