A unilateral attack by Israel against Iran to thwart the Islamic republic's nuclear ambitions would be an "absolute catastrophe", French President Nicolas Sarkozy was quoted by AFP as saying on Thursday.
Just who would this be a catastrophe for? It would definitely be one for Iran and it's nuclear ambitions. It would be one for Momo and the Ayatollah. It would be one for Bashir Assad and Syria. In fact, it would be a major catastrophe for all the islamists who have a vested interest in Iran gaining nuclear weapons.
However, this is not the catastrophe that Mr. Sarkozy is referencing. What he means is that it would be a catastrophe for modern Western diplomacy. It would be a catastrophe for appeasement. It would be a catastophical stoke on western egos.
"Israel should know that it is not alone and look at all this calm. If I have fought so hard in the name of France to get people talking about Iran it's also a message to the Israelis that they are not alone," he said.
If by not being alone Mr. Sarkozy is referencing the western approach, I would rather be left alone. Winston Churchill once stated (I paraphrase) that "Americans will always do what is right. After they have exhausted all other avenues". This now applies to the entire western world. However, they now exhaust every avenue at least 20 times each. By the time they are ready to do what is right, what they were trying to stop is already in place.
Whereas islamists are insane because they are killing themselves one by one. The west is insane because it continually does the same thing and expects different results.
Thanks but no thanks Mr. Sarkozy. As General Patton once said (I paraphrase again) "I would rather have the enemy in front of me rather than the French behind me".
