BBC:

French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner says the world should prepare for war over Iran's nuclear programme.

"We have to prepare for the worst, and the worst is war," Mr Kouchner said in an interview on French TV and radio.

Mr Kouchner said negotiations with Iran should continue "right to the end", but an Iranian nuclear weapon would pose "a real danger for the whole world".

Conscious and subconsious are two beings in human behavior..like subliminal music detracts the subconscious ..like wise the minister treats asian affairs subconsiously but want to hit frontal brain that he will need to muster a front to war!
You must know that FRANCE and SCANDANIVIA ran to make a 'ISLAMIC' bomb for Pakistan. I say 'ISLAMIC'that because then their Press labelled Pakistani scientific development as 'Islamic Bomb'

Well, I truly believe the Three Amigo Tag Team of Man Tits has gone JUST about far enough.

Yo! France, you keep your little Napoleon busy on his treadmill on your side of the pond, and we'll be hog-tying and re-branding this mess of a POTUS office we have that's such an embarrasement here.

Why is it the alpha twits are the only ones interested in public office any longer?

Yes you certainly should. Like Dick Cheney, I have more important things to do.

POLITICAL SCIENCE

No one likes us - I don't know why
We may not be perfect but Heaven knows we try
But all around even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the Big One and see what happens

We give them money, but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us - so let's surprise them
We'll drop the Big One and pulverize 'em

Boom goes London and boom Parie
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another big American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody FREE
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop The Big One now
Let's drop The Big One now

-Randy Newman- 1969

Did we learn NOTHING from Iraq? The French apparently, have learned less that nothing...

Jeeeeeeeezus Christ! Why the hell are we always having to deal with so many idiot leaders? These people lack any intelligence. You know that wars are always started by stupid, lazy men who just can't take the time and effort to think creatively to come up with any solution other than war. Maybe the problem is that they just don't have any creative intelligence. Again, that is why they are lazy. War is always a cop out.

Maybe we should just tell all the men to get out of office and let the women run the world for awhile. Men seem unable to break the war habit. Too much macho inbreeding.

There should be an international rule that if anyone wants to start a war, they have to be willing to put on a uniform, strap on a gun and be the first in line when it starts. How many wars do you think we would have then? These guys are all cowards. They get to sit in their nice safe havens, far away from the bombs and bullets, no problem! Tell that French guy he gets to go first if he says that one more time. The French people should demand he go first if he condones another damned war.

And while were at it, we should kick Bush's sorry ass out of a plane in the middle of Iran, along with the redneck Frenchman, and let them show the world just how tough they really are. Now that would be a very short war, don't you think?

Hmmm. nice. I usually think of Bush as having inherited the most deadly fighting force on earth (thanks to about 40 years of the cold war) and being the immature child that he is, he just HAS to play army in his persoanl sanbox (the Middle East).
Can you imagine the fun and glee he is having... every spoiled brat boys dream.. controlling the world with his toy army. The sad part is that his little toy army men bleed and die

I term this as diliberate mismanagement of World Government by French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner . The word WAR should have become a 'sin' even intellectually.You take press just to deduce others and shouldnt/cannot ban Iran from high technology or free thinking, when you are sitting in a minority and divided world. A divided world because of Turkey that is not giving out from post ww2 dictations. .

I think it quite certain that you can expect a wholesale, highly techno, prolonged attack on Iran in the next several weeks. And with it, "World War Episode Three: The Return of the Nukes" will, at long last, have transitioned from the "phony war" stage to a hot one.

A =very= hot one.

And with just a few simple signatures of a bill that is already on the House floor, already logged in, "every person from age 18 to 42" (notice: male or female, young or old) will be drafted for mandatory military or "national" service... at the President's sovereign perogative.

And then, I think, all Hell will break loose because the surprise plot-twist of this Episode will be that the white-knight which won the last two Episodes by sheer force-of-economy will now (a) be the =aggressor=, and (b) be severely beaten-up as it wades into the fray without the truly-powerful and truly-autonomous economic strength of its storied past. One of the counter-attacks, and one of the most effective ones, will in fact be =economic.=

The bold boasts of, and a great many of the very expensive "wiz-bangs" of, the Military Industrial Complex will be proved false, and there will be no depth-of-muscle to make up for it. Most ironically, America will find itself fighting against many of its own weapons systems.

History is clear: "World War" Episodes will continue, and each Episode always champions the use of the technological innovation that stalemated the previous one. And we all know what stopped the last Episode...

When did WAR become a GAME? If you are preparing for war, you certainly don't want to say it.

I am sure, after hearing that, Iran is not stocking up missile and other goodies.

Iran is no Iraq. Don't believe it when you are told it would just be a surgical strike.

After a surgical strike, Iran would have every right to attack U.S. soldiers in Iraq. Iraq might just go up in smoke.

Another Long Shot Possibility:

If the French want Iran, they could try to take it provided the invasion is totally on their own without any assistance from NATO, or EU countries. Then the French will learn what it to be unwelcomed as an invading force. Such an invading force might be more concerned about maximizing war profiteering, lucrative industrial contracts and plundering natural resources. Remember the French also has “The Bomb” that they can use anytime they please.

Let the French also have Israel if they can turn it into another Paris, South Baqnk, vineyard, wine, and cheese bistro mega-center. Just imagine Israel without all of the religious garbage currently there, so embedded in the very dysfunctional culture.

"France has a MAJOR muslim problem."

Yes and so does much of the rest of the world.
The border are too leaky and many illegal aliens sneak in with little policing.

The clash of cultures continues.

We should cut out ALL immigration until the situation is resolved.

Make no mistake about it. The Muslems create their own "neighborhoods" by grouping together in droves. Many do not want to assemilate into the new cultures. Like the spanish speaking illeal aliens and anal retard gays they want special treatment in the form of privalages and broad acceptance that have not been earned by merit nor integrity.

The Democratic Party with their huge "umbrella" has been readily pandering to all those unpopular groups, Muslems included. They will never learn to be selective.

Ummm yeah.... Rights were only made for the white man anyway, who gave all those "other" people the idea of voting? My hope is that the Republican party becomes so selective that they cease to be a political force. And judging from the current election, they are well on their way.

(BTW: Its Muslims, not "Muslems", so before you start making generalizations about 29% of the worlds population, ya might as well get their name right.)
