France to "open up" to Syria
http://zionism-israel.com/israel_news/2007/08/france-to-open-up-to-syria.htmlI predicted that those who thought that France's new President would pursue a more intelligent and moral Middle East policy would be disappointed. Sorry to say that I was right.

PARIS: France is ready to open up in a "spectacular way" to Syria if it stops meddling in Lebanon, Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said. Kouchner said he hoped that Syria would "not create obstacles to Lebanon's sovereignty" when it holds presidential elections next month.
"If Syria does not create obstacles to Lebanon's sovereignty then France will open up to Damascus in a spectacular way," Kouchner said, adding: "But for this to happen, we would need guarantees."
Kouchner did not rule out visiting Iran.
"Why not, if it can be useful to advance peace?" he asked.
But he added that France remained adamant in demanding that Tehran give up its nuclear ambitions saying a nuclear-armed Iran would pose "a great danger." - AFP
