"Iran is taking a major risk by continuing the process of seeking nuclear technology for military ends, because one day, no matter which Israeli government is in power, one morning we will awake to find Israel has attacked.
It's not a question of whether it is legitimate or intelligent or not. It would be a catastrophe, and we must avoid such a catastrophe."
-- Nicolas Sarkozy, French President, at four-way summit in Syria
