ANGOULEME, France (Reuters) - Everything must be done to avoid the prospect of war with Iran, French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said on Monday, a day after his foreign minister said Paris should prepare for that possibility.
"France's role is to lead towards a peaceful solution of a situation that would be extremely dangerous for the rest of the world," he said. He added that Kouchner was right to say the situation was dangerous and should be taken seriously.
Kouchner said in an interview on LCI television and RTL radio on Sunday: "We must prepare for the worst," adding: "The worst, sir, is war."

Kouchner just said what everybody is thinking : if we don't stop Iran through negociations, we are going to war (whoever starts it). French analysts says that if Iran isn't stopped and goes nuclear (militarily) the surrounding countries (Saudis, Egypt and Turkey) will go nuclear.
France will never attack Iran without a UN clearance. To get to that level the situation must be pretty bad. So the best that can be done is to abort the Iranian program with peaceful means before it gets to late.
The biggest problem is that the US will probably bomb the shit of Iran before negotiations can succeed. They have that bad habit. This will result into the whole region going nuclear.
The other problem is the US lefties : by denying the problem they just give arguments to the right-wingers. Democrats can have a tough stance on Iran without starting a war and working with the Europeans. That is far more efficient.
