Nuclear issue on bid by Claudia Sonea

After only six months in office the French President Sarkozy brought a change in the relations with Americans and made a visit to Washington to settle out differences created by the war in Iraq. The visit ended with the statement on Wednesday, when both Bush and Sakozy expressed they desire to collaborate in convincing Iran to give up its nuclear weapons. Despite the rumors that Bush actually heads towards war against Iran, he said that his choice is diplomatic and that is why France and U.S. have to work together. French President added that Iran should be allowed to have civilian nuclear power and if indeed it's true that the main purpose of Tehran is to have access to nuclear energy and nothing more. The meeting was unique due to the fact that it was held to such a neutral place and with great significance for the Americans, the home of George Washington, Virginia. Even before Wednesday, Bush had made a rare invitation to the conservator, pro-American French leader at his parents' home on the Maine coast while Sarkozy and his family vacationed at a lake nearby- soon afterwards the first French couple divorced. It was a good strategy for the two to appear together with the main house behind them, hence the relations between the two countries become better and all conflicts were iron out. Sarkozy wants to make his country a vanguard of the movement against global warming, while Bush sustains mostly voluntary and technology-based solutions to the problem. However he is cheering France's effort to break a political deadlock over elections in Lebanon by traveling to Damascus and trying to discuss the accusations made by Lebanon's anti-Syrian parliament majority in regarding the presidential elections through its allies in Lebanon. The lawmakers gathered in the chamber of the House of Representatives for a Joint Meeting of Congress were impressed by Sarkozy's speech expressing gratitude for the American help during the World War II, Iran's nuclear program, Middle East peace and the stability of Lebanon. Moreover he impressed during his speech when he was awarded by the American Jewish Committee as a tireless promoter of democratic values. He reinforced that France would fight for Israel's security. He surely succeeded to enter in Bush's favors. Still it's a lesson for everyone that collaboration is much better than arguments and protests. Don't go away, there is certainly more to come.
