Sarkozy's Astonishing Anger Against Iran Finally Explained: Cecilia Divorced him

 ccun.org, October 18, 2007

A Call from the ccun.org Editor:

President Sarkozy surprised international relations students and observers when he lately called for attacking Iran for its nuclear program. This was an unexpected radical change in the French foreign policy and a sudden departure from his predecessor's policy. 

It seems that his statements about attacking Iran reflected his unstable family life than an objective decision making.

For the sake of international peace, this is a call for French women to solve Nicolas's problem as soon as possible.
