Bernard Kouchner: "We have to prepare for the worst, and the worst is war"

No ho ha dit ni Bush ni un neocon qualsevol. Ho ha dit el ministre francès d'Afers Estrangers, Bernard Kouchner:

The world must "must prepare for the worst" - including the possibility of war - in light of the Iranian nuclear crisis, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said Sunday.

"We have to prepare for the worst, and the worst, sir, is war," Kouchner said in an interview on LCI television and RTL radio.

Kouchner's comments follow a similarly hawkish statement by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who said last month in his first major foreign policy speech since taking office that a diplomatic push by the world's powers was the only alternative to "an Iranian bomb or the bombing of Iran."
