Sarkozy Calls Obama "Naive" about Iran

The world diplomatic landscape has surely changed when the President of the French Republic takes a harder line on Iranian nuclear proliferation than the President of the United States.  As reported in The Independent of Dublin (the one in Ireland, not the one in Ohio), President Sarkozy mocked President Obama as "naive" following Obama's speech to the United Nations.  As quoted in the article, Sarkozy had the following to say about Obama's speech:

"We live in a real world not a virtual world," the Frenchman told the 15-member council. "And the real world expects us to make decisions.  President Obama dreams of a world without weapons . . . but right in front of us two countries are doing the exact opposite.  Iran since 2005 has flouted five security council resolutions. North Korea has been defying council resolutions since 1993.  I support the extended hand of the Americans, but what good has proposals for dialogue brought the international community?  More uranium enrichment and declarations by the leaders of Iran to wipe a UN member state off the map," he continued, referring to Israel.

Thank heavens someone is actually saying it.  If you were looking for The New York Times to report on President Sarkozy's comments, you would still be waiting.  The Wall Street Journal published an opinion piece today about Sarkozy's tongue-lashing of Obama, but little else can be found in American newspapers.  Now that "The Chosen One" has fallen on his face, the American media, which have been his cheerleaders since he announced his candidacy, can only avoid embarrassment by hiding the news from the American people.
