"I Won't Shake Hands With People who Refuse to Recognize Israel"....

What kind of relation Sarkozy want with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ?

Few words :

"I Won't Shake Hands With People who Refuse to Recognize Israel"....

But what kind of acts ?

He said the same thing about VLADIMIR PUTIN ...

"To those who accused him of having met with Bush he respond that it was "shameful less than shake hands with Putin," and it was reminiscent of the tens of thousands of deaths from the war in Chechnya. "The new president has promised a new French vision of the world" "

but he was the first to congragulate Putin for his election.

(Reuters) -

French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Wednesday he would
refuse to greet any world leader who refused to recognise Israel -- a remark
apparently ruling out any face-to-face meetings with Iran's Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad.

Sarkozy made the off-the-cuff remark in a speech to the
French-Jewish community in which he reaffirmed his strong support for
international sanctions against Tehran over its nuclear programme.

"I won't shake hands with people who refuse to recognise Israel," Sarkozy declared.

Ahmadinejad, Iran's hardline president, has in the past called for the Jewish state to be "wiped off the map".

France has led the way in pressing for sanctions at the U.N. Security Council and in the European Union to get Iran to halt atomic work which Western powers fear is aimed at making
bombs.
