The French foreign minister, whose government is positioning itself to play a leading part in Mideast peace efforts, has described Iran as a respected country that plays a stabilizing role in the region.
Philippe Douste-Blazy told a news conference in Beirut Monday that Iran was "a great country, a great people and a great civilization which is respected and which plays a stabilizing role in the region."

Not suprising that a nation that consistently threatens Israel with extinction is viewed by the French as a "stabilizing force."

The article makes my head hurt! What morons! I hope they end up targets of their friendly terrorists!

Yes, Germany was as stabilizing to France from 1940-1945 and Iran has been to Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, etc.
Yeah, right. Now where did that "why do we bash France?" thread get to...
France is collaborating again... eager to do their part in the next holocaust.
Iran is a proxy for France...
Yup. Islamic terrorists blow things up in France and now they're cozying up with Iran?
We saved them three times in war.
We paid for the rebuilding of their nation.
This is the bullsh*t that we get from that pansy Chiraq, for however the hell you spell his name.
Of course, why are we surprised? Iran is probably a big buyer of French missiles and fighter jets.
The French are on Iran's Preferred-Surrender Program.
