Holy Christ, you can't seem to count on Chirac for anything in confrontations. He's now claiming that if Iran were to get a bomb, it wouldn't be "very dangerous" because if they used it on Israel, then Tehran would be "razed". Ok, I shouldn't have to explain this to him, because he's the President of a country, but it appears that I need to.
You have a President in Iran who believes that the end times are coming and that Israel must be "wiped off the map". He's not thinking like a rational person would. They won't mind if they die. Then you have to explain why Tel Aviv is a smoldering crater with thousands or even millions dead. You'll see people screaming at why nothing was done when it was festering to begin with. You don't wait for a rattlesnake to strike on the hopes that the snake will be "reasonable" and count on the fact that the snake may or may not die.
There's a world changing event going on at this moment and Jacques Chirac is showing that he's not willing to confront world problems head on like any responsible world leader should. This reversal of a strong opposition to Iran's nuclear issue will embolden them and lead them to believe that they can and should continue their uranium enrichment. Who's to say that they won't give the bomb to Hezbollah, the militant terrorist group that they've already acknowledged that they support? Hezbollah would have a field day at deciding which target they'd like to hit. Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, or even the US would all be potential targets. The only question would be, which one gets the unlucky roll of the dice. Worse, the radiological fallout would give cancer and other horrible side effects for everyone in the region for years to come.
