...refrained from attacking the Iranian leadership as he tries to create an atmosphere conducive to resolving the nuclear standoff, Sarkozy pulls no punches. In his Wednesday interview, the French President referred to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's "monstrosity" when he asked whether "we can accept a President from a great country - which Iran is - who says Israel should be wiped from...
