Eight Months of Obama's Diplomacy

Eye to Eye on Iran
Obama and Nicolas Sarkozy talk in Strasbourg, France. The U.S. President and the French leader see eye to eye on Iran's nuclear ambitions. "Like President Sarkozy," Obama said in June 2009, "my view is that Iran's possession of a nuclear weapon would be profoundly dangerous — not just to the United States, not just to Israel, but to the entire region and, over time, the entire world. Because there's no possibility that Iran gets a nuclear weapon in which you don't see a whole host of countries in the Middle East decide, 'We've got to go for it as well.' "
