Holocaust Denier in chief Mahmoud Ahmadinejad makes veiled threat to French President Sarkozy. The sanctimonious leader Ahmadinejad even had the audacity to say he would counsel Sarkozy and called him young and inexperienced. Ahmadinejad said that proposed sanctions were bound to fail because Germany nor Italy will follow France's lead.

Ahmadinejad may have a point because a recent article in the New York Times points out German companies still exported $5.7 billion worth of goods to Iran in 2006, up from $5 billion in 2004. Italy’s Premier Romano Prodi has recently stated Iran has every right to develop a peaceful nuclear program and the world has the right to verify its peacefulness.

Excerpt from AP:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called his French counterpart, Nicolas Sarkozy, "young and inexperienced" in an acrimonious and threatening letter, the daily newspaper Le Monde reported Friday.

Sarkozy's spokesman, David Martinon, confirmed the French president received a letter from Ahmadinejad on Monday.

But Martinon said he had not read the letter and could not confirm Le Monde's description of its contents. The spokesman said, however, that he had been told that the note "adds nothing to the position already expressed many times by the Iranian authorities."

France, like the United States, suspects that Iran is hiding a nuclear weapons program. Iran insists that it is enriching uranium for civilian purposes only.

In his six months as president, Sarkozy has toughened France's stance on the issue, pushing for more sanctions against Tehran and warning of the risk of war if diplomacy fails.

Le Monde cited unnamed diplomats as saying that Ahmadinejad's letter to Sarkozy contained "veiled threats." He also offered his counsel to the French leader, whom he called inexperienced, the newspaper added.
