The French government under President Nicholas Sarkozy has shifted the country's policies more in line with the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush, who had a frosty relationship with Sarkozy's predecessor, Jacques Chirac, highlighted by France's vocal criticism of the Iraq war.

In a candid interview on French radio last week, Kouchner re-enforced France's tough stance on Iran by declaring his country should prepare for war if Iran obtains nuclear weapons.
