I am not convinced Iran is seeking to develop nuclear weapons.  

I am convinced there are factions within the US government that wish to attack Iran:

•  to protect Israel (AIPAC, et.al.)

•  so as to establish control over the oil  

•  to greatly reduce the possibility they could develop nuclear weapons in the next 10 years

Sarkozy is providing external and, for all I know, internal support to and for these factions.  By so doing he is raising the probability - however slightly - for an attack by the US on Iran.  Whether he is doing so for (whatever) reasons of his own or whether he is stupid I leave to them who know.  

 

Ever since I learnt about confirmation bias I've started seeing it everywhere
