Chirac Urges Bush to Offer Iran Incentives

[Rose Siding]

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - French President Jacques Chirac said Tuesday he had urged President Bush to help European negotiations to curb Iran's nuclear program by offering incentives on trade and aviation.

"It seems to me legitimate to make a gesture in the area of Iran's bid for WTO membership and wish to buy civil aircraft engines," Chirac told a news conference after talks with Bush on Monday night.

"I don't see why that shouldn't be done and I said so to the president of the United States," he added.

France, Britain and Germany are trying to coax Tehran to end uranium enrichment activities, which Washington says are part of a covert drive to build a bomb.

incentives?

2. Apparently shiploads of Australian/NewZealand lamb is shipped in

to feed 70 Million people. Constant shiploads. Without it the Iranian revolution would happen. Isn't Bush friends with Howard? What? That would interfere with the laws of trade - you say?

Demand and Supply before all else eh?
