German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle on Friday criticized French President Nicolas Sarkozy for threatening that the military response to Libya would also be applied, if necessary, to other Arab leaders, dpa reported.
"I think this really is a very dangerous discussion, with very difficult consequences for the region and the Arab world as a whole," Westerwelle told RBB public radio.
Earlier, Sarkozy had said, "Every ruler must understand, and especially every Arab ruler, that the reaction by the international community and Europe will always be the same from now on."
