Sarkozy launches 'Club Med' with plea for peace

French President Nicolas Sarkozy urged the disparate and conflicted countries around the Mediterranean Sea today to make peace as European rivals did in the 20th century as he launched an unprecedented Union for the Mediterranean.

“The European and the Mediterranean dreams are inseparable,” he told leaders from more than 40 nations in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. “We will succeed together; we will fail together.”
