I read this article.
Sounds like a bunch of drunken, copy-cat students doing idiotic things.
On a side note, I have banned the purchase of all French-made products since the start of the Iraq war - as punishment for France's intransigence.
But now that the new Beajolais' have been released...hmmmm, I may have to reconsider and buy one bottle.
But after that, I'm back on boycott. I promise.
I agree - from reading the article it wasn't the same bunch that fried the outskirts of Paris - but the unenployment across the board in France is very high.
Even the ethnic French are freaking out. They saw two plus weeks of the government's inability to stop riots - what do they have to lose?
We're not buying any French wine till Chirac & de Villepin are out of office.
