Muslims should not be allowed outside of their litter box. Send them all back to the desert.

Sarko gets it.

Unfortunately his countrymen would rather have pensions at age 60, so his days in office are numbered.

And the troublesome ones (which is most of them, it would appear) should receive a good, close shave from France’s “National Razor.”

It can’t happen too soon to suit me!

Arrest 10 to 20 a week but have twice tyo thrice as many on average enter each week.

Simple maths seem beyond the acceptable pale of political dialogue in France.

We should quit sending tons of money to Iran, Iraq,Somalia,Russia,Palestine, etc. and send it to France instead.

They seem to be the only ones to have any Cajones at the moment.

I have never understood why we send any money at all to our enemies. I mean I know 'why' our 'leaders' do it, but I wonder why we accept it?

Exactly.

Great and appropriate term: litter box.

When the French actually do get tough, watch out.

Exactly. Any time the French decide to drop the silliness and do something they do it in a very final way. For instance, what they did to Green Peace when one of the GP ships was protesting France's nuclear weapons tests. Simple solution - send frogmen to sink the ship.

The French also have some anti-terror rules that are almost draconian and would never be acceptable in most of the Western world (e.g. comparing French and British anti-terror rules is a laughable exercise).

Because we've been conditioned well?
