One is tempted to suggest that Prime Minister Sharon send a note cautioning Monsieur Chirac about cycles of violence.

Ouch! That'll leave a mark. Funny, I thought schadenfreude was a german word.

Who's fault is it that we have Millions of Uncontrolled illegals crossing an OPEN BORDER, that's what I wonder?

The violence is W's fault. He has angered the good name of Islam and now the West will pay with the blood of our allies. All with the intention to solidify Islam's good name.

*cough*

Chirac must immediately begin following a "Roadmap" to a two-state solution, with eastern Paris becoming the capital of La Republic Islamique, and western Paris being the capital of the French national state.

I'm going to print this out and send it to school with my 15 year old son, who had to sit in class yesterday and watch a film on how great France is and how horrible Bush and the US are. He said the entire film was anti-American and he walked out of the classroom. Before he left he said "I'm not watching this bull Sh*t."
(teacher gave him detention!) She can read this while he sits in detention! By the way, we live in MASS...Liberalism is a prerequisite to getting a teaching job!

the level of social protection is the highest in the world."

It is *precisely* that "level of social protection" that is one of the causes of riots like this.

When you create a society that pays people to breed and have children, but requires no responsibility from those people, and does not require them to work, in a generation you have created a significant minority of savage, amoral males, who welcome violence as a potent way to feel powerful and as an antidote to boredom and irrelevancy.

I'm really surprised that after 8 days of rioting, no U.S. media outlet has been able to get a good close-up shot of the rioters.

I've seen 7 days of blazes and 1 day of cop photos. Hmmm, how puzzling.

Liberalism may not be a prerequisite in having a teaching job everywhere in the U.S., but it certainly is in the college curriculum for education majors. Conservative teachers trying to make inroads in the NEA face incredible opposition. It's very sad.

Ahhhhhhh...it's a plague...millions and millions, and more millions...please, that's hardly rational. Is it bad yes, is it that bad...no.

And, sure, W is partly to blame...and Reagan and Carter, and that moron Clinton, and on, an on, an on...as long as we've had that border...how longs is that, exactly?

Jeeeezzzz...every story these days posted to FR always has the throw down "illegal alien/border" posting. It's old.

I fear it's too late for France. They can apply a few band-aids, but France is mortally wounded. Demographics point to Muslims having the power to control govt. in a few years, so things may simmer along until then, but with foreign mullahs preaching hatred and murder to impressionable 'impoverished youths', I don't think so. Well, no doubt Prince Charles would be delighted to solve the situation. I'm sure he's full of good ideas.

From the full article.........


Car burns in showroom during riots, Aulnay-sous-Bois, near Paris

It's a barely kept secret that Mr. Chirac led the opposition to the Iraq war out of fear of how his Muslim population would react. This fear is a big part of why France portrays itself as America's counterweight and why it criticizes Israel at every turn and coddled the terrorist Yasser Arafat right up to his death. This doesn't elicit thanks from Muslim radicals in France. It turns out to project an image of weakness. Unsurprisingly when faced with some unhappiness they believe they can pressure the French state into submission.

A number of observers of the French scene have looked at population trends and suggested that France is on its way to becoming a Muslim country (one that would, let it be noted, be armed with hydrogen bombs). Some react to this by suggesting a halt to immigration and even expulsion. The better approach is to impose law and order, more speedily to reform the burdensome welfare state, and start integrating the Muslim community. France could also help itself by dispatching troops to help battle the radical Islamists in Iraq, thereby sending a message to Muslims at home and abroad that France is on the side of those Muslims, the majority no doubt, who want to live in peace.
