"And Chirac and the leftists smile, sip their wine, and watch..."

The unholy alliance would be happy if all the opposition were taken out..

[Cicero]

Wasn't Chirac among those who criticized Bush for not doing more to help in New Orleans?

He seems to be completely paralyzed, or to consider the whole affair beneath his dignity. Even Kathleen Blanco was more useful than that.

[austinaero]

He's not paralyzed. He just doesn't give a damn.

[sageb1]

Chirac is not paralyzed. He wants Sarkozy out, as does Villipin. Chirac is deliberately not doing anything.

[elli1]

Chirac has not publicly addressed the crisis since it began...

could it actually be that the French are guilty of crimes they claim only happen in the United States?

I was speaking to a Spaniard once who started lecturing me on the injustice and racism in America and I asked him if he would let a gypsy marry his daughter. He stopped, stunned, and said no, of course not. When asked how he was more enlightened he said "Well, it's different. Those people steal!"

So you see, in the minds of the euros, we are bad people because (they feel) we opress blacks, but they arent bad for opressing gypsies or muslims because those are merely lower classes. To them this makes perfect sense and pointing out the hypocritical nature of it is pointless, they cant see it.

I was thinking the same thing, as I watched footage of "youths" throwing rocks at an occupied city bus and then sauntering away, with all the time in the world. It's obvious they have no fear of the citizens of their particular suburbs.

I wonder what would happen to their leisurely punk-walk if a bus passenger had leaned out the window and started firing?

[FunkyChicken]

What if the French government gave the Muslims some free French wine, cheese, and hash? That might calm them down a bit until the smoke clears from their heads.

Let's play this like Israel does. Give the Muslims some French land and there will be peace - piece by piece.

We need to get French nukes out of their hands.

Dead reckoning.  Be afraid.

News Flash for Canada... Take a look at France and Spain, you folks may be next.

There are a few differences. First of all, I don't know what the percentage of Muslims is in Canada, but it can't be anywhere near the 10-20% it is for France. This indicates it is just a few percent "Statistics Canada reports that 253,260 Canadians identified themselves as Muslims (0.9% of the total population) during the 1991 census. Some estimated that there were as many as 500,000 Muslims in Canada. Today (.2001) there are an estimated 650,000 Muslims in Canada. "

Also, there are comparatively few North Africans, which to my mind are the worst of the worst. Most of the Muslims in Canada are Pakistani,Iranian or Arab - Lebanese, etc., who assimilate much better than the Moroccans or Algerians.

If your reference to Spain refers to terrorist acts, yes Canada is on the Al Qaeda list and they will take place.

[FairOpinion]

This is a most accurate and appropriate depiction of the situation in France.

police and government officials struggled unsuccessfully for the 10th day to stem the expanding unrest...President Jacques Chirac maintained his silence.

Chirac is useless, as even he doesn't take his own words seriously. Almost 9 years ago, when vehicles were being burned by mooligans, Chirac said, "There is too much violence in our country, too much insecurity - in the schools, on public transport. Every day new limits are broken beyond which our society will disintegrate."

Where's Janet Reno when you really need her?

[syriacus]

frogs in the pot

Exactly.

[Hawk1976]

I agree the French must get out of the occupied Muslim lands and cede territory for a two state solution. </sarc>

[solitas]

It's obvious they have no fear of the citizens of their particular suburbs.

Y'mean a lot like the urban thugs we have today?

I wonder what would happen to their leisurely punk-walk if a bus passenger had leaned out the window and started firing?

Simple: the judicial system would do everything intheir power to crucify the shooter and then make him pay the thrower. You just know that's what would happen.

[Whitewasher]

Will Chirac's and de Villepin's heads roll for this, or are the French completely neutered? Never mind.

[dervish]

Thanks for the link. Ferguson is an interesting writer. I don't always agree, but he always makes me think.

I have the same take as you on Sarkozy. He had his legs cut out from under by the appeaser crowd ruling France.
