#1 Hey, this is a surprizing article; I think it is the first time ever I've read about the new FN's strategy in english.

It's true the "strategic advisers" are straying the FN toward a direction not many would have thought possible (though pépé Le Pen always had a real following among french arabs, harkis, of course, but also fed-up "normal" muslims angry at their carBBQers fellows, and also antisemite-driven arab voters... it was said that in the mid/late 80's, the FN received money from iran)... you've got Marine Le Pen, her daddy's daughter, who convince him to claim the Republican mantle (barf), you got his consigliere Martinez who writes a books praying the arab rappers are proponents of the french language, and advising an alliance with the antiglobos to fight the Empire,... still, the National Right is trying to unite, though everybody's pulling the cover to keep his little piece of the action.

My guess for the 2007 presidential election is the socialist winning, possibly against Le Pen again, who knows?

Anyway, the System is locked. Nothing will ever change, at least at long as it remains sutainable. If there is a krach or something, then it will fall, since it is built on socialist redistribution (aka welfare State), and then, all bets are off. I think the president elected in 2007 will be the last of the Vth.

#2 The French far left has also gone fishing in these troubled Islamic waters. One new leftist political star is Dieudonne M'Bala M'Bala, a hugely popular black comedian who appears to be a Gallic Louis Farrakhan. He dismisses civic educational programs about the Holocaust as "memory pornography." He was recently fined 5,000 Euros for comparing Jews to slave-traders. In a television sketch, he gave a Nazi salute while dressed as an orthodox Jew to denounce what he saw as "fascist Israeli policies."

This is what we have to look forward to if the Dems take the Senate and the house. The anti-semitism among the far left is becoming shocking over here as well. It's still covered in polite term, but that pot is sitting right at 99C (211F). I really hope that the Jewish community understands the threat bubbling up from the left and will vote accordingly.

#3 Every day, when I get up I thank god (or shimon Peres, your choice)about Israel's tactical Nuke arsenal.
IMHO, we are quite close to the moment that we will have to use some of it on a European country (France is my favorite bet) as a purely defensive act.
If you would have told me this fifteen years ago i would have suggested that you get as mental checkup. Now, I think if the US attacks Iran and the Hizbollah try to give us trouble up north, we will attack. The french generals at Unifil will try to prevent the IDF from attacking the Hizzbos and we will have to make minced meat of them.. The french will then call in the Charle DeGaule thingy and we will have to sink it. From there its all downslope.

#4 You think that when for the first time in almost 100 years the French chose to put up an effective fight it will be against Israel? I doubt it. Give them a day's notice and they're out of Dodge or turned sideways.

#5 E of Z,
I believe Al-Chiraq and Koffee thought if they inserted French troops as a "barrier", then the IDF would not dare try to invade Leb territory again. Ha. As you say, French would get chopped up before they high-tailed it out. But, unlike you, I doubt that French would have a will to respond. They seem to be hollowed out. Even A5089 apparently views the internal situation as hopeless. I have to hope he's wrong. But until the internal mood and situation within France changes course and unites in action, I believe France is merely a barking Chiuahua and has no will for any real response.

#6 NS and SpecOp35,
maybe I got carried away and overestimated the deep rooted french antisemitism as possibly leading to action.
However, it never hurts to be prepared.

#7 I had an exchange early this morning about Isreal with some folks here in the internet, these were US citizens, they were all for letting the arabs kill the jews, totally disgusting, these people seem normal otherwise. We have trouble right here in the US of A, trouble that you will not read about or see in the our own press. Made it hard to get a good 8 hours of sleep after than.

I have given up on Europe after the encounters I have had with "europeans", they are only agianst "the empire of the US of A" and not for anything. When you ask them where this empire is they can't point to any place but they know it exists.

Sort of like every anti-American ideology. They can't give you concrete examples of why they hate us, they just do.

#9 When you have low self-esteem you tend to look at others as your problem. My vote is that the next time Germany holds War Games in France, leave them alone!

#11 The French elites can do the math. They know where their future lies.

#12 EoZ, I can see why you look at it the way you do and I might too, in your shoes, but In mine I'd bet on French discretion beating anti-Semitism.
