#1 Maybe they won't make the connection until a memeber of the press group is beheaded in public.

#2 I doubt even that would wake them up. Might lead to complete surrender though....

#5 "Bus brûlé" is dessert for the French every night until they decide they really want something else.

#6 "But other rioters are drawn to Islam less as a faith and more as an off-the-shelf oppositional ideology that has replaced Marxism as the intellectual drug of the alienated."

Damn. That one's worth writing down.

#8 The torching of the cars is a plot by Renault and Peugot to manufacture and sell more cars. It's probably not much faster than the french cars fall apart.

#9 So when the Oct. 27 anniversary of last year's violence was met with "only" 277 torched cars, the Interior Ministry declared it "relatively calm."
"ONLY"?? Have we had to lower our standards that much? How sad that this is tolerated, if it's only a few realtively speaking.

What a bunch of crap.

You beat me to it, Barbara.

So when the Oct. 27 anniversary of last year's violence was met with "only" 277 torched cars, the Interior Ministry declared it "relatively calm."

"[O]nly 277 torched cars"?! In any American city this would lead to carbequeing yoots being strung up from lamp posts. Who are the French kidding, besides themselves?

The French press ardently insists there's no link between Islam and the unrest in the streets. But there is a connection, albeit complex, between the rioters and Islam's Jihadi elements.

Again, who are these morons kidding? Is the Eurabia pact so ideologically imbedded that their limp wrists can no longer even connect dots the size of New Hampshire?

It occured to me that only in a socialist hell hole utopia is private property so foreign a concept whereby the destruction of an individual's major asset counts for nothing against appeasing a psychotic ideology that the government is forcibly conjoining with theirs.

Don't forget they executed their King and ended up with an Emperor...

#15 As far as I can recall, the French always alternate governmental forms. Based on precedent, following the fall of the Vth Republic should be either a restored monarchy (not bloody likely, but the decendents fight amongst themselves even yet over who is the crown prince) or a military dictatorship. The Communists must be seriously frustrated, because without Soviet backing there's no way they could become the power they were meant to be.

Just goes to show how enlightened Frogistan has become as compared to us poor benighted colonials.

#18 If they were a decent ally, then I could care but now I couldn't care less. Remember that old joke: Why are there so many tree lined boulevards in Paris? Because the Germans like to march in the shade. Europe, particularly France, is done.
