Yesterday, Michel Pajon, the mayor of Noisy-le-Grand near Paris, asked for the French army to intervene and stop the violence which is taking over France. The mayor – a Socialist – went on French radio to say that what is happening in his country is absolutely appalling:
“Women have been made to stop on the streets of my town. They were dragged from their cars by their hair, they were practically stoned and their cars were set ablaze... The situation is absolutely dramatic and inacceptable. This is a real scandal. I sound the alarm bell in my town. If the state is incapable of defending us, we will have no choice but to defend ourselves. My town has a psychiatric hospital which has been attacked with molotov cocktails. This is beyond comprehension. I have never seen anything like this in my entire life. I do not ask for the resignation of the Interior Minister [Nicolas Sarkozy]. I want him to do his job. At the moment he is not doing his job.
Send in the army? I do not know, for a socialist to say that the army has to intervene is an inconceivable admission of defeat, but what I can say is that one cannot abandon the people like this. At some point we need to know whether this country still has a state.”

Thanks - it seems that at least some of the French are finally getting their fill of all this - bring out the pitch-forks...
Fine by me. Islam can have France. France is more dangerous as an ally than as an enemy.
My favorite quote was his statement that, as a socialist, calling in the army would be an admission of failure. I get the sense that he knows it is not an admission of tacical or even strategic failure - rather an admission of moral and ideological failure, failure of galactic proportions. I think the poor mayor is beginning to glimpse the truth. In fact, the whole of the intellectual leftist elite of western europe may be beginning to glimpse the truth. And, most horrifying for them, they may be realizing that they are catching a first glimpse after it is already too late.
Failure of his multi-culti, diversity-is-our-strength, PC Uber Alles world view.

The Iraqis have their own state and their own constitution. Perhaps the fueligans are jealous.
