Think of the global warming effects alone. How will France be able to meet the Koyoto Agreement?

"Gangs of youths were once again on the rampage "

They still can't bring themselves to call an islamofascist an islamofascist. Or even a muslim.

Looks like repression might be necessary in the short term. Long term, though, France needs to address its structural problems and decide to either be capitalist or not. These half-measures since WW II have allowed this situation to exist. They need to revise their subdivision procedures and business registration laws.

The French let millions of Islamic barbarians into their country, being too stupid to realize that this is like inviting cancer into your body.

France will perish.

The french libs thought they had things under control. Our Libs could learn a few lessons from this if they were capable of introspection.

Despite a string of emergency meetings...

Government reaction to any situation. Have a meeting. Maybe if they really get serious they will form a committee.

"He's disrespected us, which is a declaration of war," one young man told the Sunday Telegraph as he surveyed one of Clichy's housing estates that was dotted with piles of ash and broken glass. "Those guys, our friends, died for nothing and we're being dissed. Someone has to say sorry."

This is the lexicon of losers. Whenever I hear these words and phrases, repeated almost verbatim, I can rely absolutely and invariably that it came from a tribal African or muslim cultural mentality.

Regardless of where on earth it is uttered.

Eventually it needs to be eradicated, or the entire world must embrace it. There is no accomodation possible. Not in the reality that I inhabit.

I did a double take that this swill was coming from the Telegraph, a supposedly conservative paper. It was written more like the AP.

A country in flames… French cities teeter on the edge of anarchy...Yet while the violence has dominated French media all week, most citizens are otherwise unaffected by the tumult

Could we have a little tabloid journalism here, a little sensationalist exageration?

What do decades of idle submission and spineless obeisance under the guise of tolerance reap?

I'm shocked! Shocked I tell ya! After glorifying revolutionaries all over the world for decades the French are suddenly going to take a hard line when the feces hits the fan in their own country.

Things must be escalating. The other day they said "the worst riots in 10 years." Now they say "the worst since 1968."
