The Euro is going to plunge 5% next week. Short the forex.

Soros and Buffett will lose a bundle.

Shame.

If that's the case then let the riots continue and continue until they are both broke!

"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."

The old "step on his corns, until he apologizes for puting his toes under your boot" trick.

Reminds of the song, Abdul, The Bulbul Emir"

"You have tread upon the toe of Count Ivan Skavinsky Skavar."

[ Many of them also blame the tough-talking interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, for making matters worse. He has described the rioters as "scum" and threatened to "hose down" the estates to get rid of them. ]

A Frenchman acting tough is just an act...

The incident which triggered France's most violent convulsion for almost 40 years began on the evening of October 27, as police officers approached a group of youths, most of North African descent, returning from a football match. Some of them panicked and ran.

Was it here ?

( Note the link will not work with Netscape 7.x or earlier. )

This is an athletic field in Clichy-sous-bois with high-rises around it. You can see the horrible conditions of living, especially the trees.

This ( I think ) is the Renault dealership that got torched around night 7 - across the street from the big white thing on the corner. Note of course the adjacent high-rises. It's on the corner of Boulevard Marc Chagall and Rue Jacques Duclos. The big white thing is part of Z.I. ( Zone Industrial ) Les Mardelles.

This is the bus depot in Trappes where the 26 buses got burned. I'm very sure of this one because it's in the Z.I. des Bruyeres, which was identified in the French notices of the event. Again, note the adjacent high-rises, which in this case look like a real nice layout.

So, make of it what you will!

"Someone has to say sorry."

But of course. How else could one deal with one so pussified as to be scarred for life on account of dropping one's ice cream scoop on the sidewalk at age 3?

Fruits.

Wake up Bush...

No chance there. He's importing 100,000 alien muslims yearly.
We're on the road to Paris.
