Again: The French are in a moral quagmire of their own. A pack of hoodlum thug Mooslem terrorist wannabes have been rioting for over 11 days now and the French are STILL only THINKING about using the military. But why would they use the military? If they did they would be admitting to the entire world that the military is there to be USED to protect their national security. And in using their own military (against Mooslems) they would be admitting to the entire world that the US was justified in using OUR military to do the same thing: to defend our national security against IslamoFacists. France can burn to the ground for all I care. They will probably be asking the US for our help eventually, anyway. /rant

As much as I lothe them, I don't want France burned to the ground. It would only embolden Islamists ever more. They must be stopped now with a huge show of force. And the French need to do something to incorporate them into French society. It is doubtful that they will have the guts.
