The government's response would be "firm and fair". All acts of law-breaking were to be severely condemned.If that's firm, God save us from squishy.

Giving a response was a tricky task for a prime minister known for his dashing style but also his record of never having been elected. Never mind the riots and the burnings. Let's get to the really IMPORTANT question. Can de Villepin's political career be saved?

Having mistreated the African immigrants so poorly. Ah, giving them welfare and homes is such poor treatment. This is an assimilation problem and the French government just tipped their hand at their solution. The rest of France must now assimilate to the whim of the Muslim rioter.

The immigrants from N. Africa already get so much welfare that they don't have to work. Imagine: you can live in France, in Paris, and not have to work.
That is why everyone comes there.
They are NOT coming, as in the USA, to find work.
There is no work and so they remain unemployed, but on the public dole.
End the welfare, and no one will want to come.

Guess we worried about the French Commmunists for nothing...

Wow. An affirmative action program. How novel. How effective. How pathetic.

So the French gov't is basically paying tribute to the barbarians, hoping they'll stop breaking things. But didn't we do the same thing after the Rodney King/LA riots?

I have said the same thing. I don't know who to root for. On the one hand France is trying to "France" their way out of this. On the other hand, we don't want to have to go in again and save France from their selfs again. The idea that France will raise taxes to pay for these actions just makes me squirm with glee as they will prove that they are thegutless-socialist-inept-wannabee power sorry country that they are.

The French are on their own.

BBC: You see! Socialism is great and it is going to work, everything is going to be all right. That is right, there is no danger whatsoever that the Muslim rioters will be great recruits for Al Qaeda and Al Jamma Al Musalaha Al Islamic (Islamic Arm Group). France is not at all in danger of being attacked by terrorists. Terrorists do not exist in France because France does not want to hurt them unlike those nasty Americans and their cowboy President who want to kill all the terrorists and by doing so make them more angry.
Extreme sarcasm.

In truth, I like the French much better than the stinkin Algerian bums. But if they keep appeasing, I won't shed a tear when they castrate Chirac and de Villepan and make them wear burkhas!
