This isn't anywhere near as articulate or even tempered as other things I've posted here, but I've been thinking about it all week and wanted to get it off my chest. muslim led violence in france continues. 897 cars burned just Saturday morning over night, just in that one night. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051105/ap_on_re_eu/france_rioting . A nursery was torched, and at least four other french cities have been hit with torched cars, and buildings. And yet, I DO NOT CARE!!!
This is a problem of the french's own making. For years they thumbed their noses at us, bringing in immigrants by the thousands for labor, with their own population aging and decrepit, and NOT requiring the immigrants to merge into their society, so the mostly arab and black muslim influx built their own little sub-culture, matching identically to that which they came from, not integrating at all like french society, like America encourages our immigrants to do. Now the french are paying for their stupidity, just letting anyone come in that wants in. And now they're paying for that stupidity, so let the country burn.
The irony is, france went SO FAR out of their way to oppose us in the war, partially because they had their hand in the cookie jar with hussein, tied up with tens of billions of the oil for food scandal, and partially because the french are simply the most arrogant obnoxious unlikable europeans there are, and they still have delusions that they're a great world power, so they opposed us, siding with the muslim radicals in almost every instance. But the muslims in france don't seem to be giving them any points for that do they?
What's even more ridiculous is that this all stemmed from two teenage muslim boys being electrocuted because they were running from police, who weren't even chasing them. The police were chasing someone else. So I wonder, what would the muslims have done if the french police had actually been chasing those two muslim kids and killed them on purpose? Would there be dead french littering the streets, burning school busses, and would there be a mushroom cloud over the Eiffel tower? Because if this is what the unintegrated muslim populace does responding to an accidental death of just two, I'd hate to see what they'd do if it was an on purpose. Oh well.
Maybe the french will learn something from this. Hopefully they'll learn that when you side with the devil, you will still get burned, and it would be better to listen to us from now on. I doubt it though. france can burn to the ground and it's government collapse for all I care. They are no ally of ours and haven't been for a long time. If we ever send troops there it should be ONLY to protect the cemeteries of our fallen heros on Normandy and other places in france. I just knew a couple years ago when the french opposed us we should have retrieved all the bodies of the fallen WWI and WWII heros and brought them home. They wouldn't want to be buried in the trash heap of France anyway. As far as I'm concerned, the bodies of our fallen dead are the only thing of value in france anyway.
Don't the French know they shouldn't be fighting the rioters. It will only make things worse.
As much as I agree that this is largely a problem of their own making, I would never dream of unearthing the graves of those brave young men who died at Normandy. They died protecting freedom, doing what they loved. I think it would be quite unceremonious to remove them from where they've laid for 60 years, not to mention the cost.
"As far as I'm concerned, the bodies of our fallen dead are the only thing of value in france anyway." I agree with you and also worry that the fanatics will start desecrating the resting places of our brave soldiers, just to provoke the USA into action. Of course, FRANCE won't do anything to stop them. It's a good way for that country to once again stick it to the US. I'm sure they would not pass up the opportunity should it arise.
I'm afraid the muslim terrorists will do just that, dishonor the remains of our heroes, just to get a charge out of the US.
So, if we do act they've won, because we're 'scared' of them, and if we don't they desecrate our heritage. What do we do?
Oh you know, it's easy to say that. NO ONE has any great love for the French, but you know what? We're next. It seems likle rioting is breaking out all over now, and as soon as some idiot starts throwing molotov cocktails in Los Angeles, at a police car, they'll start here.
What are we going to do- wipe out whole neighborhoods? We're next. We're too weak to do what needs to be done.
To avoid duplication, please do not alter the heading, thanks.
we stay armed

I absolutely agree with you particularly since the fellow that provided the Niger yellow cake memo to the Italians, Rocco Martino (ops name Giacomo) was paid by the French....the way I see it, the French tried to set us up and I thought we were allies...silly me. as far as I am concerned Chirac and his government can get stuffed..
The French are, as noted above, overrun by their own ignorance. They have let themselves become one of the largest European havens for militant Islamists and are now reaping what they have sown. I feel for the moderate Muslims, women and children that are trapped in thesse semi-combat zones as they will be the unfortunate recipients of the militants as they always are. However, these moderate Muslims, if there are any there have allowed these militants to overtake their communities and therefore bear a good deal of the blame. The rest falls upon the Frog government. The majority of the French populace is as disgusted with Shit-raq as the rest of us but yet they do nothing about it. In most polls, for whatever those are worth these days, America has a highly favorable rating among the people of France. I agree that the onus of the problem is on the Frog leadership and this could bring about a larger unrest that the gov't is ill-equipped to handle. All of our brave soldiers, sailors and airmen who are interred there must be spinning in their graves......God rest their souls.
That's interesting. Do you have a link for it? Thanks.
I'll see if I can dig one up Monday. I think I found it through HumanEventsOnline, but I'll check.
Which should make it painfully obvious we're not dealing with the sharpest knives in the drawer here. This level of stupidity lays waste all liberal arguments of "We need to establish a dialog with them." In order to establish a dialog, the other side must possess at least some rudimentary form of intelligence.
Maybe France needs to be renamed Frankenstan?
I don't know. The idea of so many brave Americans being buried in a socialistic sess pool like franch who NO LONGER appreciates the ultimate sacrifice made by them, just makes me want to throw up. I would give anything if all the American soldiers, Marines, sailors, and airmen burried in France could be respectfully exumed under honor guard and brought to the States for burial in a nation that appreciates their sacrifice and respects and honors them. I wish we'd of never burried any of our men and women over there in the first place. They deserve better.
