Is Paris burning? *\;-|
(I find this sad. I have a few French friends and though I slip into it a bit from time to time on FR, I don't like bashing the French. Hey, even if they got everything else wrong, which they haven't, they figured out that nuclear power is the way to go and have done a good job of it -- ~75% of their electricity.)
Paris proper, isn't burning -- yet. But automobiles are in grave danger of being torched, a couple thousand of them having been set afire during this unrest, which has now spread to Belguim, Denmark and Germany.
To top it, the Aussies, it seems, have just managed to put the clamps on a planned acts of terrorism in Sydney and Melbourne.
This cauldron's coming to a rolling boil, my friend, and the free world had better not shrink from using whatever means may be necessary to douse the fire before it boils over.
