A bomb containing several detonators has been found on a French rail line linking Paris to Basel, in Switzerland, according to police.

The device "strongly resembled" a previous bomb planted by a shadowy group calling itself AZF which has threatened to blow up parts of France's rail network unless it is paid millions of euros, police said.

White, so they can be waved as a surrender flag if necessary.

That's impossible. Europeans know that appeasement will fend off any terrorist attack. Just ask the Spaniards.

There is no limit to the radical Muslim appetite. Anyone who does not submit entirely will eventually have to fight.

The WSJ has an editorial this morning, warning that any thinking that terrorism is the other guy's problem is a recipe for disaster.

"Had we not supported the United States, we would have never experienced this sort of internal terrorism..."

"Wait, we did not support the US. I wonder why anyone would want to blow up a French train?"

They, the French, just dont get it do they?
