The Indians are not producing 1/3 of our new children, you cannot ignore the demographics.

The French military really is a joke, has been for centuries. The French people will have no stomach for a civil war, they will both lose. Large areas of France will fall to Muslim control, nuclear assets will have to be secured by outside forces. This is the coming war in Europe.
Political correctness of the Western Left prevents stopping it while it can be stopped.

Anybody who thinks the Frog armed forces are a joke has not been paying attention. They have "intervened" (without bothering to get UN "permission" I might add...) in several little bits of unpleasantness in Africa and done quite well. Don't underestimate 'em.

Not sticking up for the Froggies but I think the Frenchies would stomach just about anything as far as it has to do with the Islamofacists. They do have one of the harshes anti-terror bill put in place by one of the toughest anti-terror judges around, Jean Louis Bruguiere, and are about to pass an even harsher anti-terror bill come 2007 or sooner.

There is a Paris-based "secretive" alliance task force called "Alliance Base" which is multinational and based out of France - don't know how "secretive" it still is since it made the news - but France was the only country after 9/11 that such a facility could be put in place because of their anti-terror laws.

I don't know what their angle is in the public arena but behind closed doors its a whole different matter.
