In light of your mention of the US war dead in resting in France, I thought that this observation from Hugh Fitzgerald's article on the long-gone French Algeria ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1517782/posts ): "The French cemeteries all over Algeria have been vandalized; the tombstones taken, the bones unearthed and thrown about -- they are, after all, merely the remains of Infidels, and deserve no respect."
Civil Unrest in France Enters 12th Night -- The WIkipedia article has a table of the number of cars burned each day. Rush suggested today that conservatives monitor this figure in the same way that liberals are monitoring deaths in Iraq.
