``The law must be applied firmly and in a spirit of dialogue and respect,'' Chirac said

From the school of Jimmy Carter. In other words...do nothing.

Chirac had better do something before this mess makes LePen
look good. Does Jacques need Viagra or Levitra for his
"firm response?"

These riots were as spontaneous as the Senate's closed door session.

Maybe the young men were really attempting to illegally tap the power lines like folks have done in Tamil Nadu.

Tamil Nadu - Chennai    Illegal power tapping causes havoc

French President Jacques Chirac, intervening after six nights of rioting in suburban Paris...

Ol' Jacques must have attended the same governance classes as Kathleen Blanco...

Exactly what I would have said if I had gotten up earlier. I don't get it... what's the beef? Just another reason to riot.

"Once again the French use the appeasement approach to no avail. "

AND when things get really out of hand, they will be calling for the United States to bail them out -- yet again!

We must try to understand why the Muslims hate the French so much.

LOL.

I can understand why Americans hate the French, I can understand why the British hate the French, but I refuse to understand why the Muslims hate the French.

One out of every two babies born in France is Muslim. Consider this little riot the trailer for the feature film.

*L* Love the pic. Reminds me of a joke a military buddy of mine told me:

Why are the streets of Paris tree-lined?
Because Germans like to march in the shade.

So why are they cutting them down?
Because Muslims like to march in the sun.

A complete French withdrawl from Francistan.

"No self-respecting cheese eating surrender monkey would ever talk or think that way."

I was remarking how this is the beginning of the end in France, when another poster made a valid point. Liberals are very slow to act, and will cling hard to their PC. However, if it becomes clear to the Libs that they are threatened, no one is more vicious, or brutal.

Should be interesting.

"Firm Response:

Extra starch in the white flags."

Now don't make me laugh out loud in my cube!
Nice.
