PARIS, France -- French President Jacques Chirac has called for calm and warned of a "dangerous situation" following a sixth night of violence in poor Paris suburbs.
"The law must be applied firmly and in a spirit of dialogue and respect," Chirac told a Cabinet meeting Wednesday. "The absence of dialogue and an escalation of a lack of respect will lead to a dangerous situation."
"Zones without law cannot exist in the republic," Chirac said. His remarks were passed on to reporters by government spokesman Jean-Francois Cope.
The spokesman said Chirac acknowledged the "profound frustrations" of troubled neighborhoods but said violence was not the answer and that efforts must be stepped up to combat it, The Associated Press reported.
The unrest, triggered last week by the deaths of two teenagers, spread Tuesday night to at least nine towns in the suburbs north and northeast of Paris as police clashed with angry youths and dozens of vehicles were set on fire

Go on, Chirac. Give them your ANGRIEST look.
Fat chance!
The French will wake up soon to the threat within, hopefully it is not too late.

Will they? They were stupid enough to let these troublemakers in, now they are paying for it.
Speak for yourself. ;^)
Wake me up when he surrenders.
Paris burns -- and Denmark.
White flag time, Jacques.
Chirac. the only thing those islamofacists will understand is a shoot to kill order that is swiftly executed. Otherwise you will lose control of your country forever.
This is a pinnacle of power for Europeans. Do they have the will to make a stand?
WOW, a few touchy feely words and Chirac thinks the riots will end.
Send in Inspector Clouseau..
Having visited France recently, I can attest to the fact that more and more of the common folk are starting to see that America is not the enemy, but that Chirac and his minions have surrendered their country without firing a shot. The reason islam has been so radicalized in Europe and not the US is that the Europeans, for all their righteous comments, are basically racists, americans are not. The immigrants from former french colonoes like algeria have been segregated in slums, been givne generous welfare benefits, and been allowed to breed like rats. In the US, muslims are mostly productive members of our society, and have asssimilated much more into the fabric of our culture. We are the melting pot of the world, the french are merely the loudmouth bigots of the world, and the difference between our countries has never been more evident than in this situation.
Prediction: Some high-falootin rootin-tootin will get canned in an attempt to placate the rioters. The French media is already fingering one guy for blame.
The MSM moonbats are Jihad conspirators. Its part of their fantasy world where the evil West is defeated and the the thousand year reign of liberal goodness takes over.
We better be worried about our own stupidity.

Absolutely. Washington has a real affinity toward undesirables being allowed to enter our country. The buck stops at the responsibility for our borders ---
"French President Jacques Chirac has called for calm and warned of a "dangerous situation" following a sixth night of violence in poor Paris suburbs."
I can't help but find humor in this phrase.
It's like during a dry season in kansas having the governor say "What we need now is water."
Like you said send in Clouseau, prollem is, I think he's already there, "calling for calm". . .during a riot.
"Remain calm....all is well."
