And you may be correct.
I don't personally think courage is a racial thing. The French have had more than their share of humiliating failures...going all the way back to Poitiers and Agincourt. But under the right leadership and for the right cause...well, I guess we're about to see.

While they were rioting around the Convention center in Los Angeles, a few years ago, cause the lakers won, shoving burning trees inside of cars, etc, the reporter announced they were celebrating the victory.
Here let's celebrate, shove a burning tree inside this car...
Heck of celebration. Once third world, always third world.
Kind of a shame on multiculturalism.

flawed integration policies
The French are just so dumb. Pay every immigrant a million dollars each until the country runs out of money.
Then when the next wave of immigrants arrive they can start rioting.
Now there is a sound integration policy. :-)

Well, I am going to have to adjust my thinking--I thought that poverty, racial segregation and government hardliners mistreating people only occurred in the USA.

The French have deveoloped a new battle tank. It has one forward speed and five gears in reverse.There is also a special button that when pushed the tank barrel falls off and a white flag goes up.HA!

Maybe this will turn into Another Viet Nam for France, substituting Paris for Dien Bien Phu.
To: blam
France is really a third-world country, which has been in decline for more than a century and a half. It has been corrupt and in decline for so long that , unlike typical third-world countries, there is little decency or civic virtue in its people.It is being passed by third-world countries moving in the other direction of growth and improvement, including newly free countries in Eastern Europe such as Poland, and large emerging nations such as India.

How many Fenchmen does it take to defend Paris? The world may never know, it's never been done before.

Hell has, indeed, frozen over. Hell, has indeed, frozen over. Hell indeed has frozen over.
Well, one is almost correct?

Third world countries don't produce the art and literature and music and architecture that France produces. Many Englishmen have French blood and many Americans have English and French blood.
I don't disagree that they have drifted away from the swifter currents of life. But maybe this is their chance to regain their confidence.
There are forces at work in France (like Sarkozy) who are strong and courageous.
Perhaps we can say bon voyage to Chirac and Villepin.

The split in Chirac's cabinet is that half want to surrender before eating their cheese and half after.You got my day started off with a grin.
Thanks!
