I lived in Paris for 14 years.
Even in the mid-eighties, French people were telling me that the suburbs ( don't think of them in the same vein as Suburban America) around Paris were a ring of time bombs waiting to explode.
I can't say I am at all surprised. When law and order goes, and lawlessness goes unchecked, anarchy results.
Chirac fiddles, and debates, while Paris burns.
Chirac and the Islamofascist prattle while Paris burns.
Somehow I got a Jimmy Carter flashback when reading that.
France to Let Rioters Govern Themselves
After seven nights of riots by youth in predominantly-Muslim sections of Paris, French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin (who is a man) announced today that police would pull out of areas where dozens of cars burn each night to let the freedom-fighting insurgents govern themselves.
Just like the United States should not force democracy upon Muslims in Iraq, said Mr. de Villepin, we should not impose our own provincial thinking about the so-called rule of law on Muslim immigrants who have established a homeland in Paris.
Were withdrawing our occupation forces immediately.
