Good post. According to the latest this violence is spreading virtually nationwide. YOu would think Chirac and company would realize they are way past the point of having a dialogue with these thugs.

Thanks for finding this. It will make interesting dinner conversation with my German (US citizen now) girlfriend who thinks that Europe has less problems than the U.S.
I know - "why date a European socialist"? All I can say is conversion is a slow process - but in this case worth the effort!

YOu would think Chirac and company would realize they are way past the point of having a dialogue with these thugs. Chirac could care spit for these people. He is making a political point and powerplay. If these folks burn down their cities, he can blame it on someone else. There is no chance of these folks marching into Paris and seizing power. It simply is an inconvenience for the political elite.

Actually Dominique de Villepin is supposedly a man. But who can tell?

Y'all should visit the other thread about the President sending his happy EID greetings. A couple of anti-israel pro-moslems are having a good time. Hey, it's all ok. Just thought you may find it interesting.

France = Democrat plan for America = appeasement that does not work. Frankly, I'm not surprised.

Was this Belgian publication respresentative of a conservative viewpoint? If so, interesting.
Back in 2000 I took my family by hoovercraft from UK to Calais. We were hungry when we arrived in France, so I drove all the way to Brugge Belgium to eat.
When our two young sons asked why we couldn't eat in France, I told them about not letting our planes over-fly on the way to Libya, and how none of us would spend one dime in France.

Thx for the ping FD.
France won't fall, tho. She has 350 nuclear warheads and nuclear power plants.
My hope is that Chirac will turn to Sarkozy and turn him loose. It is very interesting that the rioters are quite linear in their approach. So far they are just burning things. When they get around to killing or if the riots move out of the ghettos and into Paris proper, Sarkozi will get his chance, IMO.
Every day that the rioting continues, the French slide further to the right on the political spectrum.

When we were in Paris, we were shocked to find out that you could only eat at certain times in a public eatery. They truly are lazy people who despise Americans.
