I have no pity left for the French and their post-modernist allies. They are merely reaping what they planted.

[bannie]

;-) Truth is so simple.

Every person in the world 10 years and older knows what response would stop this nonsense immediately, namely, use of deadly force, evictions, and expulsion.

You are right. Unfortunately the "civilized" world won't do this. If it happened here we wouldn't either, at least not our government.

[petercooper]

Can't we all just get along?

Say what you want about Mexicans, they have a hard work ethic and would rather work for $$$ than blow up cars.

Even if the French killed that many rather than arresting them, the Muslims would simply outbreed the casualty rate.

Sounds like the 'Libs', group hugs everyone!

You mean, most of the brave ones died in WW I---and only a few remained who fought hard in WW II? And even most of them are gone?

France's problem from 1870 to 1919 was not lack of courage. Quite the contrary, they elevated "elan" to ridiculous levels over common sense and tactical understanding. They they swung 180 degrees the other way. But the French army at Dienbienphu and in Algeria gave em hell. I'd get in a foxhole with those guys any day.

But it remained unclear what could stop the violence, though some opposition parties have suggested a symbolic measure -- the resignation of Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy.

Identified in other articles as the French Communist Party and the Green Party, which is possibly what Sarkozy is referring to when he says these riots are "organized" -- the commies know how to throw a good riot.

In his book "Death Of The West" Pat Buchannan writes about how Moslem populations will change Western Europe. It is already happening. And Europeans being sheep are too stupid to see what is happening and are trying to appease these Monsters. We can also see what Socialist Policies are doing, making economic failures worse. The Social Welfare policies of France have removed the dignity of work and self determination. Return to a more free Market economy and see the improvement in the lives of their people. France is a mess. Its leaders are corrupt and cowards. Another example of Socialism's failures to deliver the goods.

This is what the Demorats want to bring here to the US. Where are all the Demorats including Misseur Kerry intoning how Wonderful France is? Send in the Legion and crush the Intifida in France.

[Eighth Square]

Amen!

"To those responsible for the violence, I want to say: Be serious ... If you want to live in a fairer, more fraternal society, this is not how to go about it" De Villepin: "I'll make proposals as early as this week," Gotta love that "get tough" attitude. /sarcasm>

What's scary is that this is similar to Clinton's response to the first WTC bombing, etc. and WE ended up with 9/11. At this point, it may be "youths" mostly involved with these riots, but as they have accelerated and grown larger, there is obviously a hand behind it, and you gotta wonder what else is being planned in the shadows.

"Unbelievable. They are inviting far worse as the rioters think they're winning. And they are..."

If I'm following this correctly, the tactics they're using are pretty clever. They firebomb property, but do not kill civilians or police, yet. They are terrorizing the govt. into making concessions. If they begin killing anyone, then the military will come in declare martial law and start shooting them, this way France will surrender to them bit by bit over time thinking its just disaffected utes.

[chris1]

Huh??? I was quaking in my shoes reading that. They are really serious now!

Inside the city, three cars were damaged by fire from gasoline bombs near the Place de la Republique neighborhood, where residents said they heard a loud explosion and saw flames shooting into the sky. Police found a gasoline bomb-making factory in a rundown building in Evry, a southern Paris suburb that contained 150 explosives, more than 100 bottles, gallons of fuel and hoods for hiding rioters' faces, Jean-Marie Huet, a senior Justice Ministry official, said Sunday. THE VIOLENCE: Triggered by an outburst of fury over the accidental electrocution of two teenagers of north African descent, the unrest has taken on unprecedented scope and intensity it started on since Oct. 27. Most rioting has been in towns with large immigrant populations and low-income housing projects where unemployment and distrust of police run high. But on Saturday, arsonists moved beyond their heavily policed neighborhoods to attack others with less security. The number of cars torched overnight - 1,295 across France - was the highest since the violence began

Also last night the LA Times reported that 11 cars were torched near the Gare du Nord(North Train Station).

Republique is to the right of the Louvre and Gare Du Nord is directly north.

Hey France... cry me a river.

You made your bed by allowing the dregs of humanity to pour into your country.

Do not ask for help... do it your damn self.

When they burn 2,000 cars, let hold vigils at the French Embassy and CBS News...
