Palestine on the Seine?
The historical ironies are just getting to be too much here.
For instance:
Will the French ask Isreal for help in dealing with the New Intifada?
Will the "insurgents" settle for a Two State solution?
Will an Arab country put forward a UN resolution demanding the withdrawl of French forces from "occupied" territories?
The French are paralyzed and the Muzzies know it. If they start shooting junior terrorists, er...I mean kids, there will be an international uproar and the big boys will show up with big bombs to "defend our children". Meanwhile France is being totally humiliated by the "B" team with the pending nightmare of being seen as another Isreal.
Osama and the Mullahs must be ROFL. In their dreams they couldn't imagine it would be this easy.
Here's the point: why should a nuclear armed nation give a damn what the rest of the world thinks? If you have nukes AND the ability to deliver them, screw the rest, do what must be done.
