Frenchie indecision and inaction are now, after 11 nights, sending all the wrong signals, globally. First, it is telling Al Quida that French suburbs are even more primed for more serious ventures than they ever suspected. Second, it is telling similar suburbs across Europe, already Denmark, I don't think Italy (because the Guidos won't put up with this), but soon in many other places, that they cannot expect significant EARLY retaliation. So they have some days grace to do pretty much whatever they want whenever they want.

Many have been noting, and correctly: If Bush acted in anything like this way, European elites and decision-makers would be all over him. The Dems, of course, would promote more striden welfarism as they simply say - as always - that whatever Bush is doing is wrong.

Even if Monday night is quiet, which I doubt, the messages above have been sent. Only a ferocious crackdown would begin to send a very different message, and we have alreadyh seen that Frenchie is hardly going to take this turn at any time.

Paterson, NJ gets my vote as the most likely flash point. A even lower class of vermin seems to have gathered there.

True, the same thing went on in LA, but that was because you saw no cops whatsoever. If you did there would have been a lot of dead looters which to me should have happened considering that they were rioting based on a punk named Rodney King who was high on PCP who drove cops on a 100 MPH car chase then charged cops twice and refused to get on the ground after twice being tased. He even pulled down his pants and told a female cop to kiss is azz. But of course the media only showed the part were he got beat up. The LA looters didn`t like it that the cops beat him up? Tough. The cops had every right to shoot that POS but they didn`t and instead the liberals made him Rodney King millionaire. In France though they were posing in the street doing nothing displaying their unconditional surrender tactic as usual. If the French had any guts they would open fire on these mutts. What these slime have done is declare war on the country of France and the French as usual do nothing. What is it, 11 days now this has been going on? What the hell are they waiting for? Bring in the Army and blow them down to hell with their 72 goat virgins. Guaranteed this is only going to get worse and worse because the French do not know the meaning of the word defense. It confuses them.

Despite the worst destruction since the riots started, a police spokesman called for a sense of proportion: "It's 211 districts out of 36,000, so France is not burning."

That's the spirit! We haven't even begun to surrender!

"a good article"

Agreed. Lays out the roadmap of what the French response will be. Seems accurate.
