In other news, the BBC is just reporting that Jean-Jacques Le Chenadec has died. More soon.

Yeah, I remember 20 years ago like it was yesterday. For two weeks, I had nothing to eat but split pea soup. It made me feel like burning up cars. /sarc

Soon the world we know what we've all long suspected; a group of uneducated, untrained heathens could defeat the french militarily with ease.

"It is strictly forbidden for any Muslim... to take part in any action that strikes blindly at private or public property or that could threaten the lives of others,"

Well, isn't that special. I guess if these groups specifically target the property, the persons, then this is just fine . . .

French media report that a man in a coma after an attack on Friday could be the first fatality of the unrest. . . . His widow has been received by Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy.

His widow? Jumping the gun, it appears.

"'It is strictly forbidden for any Muslim... to take part in any action that strikes blindly at private or public property or that could threaten the lives of others,' the fatwa by the Union of Islamic Organisations in France said."

There is always double-talk in any muslim "condemnation" of the actions of muslims: They are not striking blindly!

We will be seeing the same rioting here if we do not snuff out this terrorist organization that masquerades as a religion.

Dear France,

It is obvious to terrorists that since you did not
join the War On Terror, they have found a new home.
Your country.

Enjoy.

Last night on Drudge the Washington Times reports the rioters may have access to heavy arms now including grenades. Here's an excerpt:

PARIS -- Police officers, exhausted and dispirited after 11 nights of street battles, say their mainly young African and Arab adversaries have access to sophisticated weapons including grenades and could soon begin using them.

OK, now she is his widow.

President Jacques Chirac has said restoring order is his top priority.

Well, that's the ticket. Should solve everything!

I'm at a total loss to understand the French government's response to this. No curfew. No police-on-every-corner. The only thing I see them doing is showing up after the fact to put out the fires. In an ironic twist of history, they've gone from "Let them eat cake" to "Let them wear themselves out". Whatta bunch of wusses.

The article actually used the word "muslims". A similar article in my local paper did not once refer to mulims.

Jean-Jacques Le Chenadec, 61, was reportedly struck by a hooded man in the street after he and ...

Can someone in Paris please inform us what this phrase "hooded man" means in this context?

Do they really mean hooded or are they avoiding using the word masked?

Dayum, pretty soon there won't be any cars left in france to burn. Anybody know the gand total since this intafada started?

Where are the French authorities' snipers taking out specifically "hooded" rioters? The probable leadership of the national rot?

President Jacques Chirac has said restoring order is his top priority.

I heard this morning that he's considering actually doing something. I hope he doesn't act too rashly though.
