It's time for the "front-line" states of the U.S., Britain, Germany and Italy, along with the U.N., of course, to put pressure on France to recognize the legitimate aspirations of the Muslim people. War is not the answer. The French must negotiate. Of course, the French will have to end the "occupation" of the Muslim suburbs and give them their own state. The French must change from the unjust "French model" economy that has left so many Muslims in poverty and unemployed to the British and American model. Chirac is a maniacal cowboy who must stop acting unilaterally and must listen to the international community. Perhaps Jimmy Carter could mediate to bring about a "just peace."
(I'm enjoying this way more than I should.)
