Yes. That's why Napoleon III 'bulldozed' the small streets and built large wide avenues. You cannot so easily barricade a wide boulevard.
Baron Georges Eugene Haussmann (1809-1892) was appointed by Napoleon III on June 22, 1853 to "modernize" Paris. In this way, Napoleon III hoped to better control the flow of traffic, encourage economic growth, and make the city "revolution-proof" by making it harder to build barricades. Haussmann accomplished all this by tearing up many of the old, twisting streets and dilapidated apartment houses, and replacing them with the wide, tree-lined boulevards and expansive gardens which Paris is famous for today.

Pournelle's all-too-oft-used comment, that is somewhat similar, is:
"Liberalism is a philosophy of consolation for Western Civilization as it commits suicide."
Good Steyn piece.
Steyn has the uncanny ability to say things that should have been blindingly obvious to everyone -- but which are obvious only after he has said them.
I've lost count of the number of times while reading his essays that I've smacked my forehead and gone, "of course! Why didn't I realize that earlier?"

Wow, thanks for that link in #17, FRiend. LOTS of shouts of "Allahu Akbar"... no doubt about that. Is the newscast in Flemish? I understand "Allah is groot" but what are they saying about Sarkozy... "Sarkozy is een klootznak"?
NORMANDY!! NOR MAN DEE
(from the longesty day,when Rommel was told,and was shocked)
Check out the video link in #17. Move the slider up to fast forward the video. About 1/3 of the way in, you can clearly hear the French "youths" shouting "Allahu Akbar" numerous times as they're running around in the dark rioting and setting things on fire.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

OFFICER KRUPKE(West Side Story)
ACTION: See, those cops, they believe everythin’ they read in the papers about us cruddy JD’s. So, that’s what we give ‘em … somethin’ to believe in.
SNOWBOY (as Officer Krupke): Hey, you!
ACTION: Who, me, Officer Krupke?
SNOWBOY: Yeah, you! Give me one good reason for not draggin’ you down to the stationhouse, ya punk!
ACTION: Dear kindly Sergeant Krupke, ya gotta understand, it’s just our bringing-upke that gets us out of hand. Our mothers all are junkies, our fathers all are drunks: golly Moses, naturally we’re punks.
JETS: Gee, Officer Krupke, we’re very upset. We never had the love that every child ought to get. We ain’t no delinquents, we’re misunderstood. Deep down inside us there is good.
ACTION: There is good!
JETS: There is good, there is good, there is untapped good; like, inside the worst of us is good.
SNOWBOY: That’s a touchin’ good story.
ACTION: Let me tell it to the world!
SNOWBOY: Just tell it to the judge!
ACTION: Dear kindly Judge, Your Honor: my parents treat me rough. With all their marijuana, they won’t give me a puff. They didn’t want to have me, but somehow I was had: leapin’ lizards, that’s why I’m so bad.
JUDGE: Right! Officer Krupke, you’re really a square. This boy don’t need a judge, he needs an analyst’s care. It’s just his neuroses that ought to be curbed. He’s psychologically disturbed!
ACTION: I’m disturbed!
JETS: We’re disturbed, we’re disturbed, we’re the most disturbed; like, we’re psychologically disturbed!
JUDGE: Hear ye, hear ye: in the opinion of this court, this child is depraved on account he ain’t had a normal home.
ACTION: Hey, I’m depraved on account of I’m deprived!
JUDGE: So, take him to a head-shrinker.
ACTION: My daddy beats my mommy. My mommy clobbers me. My grandpa is a commie. My grandma pushes tea. My sister wears a moustache. My brother wears a dress. Goodness gracious, that’s why I’m a mess.
HEAD-SHRINKER: Yes! Officer Krupke, he shouldn’t be here. This boy don’t need a couch, he needs a useful career. Society’s played him a terrible trick, and, sociologically, he’s sick.
ACTION: I am sick!
JETS: We are sick, we are sick, we are sick sick sick; like, we’re sociologically sick!
HEAD-SHRINKER: In my opinion, this child does not need to have his head shrunk at all. Juvenile delinquency is purely a social disease.
ACTION: Hey, I’ve got a social disease!
HEAD-SHRINKER: So take him to a social worker.
ACTION: Dear kindly social worker, they tell me get a job; like be a soda-jerker, which means like be a slob. It’s not I’m anti-social, I’m only anti-work; glorie-osky, that’s why I’m a jerk!
SOCIAL WORKER: Yechh! Officer Krupke, you’ve done it again! This boy don’t need a job, he needs a year in the pen. It ain’t just a question of misunderstood: deep down inside him, he’s no good!
ACTION: I’m no good!
JETS: We’re no good, we’re no good, we’re no earthly good; like the best of us is no damn good!
JUDGE: The trouble is he’s lazy!
HEAD-SHRINKER: The trouble is he drinks!
SOCIAL WORKER: The trouble is he’s crazy!
JUDGE: The trouble is he stinks!
HEAD-SHRINKER: The trouble is he’s growing!
SOCIAL WORKER: The trouble is he’s grown!
ALL: Krupke, we’ve got troubles of our own!
JETS: Officer Krupke, we’re down on our knees …
ACTION: … ‘cause no one wants a fella with a social disease!
JETS: Hey, Officer Krupke, what are we to do?
Gee, Officer Krupke, krup you!
see #94 .. West Eid Story ...
Ya know, there is a great theme in there for a twisted version of Paul Harvey's "rest of the story" style of reporting. I wish my writing skills were up to the challenge. ;)
French youths? Yeah right... just a bunch of terrorists.
I'm not really a big Michael Savage fan, but I heard a few minutes of his radio show tonight. He ran an amazing montage of audio clips from the MSM from all over the English-speaking world. Yep, you guessed it: Just about all of the reporters referred to these French terrorists/thugs/scumbags as "youths" or "poor minorities".
Thanks for the ping, Pokey!
This kind of talk is what embolden the so-called youths; but as Albert Einstein said, "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
