33,000 cars have been torched in riots in France so far this year...about 100 each night.
The news media thinks that this has only been going on since Ramadan, though...
In the meantime, Suha Arafat says nothing...Makes no calls for a letup.

PARIS Nov 7, 2005 — France will impose curfews under a state-of-emergency law and call up police reservists to stop rioting that has spread out of Paris' suburbs and into nearly 300 cities and towns across the country, the prime minister said Monday, calling a return to order "our No. 1 responsibility."

Good idea. Clinton did it, maybe we should try it also.
I wonder if there's a TV set in hell where Hitler and Goebbels and Goering can watch what's going on up here on Earth. They're probably saying, "Finally, Paris IS burning!"

Yeah, those "temporary detainments" can sure louse up your dinner plans.
Nah, the French would just give them a stern talking-to.
