When they burned vehicles within sight of the Paris elite, it's now a state of emergency.

Parisians getting their just deserts for generations of elitism and socialism (I know - a contradiction in terms to everyone but Parisians).

But, the good news is that a lot of those burned car owners had insured with "Geico".

Has anyone noticed the rioters aren't reported as looting?

They can't feel too deprived.

The French are so strange.

Now that the rioting is way down, from 300 locations to 226 or so, NOW they declare a state of emergency so they can impose curfews.

Riiiiight.

Seems like everyone just wants to slap down the French on this issue - which is of course easy and fun to do.

The problem however is so deep for them - it has to be appreciated just a little.

The question is - do you let this fire burn itself out and contain it - or - do you attack it, and run the risk of making it flame up even more.

The French have a tough problem here - they are calculating that containment is the course of choice.

Remember - in France - the suburbs are for the poor - the cities are for the wealthy.

We all have to watch this - and hope (despite every emotion) that they can get this under control.

Ugly situation.

Racist "Minutemen" vigilantes....

Oh wait, this is socialist France. Call them 'emergency aid workers'.

"The intensity of this violence is on the way down,"

This is a wonderful strategy the French are following. They've decided to do nothing, and let the riots burn themselves out (pun unintentional). I guess they are following their WWII strategy. "If we just do nothing, maybe they'll all go away". Of course in worked in WWII. I'm just not sure the rest of the world is going to be as willing this time to do their dirty work.

Chirac remained silent until this past Sunday. Now that's leadership!

Not too late for a symbolic gesture that will allow them to take credit for putting out the fire (after all the fuel has been burned).

'Algerian Wars', does that avoid a current pejorative? did they wait too long to resolve this conflict, to reach a 'final solution'?

He said rioting was reported in 226 towns across France, compared to nearly 300 the night before.

"The intensity of this violence is on the way down," ...

Good deduction, based on a sampling with N equal to 1.

What's that arabic word used by the PA to describe a temporary truce, while the "insurgents" continue arming, plotting, building/stocking more incendiary devices... until the next surge of violence? Sounds like there may be some "Hudna" going on here...
