yeah but only until the National Guard was called in and you can believe it would happen too.

Honestly the French are between a rock and a hard place. Their police are having problems stopping the riot and their military is a mess and has no recent history of doing ANYTHING right....

I don't think too many Americans will allow people to run down the street burning their cars. We will shoot them.

Wait, remember in 1985 when a French Navy commando team sank the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior while her crew was protesting French nuclear tests in the Pacific. What a victory! Vive La France! (massive sarcasm alert)

"The french are between a rock and a hard place."Their military is also approx %25 muslim.I'll bet the police have an equal percentage of m's.That could present a BIG problem.How would the french military act if they were ordered into the "suburbs"?Could an officer rely on his subordinates to follow orders?
