do not overlook belgium and e netherlands
Why is that Dominique, you can't find Bin Laden in your neighborhood either?
This guy's a total fool to think this just sprung up all by itself at the end of Ramadan. The Aussies break up a cell, the US catches three on the border and hides it, The Jordanians get hit, and this is just a "Civil Disorder" Dominique?

It's interesting that the mainstream media, for the first time in history, are blaming the French instead of Americans.
I'm sure in WWII, as the German's were streaming across the border, the French were saying, "Don't call them Nazi's, you might make them mad."
Personally, I think that if they are still experiencing this exceptional level of violence (400+ cars burned last night down from 1,400 on Saturday) that it may not be that there's a dropped in violence but a change in the priorities of targets. I've read the reports of weapons caches being discovered around the outskirts of Paris as have many FReepers.
If there's still a group committed to violence, even though it's reduced some in number (or there's less cars to burn) it may signal change in how the violence manifests.
Eternal vigilance! Oh wait, this is france. Garcon, one more demitasse!
All these curfews and half measures are going to accomplish is to make the rioters now be more selective with their targeting. They can't indiscriminately burn everything in sight anymore, so they'll sit back for awhile until they can identify something that will likely be a larger target and provide more in the shock value department.
As someone so aptly put it last night..........the real problem for the French is that they can't find anyone in authority to surrender to.
