Ah... the utter arrogance and delusions of the French. The French are very delusional about their own power and importance in the world. They really do believe that they are a power to be reckoned with on economic, militarily, and technological levels, which is of course a very bad joke that everyone in the world knows it except the French themselves.
Interesting, I read an article in the WSJ saying there was no affect on tourism.
No surprise. The French government's policy is to appease, do nothing to stop the stone and firebomb throwers.
Just have the fire brigade put out the fires and show a lot of hosing on TV.
When the French police are told by the French government to protect French private property and citizens, I'll think about travelling to Paris again.
Here again, PC has hurt normal people.
France has alway had a problem telling the truth.
Nonsense! It will do wonders for their automobile industry. And windshield repairmen!
