UNREST: Although the direct losses due to the riots are relatively small, the collateral damage done to tourism and the country's image could be severe, analysts warn.

Really? The image I have always had of the French was of a bunch of ungrateful, whining, lazy, pompous, self-congratulating, cheese-eating surrender monkeys. You mean it might get worse than that?

Hey, guys, really...Mr. Frenchy Frenchman, you are the ones who double-dealed with Saddam under the table while he was killing innocents and starving his own people. You are the ones who tried to stop the US from punishing Saddam for the same crimes. You are the ones who were so sure that the biggest threat to your country was that big, mean old United States for diluting your Purity Of Essence with hamburgers and Micky Mouse...all the while you invited fanatical towelheads in to fill cheap housing and go on the dole. Could it be that "diversity", the four-day work week, and silly little berets can't protect you from young rioting Muslim punks who you don't have the guts to shoot?
