How long before the French sign a surrender??? Should not be too long. The cowardly French have no idea how to protect their country -- they had better start handing out white flags to the so-called police.

Yes, reforms can be instituted. More movie theaters! Just make sure that they don't play cheezy movies, or they'll start rioting again. I wonder if the LA Times has an experience with "community policing". France is on the slow road to hell.

[French police] rookies find themselves stuck in a harrowing job in an expensive region. They are often scared and bewildered by the mosaic of cultures in the projects: African women in colorful tribal robes, aging bearded Algerians in Islamic garb, defiant second- and third-generation youths in hip-hop regalia. Sounds like New York City.
Accentuating French racism won't help.

An article pretty sympathetic to the Police, pretty amazing from the LA Times.
If anyone has problems accessing the second page, I was asked for registration info, click the "single page" option, it will allow you to read the whole piece.

A few more weeks, and I might actually consider purchasing a copy of that newspaper. It is almost like management is committed to make it less like a radical college rag.

The information flows fast on Fridays, commanders in one big city have on their desk by afternoon the content of sermons from noon prayers at every known mosque in their region.Very interesting.

Their methods are a curious mix of open and covert. They use a vast network of wiretaps. They cultivate informants by offering legal favors, money, immigration papers. The information flows fast on Fridays, commanders in one big city have on their desk by afternoon the content of sermons from noon prayers at every known mosque in their region.A most encouraging means of identifying the enemy, and admirable.
But pretty much useless unless clear, uncompromising and swift steps are taken to eliminate the rabble rousers in the mosques, once identified.
I hope even the French can see the difference between "freedom of speech" and treason or sedition, particularly by foreign nationals.
