"But a talented ambitious Chinese or Indian or Chilean has zero reason to emigrate to France, unless he is consumed by a perverse fantasy of living in a segregated society that artificially constrains his economic opportunities yet imposes confiscatory taxation on him in order to support an ancien regime of indolent geriatrics."

Zing!

That's got to leave a mark. I wish I had 1% of this man's wit.

Mark Steyn for President! (We need someone who can tell it the way it is and stop being so easily pushed by the left!)

"Politics in France is heading to the Right and I don't want Right-wing politicians back in second or even first place because we showed burning cars on television."

If you don't like French conservatives in power, wait till you get a load of Muslim conservatives in power. Fact of the matter is, within the next 20 years you're getting one or the other.

they were "united in sorrow" - i.e. enervated in passivity. Instead of wishing death on the perpetrators

It took a few months after 9/11 for yellow ribbons to come out and begin displacing the American flag, but it happened nonetheless.  So far, we haven't yearned our way to victory,  but at least we suppressed those tacky pictures of bodies falling from the Trade towers and other things that might have kept us outraged and supporting the war.

"If there's three, four or more cultures, you can all hold hands and sing We are the World. But if there's just two - you and the other - that's generally more fractious."


Let's start a Mexico-to-Europe trans-oceanic migration route.

I love reading Steyn, but he makes me break out in a cold sweat nearly every time I do!

If Iraq's an entirely artificial entity, what do you call a state split between gay drugged-up red-light whatever's-your-bag Dutchmen and anti-gay anti-whoring anti-everything-you-dig Muslims? If Kurdistan doesn't belong in Iraq, does Pornostan belong in the Islamic Republic of Holland

That really paints a picture, doesn't it ?

France faces tough choices and, unlike Baghdad, in Paris you can't even talk about them honestly. As Jean-Claude Dassier, director-general of the French news station LCI, told a broadcasters' conference in Amsterdam, he has been playing down the riots on the following grounds: "Politics in France is heading to the Right and I don't want Right-wing politicians back in second or even first place because we showed burning cars on television."

Sounds like CBS, right?

It's insane. People with means will flee, and the rest will convert to Islam or die.
