First it was a riot. Now it is a insurgency. Let me know when it is a revolution.
No it was more to do with France trying to be a world power and go her own way, as did Russia and China.
It's confusing. He seems to be referring to the Muslim riots in January.
The participants in the current riots - which I guess are still going on - are middle class college students who don't want the French employment policies liberalized to permit temporary jobs, firing at the discretion of the employer, etc. IIRC, this same group rioted last year when the French government attempted to cut the amount of a stipend that French college students receive.
Too bad france is not the only one playing at the appeasement game.
I suspect that our 'alienated yutes' friends are also involved in the current riots in the streets. 'The Interior Ministry said that 250K took to the streets in 80 cities across France' -- one of those articles said, posted 3/16/06!
These student riots have been going on for over a week now.
Probably won't happen until the last boomer who came of age in that youth-worshipping time frame dies (maybe not even then).
How can it be an insurgency if it's just a bunch of disgruntled middle-class students? And labor union commies? And Muzzies? And ????

That is what the title of this thread calls it: Insurgents In France
Of course it is an insurgency. They are leaving out some of the salient points, I do believe.
Unfortunately something is going to have to be done to save the french, again, because muslim fanatics cannot be allowed to have nukes, even french nukes.
