AFP - Tue Apr 4, 3:53 PM ET A youth breaks the window of an employment agency at the end of a demonstration against a French youth jobs plan which gathered around 30,000 people in the northern French town of Lille. Gangs of youths clashed with riot police who responded with tear gas as violence erupted in Paris and other French cities after more than a million people protested against an unpopular youth jobs plan.(AFP/Philippe Huguen)

I see three possible outcomes to this flirtation with anarchy and chaos.
1. Villepin resigns and is replaced by Nicholas Sarkozy the only Pro-American, Center Right Pro-capitalist politician in France with any cajones. This would pave the way for Sarkozy to run and win the Presidential election in 2007.
2.The situation falls apart and the Ultra Far Right Neo-Nazi National Front Party led by Jean-Marie le Pen comes to power. Because le Pen is close to 80, his daughter Marine would be the puppet in this neo-fascist government.
3. The right loses it completely and the extreme Left Socialist and worse comes to power.
IMO only solution #1 can save France.

I am fairly certain that the next president of France will be the Socialist, Segolene Royal. She will portray herself as being "Blairite", in order to win enough votes from the centre.
This means, no change until a crisis point is reached. I suspect after it falls apart under the Socialists, then the National Front will gain votes.

For Mr Chirac, almost certainly only a year away from leaving office...Cool, so when would his arrest and trial commence? Are there charges pending his departure from office?

I've thought the same thing. I believe he has been trying to pass a law baring his being indicted.
Sadam passed the same type laws, lot of good it did him.
I look for war in the streets, not just unrest but a large bloody confrontation.

Nothing changes, in the 1940's Eisenhower said " I would rather have 10 divisions of Germans in front of me than one frenchman behind"

Oh nothing gives me greater pleasure than to see the Gallic
dirigistes like Chirac and Villepin receive their comeuppance.

The old order is dying. I see it as only a question of time before the Fifth Republic is replaced. Its institutions are not up to the task of saving France from the abyss - and another De Gaulle is nowhere in sight.

I THINK THE RESULT WILL BE EITHER 2 OR 3. LE PEN AND HIS GANG HAVE BEEN STEADILY GAINING SUPPORT IN RECENT FRENCH ELECTIONS. THE ULTRA RIGHT PARTY IN AUSTRIA CAME TO POWER WHEN NO ONE THOUGHT THEY COULD, MAYBE THE WEASELS WILL ALSO TURN THAT DIRECTION. I HOPE THEY DON'T.

Are you saying that LePen is a nazi? At 80 was he a Vichy or even a Waffen recruit?
