"These French citizens need to fight back. Teenagers armed with stones should not wield this kind of power over a busload of passengers. You can't always wait for police or firefighters to rescue you from an enemy in your face right now."

They've become far too "civilized" for that.

"We here in America need a good precedent to follow."

A new Benes Decree?

>>Seems to me that France is in the middle of a civil war.<<

Municiple Civil War yes !

That is what we had here in America in the years preceding the American Civil War of 1861 to 1865 .

Huge immigrant riots dominated New York City in the 1840's and 50's . .

Something to think about: In the Rodney King Riots of 1992, most of the looters arrested were Latino Immigrants, most of them; illegal aliens . .

>>the rioters are French-born muslim children of immigrants.<<

Not all of them, many were not born in France, but in North Africa .

Of course, 'not all', but numbers high enough that render the government paralyzed to correct the problem.

Another possibility is to allow things to get so bad, that the French populace will look on with relief when democracy has to be swept away, to allow the "strong men" to take charge "to save the country"

If most of those arrested during the Rodney King riots were latino, it doesn't mean most of the rioters were latino. We saw the riots live on TV and most of the rioters were black.

This will eventually end the way the Kent State riots ended. Someone's gonna lose their patience, and the bloodletting will begin.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was being sarcastic, and tried to add a little humor! Read the last line:

"BTW - just how many Legionnaires do you think it would take...?"

I said most of those arrested for LOOTING - - not neccesarily rioting .

Looting = Stealing

Of the 15,000 arrested for looting, 49% were illegal aliens .
Not counting the legal ones .

What the French need to do is recall a Foreign Legionnaire unit from its overseas posting and then use the police to seal the area off from reporters.

I believe the Foriegn Legion isn't allowed in France. Of course, that begs the question whether France is actually a sovereign nation anymore.

Yes You are right about that.
Also I read somewhere that now the majority of the Foreign Legionnaires aren't even foreign but French.
I haven't given completely up on the French, perhaps as the situation deteriorates further the Army will step in. And we will see another failed example of the French governing themselves when we go from 5th Republic to 6th Republic. Bring back the Capets, the Bourbons or the Bonapartes !
