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 !
