Frigen clowns must have really thought the French would vote the socialist in. Now things may slowly change in France, and Islam may get the short end of the stick. Perhaps the majority of French may slowly realize these people are a lot different then others that they have freely accepted into their society.
Then again. Some nations elect to continue to slumber. Burn all their cars and they will still choose to ignore those amongst them that hate the concepts of western democracy other then using it as a free lunch.

Hmm, let’s chew on this a bit.

France is a largely Socialist country. Chirac is certainly a Socialist. Most of the larger industries were nationalized years ago.

Technically then, many, many of the citizens work for Chirac, not directly of course.

Given that he is the boss, it’s almost their duty to support his positions, right?

Sarkozy is now their boss. As with GWB, there will be entrenched Chirakkies who will try to throw sand into the gears, but an awful lot of Sarkozy’s employees are going to shift their allegiances relatively quickly.

Once you get outside of the big cities, esp. Paris, the people in the countryside are rational, just as rational as most of the people in Anytown, USA.

Sarkozy could make a big difference very quickly.
