Say what you want about Mexicans, they have a hard work ethic and would rather work for $$$ than blow up cars.

Not all are here to work. They make up a sizeable portion of the California prison population. They murder, rob, and sell drugs.

Incarceration. The cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in California's prisons and jails amounts to about $1.4 billion a year (not including related law enforcement and judicial expenditures or the monetary costs of the crimes that led to their incarceration. There are an estimated 48,000 illegal aliens in Californian prisons.

Don't worry, when your leaders beg for U.S. Troops to bail you out again, We'll be there.

Why?

In his book "Death Of The West" Pat Buchannan writes about how Moslem populations will change Western Europe

JMO, pat is torn in this conflict, two Jew hating factions fighting amongst themselves(the current French govt. and islamic jihadis).

BTW, where has pat buchanan been? IF GW Bush has a hangnail, pat has an article out pronto, 10 nights of islamic violence in France and pat buchanan is basically a cricket.

Authorities have so far found no way beyond appeals and more police to address a problem with complex social, economic and racial causes.

Don't you all understand?!?!!??! This is a complex social and racial issue. It's going to take a long time and research for the french government to even BEGIN to figure out how to stop the car burnings and violence.

An NBC anchor this morning referred to the riots as "destructive demonstrations."

Look no further than a blackmail situation where the reds are poised to join the islamofascists to claim their goods.

The commies are already in on it! They've been calling on Sarkozy to resign for days now.

We need to set up a website, www.iamsorryworld.fr and all the Frenchies can hold up signs saying they are "sorry" for the root causes that made those people burn those cars.

Actually, I like that.

It's only a matter of time before Code Pinko TAKES UP THIS CAUSE.

How does Reuters, in good conscience, minimize the violence and destruction? Do they think we don't notice?

Yes.

Why?

France has nuclear warheads (350+-). Pretty good reason.

They need to do some soul searching and find out what they did that makes the "Religion of Peace" hate them so much.

Johnny Depp would disagree, he packed his kids their because it is so much more civilized.

I heard an explanation from a WWII veteran:

All of the brave souls in France died in WWII...this left only the genes of cowards to be reproduced.

They had a 'head' start. Anyone who could think independently was eliminated during the french revolution.
