"I don't want you to worry, Jacques. Just like you personally promised me, and just like Dominique personally promised Colin, and just like your top military leaders assured the Pentagon, that France would be with America in confronting Saddam; so you have my assurances of support for France."

"If we start shooting them, outside groups will start smuggling them weapons and then we're all screwed." Makes total sense if you think about it. I don't think it makes sense at all. The islamomob has declared war on France. I'll bet you anything that weapons are being smuggled in as we type and it won't be long before these guys are going after the gendarmes with AK47's. France is at war. Right now. It's a shame they don't know it.

Vicomte13 says this has absolutely nothing to do with islam, and he/she is in France. That's a joke right? When the President of Iran calls for expanding the riots and the 'yoots' comply on command I'd say it has something to do with islam.

France doesn't have the money to buy them off.After everything else that the French government has been a party to, I don't think check kiting is gonna be a problem for them.

The US media rarely reports much about things that happen overseas. The only reason Iraq has gotten attention is that we are there.

Riots broke out in beacons of disaffection across the country from Lille, on the border with Belgium, to Montpellier on the Mediterranean coast. Funny, in spite of not speaking the language of their host nation, and in spite of "not being satisfied," these people don't leave back for their homeland.
Hmmm! LOL

I wonder if the opinions of any of those Dummies would change if the rioters were right outside their homes.

"In Grigny, south of the capital, a gang of around 200 youths are reported to have lured police into a housing estate before opening fire with hunting rifles. At least 30 officers were injured, two seriously with lead pellets in the legs and neck."
Do gun bans work? No

I wonder. I'm not so sure they would. If someone is anti-american and anti-authority, they're all right in the DUmmies' book. Even if they're about to torch and burn the DUmmies' Volvo.

Of course, outside groups may still smuggle them weapons...

This is the handicapped woman set on fire on the bus the other day...
Des jeunes ont attaqué un bus à l'aide d'une bouteille d'essence enflammée à Sevran mercredi soir. Une handicapée n'ayant pu s'échapper à temps du bus a été grièvement brûlée. La sûreté départementale de Seine-Saint-Denis a lancé vendredi un appel à témoin.

BB guns? I mean, I read the word, "hunting rifles" and thought, "Oh man, it's hitting the fan." Called my mom. She sat at the couch, listening. Then I find they were shot with pellets? Europe. [Snort.] Only a matter of time before the islamic brotherhood or AQ or hezbollah smuggle in some AK47's.
