No, the question is- do we want to.We have to protect France's nuclear arsenal. They have an estimated 350 warheads and missiles with a range of 3600 miles. They also have plenty of short-range missiles that can be launched from mobile platforms. If these were to fall into terrorists hands, all of Europe could be held hostage.
Here's a link for info about French weapon systems

I'd imagine the Danes don't have the same slum conditions found around Paris. What are the complaints of the Muslims in Denmark?

LOL. Damn, it says something when the only government official in France that seems to still have a pair must be assumed to be of non-French ancestry!!! You couldn't make this stuff up! France is still waiting for foreigners to save her from her own inbred ruling class. No wonder Chiraq and deVillepanties hate him so much.
Sarkozy was brought up in a Judeo-Christian household. He's outnumbered 5 million to one, and is still holding on.

How come we're not hearing about the Muslim rioting going on in Denmark? How come us in America aren't hearing about the nightly terror happening now on French streets?
One minute blips from the MSM and that's it.
I can assure you if 1400 hundred cars were torched in one night in the streets of America, katie couric in the morning would be screaming, but it is happening in France, liberal paradise, so they put their hands up to their ears and scream, "lalalalalala, I don't hear you" and go about their day like nothing is wrong.

A Newspaper published cartoons featuring Mohammed. But one blog has a quote from one of the Terrorists that they have been planning this for weeks (before the publishing of the cartoons) the blog site is http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/008829.php

It's about 6:40 pm in France. Has there been any report of rioting yet tonight? It's almost 8:00 PM, Rush out of the loop, he thought it was 1400 cars burned in the last week and a half, instead of last night.
Thanks ET for the report from Sky News, much appreciated.

I just realized today - whenever most countries have disasters (natural or otherwise), there is usually an outpouring of offers of support from governments worldwide. As far as I know, there have been no calls made to France offering support (equipment, swat teams, intel, etc). Seems like everyone is silently letting France go down in flames. Not that I'm complaining....

BBC World seems to having a fairly heavy coverage tonight...
They have a correspondent out in the one suburb with a curfew. Will be interesting to see how that turns out..

Interesting observation. The only offer for help I have seen was Libya, which was refused.

That's what happens when your country has stabbed most of the free world in the back repeatedly, has offended *everyone*, and has held itself superior to everyone else by claiming to be Utopia.
France has claimed that its ability to handle anything dwarfs that of anyone else, anywhere, any time. The rest of the world is simply taking France at its word and watching.
