No one is enjoying this, however it would have been nice many years ago if France had supported the war on terror and accepted the reality of this. They have since (actually always in modern times) appeased and now are seeing the fruits of their ineptness.
Actually, I'm rather enjoying this, watching the French wring their hands & blather about how to stop it and what caused it (Don't get stuck on stupid! It's caused by appeasement of Islamic terrorists and the socialist/welfare-state, same as in NO) while their cities are burning down before them!
Agreed! You could cut the Schadenfreude with a knife, but the Frenchies are at least nominally part of Western civilization, and it would be a shame to see them become an Islamic Republic! So we may wind up having to go in there and save their smelly butts for the third time in a century....
I must admit, when the riots began I felt vindicated. I have had several heated arguments with Europeans over the past two years about the situation in France. When I suggested that Muslims in the French suburbs would be rioting soon, these Europeans dismissed me as an ignorant fool.
But at this point I feel only sadness. A great nation and culture that has given so much to Europe and the world in the fields of science, mathematics, philosopy, theology, political theory, the arts and literature is coming to an end. There is nothing now that can save France from its downward spiral into decadence and disintegration.
