" will be engaged in - as so many here have predicted - an outright war with the 57.5 million people all around them. "

If this "rioting" continues and becomes an insurgency this statement will have been proven false. I doubt really if there are 25 million Frenchpersons willing to actually fight, i.e., shoot to kill, for their nation. If you need to know what a relatively"small" group of determined fanatics can do just take a gander at Iraq.

I don't know which way this will go in a week but what has been witnessed already shows that France is in some deep doo-doo. Somehow, I just can't bring myself to weep.
