France Fries
A bomb-making operation was found in a Paris suburb last night as more than 900 vehicles, schools and shops were torched by Muslim immigrants in incidents spreading across France from Normandy to Paris to Mediterranean Sea.
The European Civil War is ahead of schedule, but hardly surprising. Sadly, as Mark Steyn notes, we have come to the edge of critical point in Western European history.
Now would be a prudent time to deploy the military to restore order, but as Parapundit notes, the loyalty of the French Army is in doubt.
The riots seem to be spreading, the police are ineffectual, the government is paralyzed by doubt, and the military, apparently, isn't trusted to follow orders.
If the French don't break out of their torpor soon, this might become known as the largest minaret in the world.
The French need to remember that France is their home and if they don't fight for it, no one will.

These guys have cell phones, police scanners, and computers, and hit and run knowing that they won't be shot, at least by anything that causes a fatal injury. If your car is destroyed, and you couldn't legally defend your property with a firearm, who is to blame?

Posted by: Confederate Yankee at November 7, 2005 03:17 PMWords fail to give an adequate picture of the present days in France, but this Map despite the fact that it is without doubt dated at this time, does reveal what the media has clouded with smoke and mirrors.
