    Besides the greatest contribution France ever made to society was the BJ.
    Well, er...there's also the first "treatment" for rabies, pasteurization, the first drugs to actually treat schizophrenia, various techno-mechanical advances (recoil dampening gun carriages), and Michelin tires, so maybe not JUST the "BJ"...

    Anyway, I'm not a fan of the French, and I'm not here to defend them. What I wanted to point out has little to do with the riots (a precipitous reaction to precipitous government antics), but more to do with the most recent terrorist shootings (the most recent was at a "Christmas Shopping Center"?). I notice that the perpetrator, like many of his predecessors, was killed by the GIGN
    or other units. Not many of them have survived. This MAY have much to do with the creeps' unwillingness to be taken alive, but I ALSO suspect that the French Law Enforcement has tacitly adopted a policy in which no extraordinary efforts will be made to capture the bad-guys. The LEOs MIGHT accept their surrender if the creeps make an effort, but I sense that none of the agencies are going out of their way to "talk them down" or neutralize them in a non-lethal manner.
    I think this is a step in the right direction. I'm not sure a "kill on detection" approach is quite right, but the French may have realized that the days of non-lethal apprehension and "intelligence gathering" have passed, and that persons who engage in such atrocities should be given little if anything in the way of quarter or reprieve.

    If that's indeed the case, kudos to the French for recognizing that eradicating, on sight, a clear danger to general health, welfare and safety is unarguably an effective solution to a vermin problem.

    "Both" sides of French politics is the left and more left. Check out their demands. A couple sound good, but most of them are just asking for more government.
    There's STILL a flicker of center-right sentiment in France, though I agree it's been badly degraded. We MAY see more of it in the foreseeable future.
    Mitterand is the last center-right politician I'M able to remember. He did a great deal to keep Africa from becoming more communist than it was, before the fall of the Berlin wall. HIS foreign policy was, "If they go communist, we overthrow them with a coup, fomented by mercenaries", and, of course, the covert assistance of the French or other Francophile governments in proximity.

    What's interesting to me is that while we have "anarchists" here pushing for socialism and communism, Europe has people rioting against it. Good timing for us IMHO, as it just flies in the face of the idiots pushing for that which has once again been shown to be disastrous.
