Ever since 9/11, I've been gloomily predicting the European powder keg's about to go up. ''By 2010 we'll be watching burning buildings, street riots and assassinations on the news every night,'' I wrote in Canada's Western Standard back in February.


Silly me. The Eurabian civil war appears to have started some years ahead of my optimistic schedule. As Thursday's edition of the Guardian reported in London: ''French youths fired at police and burned over 300 cars last night as towns around Paris experienced their worst night of violence in a week of urban unrest.'' . . .

Ok, let's imagine the French send in the army, killing and wounding hundreds of Arabs

A little prediction: Free Republic and likeminded forums will suddenly fill up with hysterical posts denouncing French "racism", and calling on the US government to "protect" the poor, persecuted Muslims of France

It will be Algeria, Chechnya, Bosnia and Kosovo all over again

Now, which is the greater danger to France:

1) Rioting Muslims

2) Or rioting Muslims backed by the USA?

For some reason I don't see that happening, cowcube.

Fox Jews, uh, news is now referring to this as a "muslim riot" And Bill Oreilly and the usual crowd is all over this with references to the "war on terror"etc. Where they want to go with this you can probably figure out.

they need to start busting some heads here, but for some reason I don't see that happening. And these dirty immigrants now know they can do whatever the fuck they want.

Starr, it would be a God-given opportunity to "pay back" Chirac in his own coin

Do you really think Freepers would resist the temptation?

I have been following this story over at Free Republic for a while now. The general tone over there is schadenfreude. They are having a blast watching the French surrender to the muslims, but they are also quite pro-Sarkozy.

[Starr]

Yeah, the basic attitude with the neo-con talking heads on TV is that this is payback for a country that did not support the war on terror. They are getting what they deserve,etc.

[Jimbo Gomez]

Same on this msn neocon forum I occasionally post on. I felt deeply offended and I'm not even French.

Half solutions only cause more problems.
