The great French ghetto fire: 10 nights and still burning strong
If it weren't for Nicholas Sarkozy, France's Interior Minister, the cheese-eating surrender monkeys in Paris would have capitulated to France's Muslim militant insurgency roughly 9 days ago. Now in their 10th day, the riots continue to spread. As a supporter of Sarkozy, I especially appreciated this:
For the young men of Le Blanc-Mesnil and hundreds in other impoverished suburbs, one man represents all they find abhorrent in the French government: Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, who has been considered the country's leading contender in the 2007 presidential elections. Last month, he recommended waging a "war without mercy" against criminals and other troublemakers in the poor areas.
What's especially interesting is that Sarkozy seems to be France's current best hope--and the best political hope for the rioting Muslims. There are a variety of reasons for this that I won't get into now. Suffice it to say that after all the America-bashing that came from Sarkozy's political opponents, it's interesting that the rioting youths seem to have some admiration for America:
"We don't have the American dream here," said Rezzoug, as he surveyed the clusters of young men. "We don't even have the French dream here."
