The French social model

By Aussiegirl

Already France is preparing the articles of surrender. New building projects have been announced to modernize the Islamic areas, scholarships will be awarded to the most aggrieved -- perhaps on the basis of the most cars burned. One car burned earns you one semester of free tuition. That should do it. We would laugh if it wasn't so horrifying to see that France is not willing to defend itself, but instead seeks more avenues of surrender.

The American Thinker: "Last week Paris was burning. Now it is the little town of Evreux where 50 cars were torched on Saturday night by Muslim teenagers. No problem? Evreux is 25 miles from Giverny, the home of Monet's garden and its famous Japanese bridge. The garden was restored in the 1970s by an American publishing heiresses.

After the Los Angeles riots in 1992 the French were supercilious. It couldn't happen here, they sniffed. The French social model made such a thing impossible. But on Sunday after ten nights of riots, French President Jacques Chirac convened an "emergency security meeting" to address the crisis."
