Here's another story from Al Jazeera:

Riots engulf Paris suburbs

Hundreds of youths have fought with police in Parisian suburbs in a seventh night of riots, piling pressure on Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin's government to quickly restore order. Youths went on the rampage in nine areas in poor suburbs on Thursday ringing the French capital to the north and the east, setting alight about 40 cars, two buses, and dustbins, as well as damaging at least one school and a shopping centre. ...

LePen and his minions must be having a ball.

The headscarf controversy in the schools; no jobs, no way to move forward. Now this.

Looks like Watts, 1965.

I was surprised by the coverage that this story has gotten in the U.S. media.... maybe because it involves the rightwing's favorite whipping boy, France.

Dig.

But this is a potentially bad-to-worse moment, and it's going to help Muslim extremists worldwide if Chirac doesn't move faster and curtail further bloodshed.  Eventually, the racists are going to take the law into their own hands, something they've been itching to do.

Trying to do a Dirty Harry isn't going to help anyone get lucky.

Nobody has been injured since the two kids died (the unfortuante accident that triggered this round of protects).

These are not "riots". You have isolated incidents and skirmishes, lots of burnt cars (but you had 100 burnt per day every day this year, and nobody talked about "riots" then) and a few buildings that have been damaged.

This is nowhere near "riots".
