Courtesy of No Pasaran. Chirac kept France out of Iraq to keep this from happening; he coddled Arafat to keep this from happening; he kissed Saddam's ass to keep this from happening. Well it ain't happening in New York, Jaques.
"Back in the 1990s, the French sneered at America for the Los Angeles riots. As the Chicago Sun-Times reported in 1992: "the consensus of French pundits is that something on the scale of the Los Angeles riots could not happen here, mainly because France is a more humane, less racist place with a much stronger commitment to social welfare programs." President Mitterrand, the Washington Post reported in 1992, blamed the riots on the "conservative society" that Presidents Reagan and Bush had created and said France is different because it "is the country where the level of social protection is the highest in the world.""----NY Sun

Hi,
I'm french.
Actually, i'm shocked by the way world medias have covered the "french riots".
I mean those events are related with french society troubles and have nothing to do with religious problem or stuffs. French society is definitly not perfect, but please dont mix everything.
About iraky war, u have to think about the thousand of American soldiers dying overethere in order to maintain big companies profits... And I forget iraky people... (Irak never attacked america, there were no mass destruction weapons...)
But this is now US stuff and I dont tell u how to do inside ur country, so please don't critik a country u dont know.
