Hmmmm. I don't know where to start with this intifada business. I thought of writing about it myself. France still refuses to acknowledge that these are Islamic inspired terrorist acts and insists it's just some rowdy underprivileged kids. I wonder where they got the military weapons - silly me, I think it's a clash of cultures. This will spread throughout "Old Europe" and of equal concern to like minded counties on our Northern border.

Let's review, burning invalids to death, beating elderly to death, paralyzing public transportation, setting whole neighborhood upon neighborhood ablaze for 12 days or more .... yeah, just some youthful prankster.

And so many here still don't get it.

I don't understand what's going on in France, and I'm shamed to admit I cannot muster the strength to care. I've been feeling quite sad for our own country, and it's current state of disarray. Add that to the frustration of our government caring more about foreign countries than it's own people, and I no longer give a crap about what's happening anywhere else. I know that sounds insensitive, but I've devoted all of my compassion and energy to my own country, I've got nothing left to give. Still, I do hope whatever has caused this rioting in France is fixed soon, because no one deserves that kind of pain.

Not being in the USA I will not comment, due to the lack of knowledge and information on the subject. BUT...what is happening in France is scary...real scary

Vigilance...

I sometimes wonder if some of this wouldn't be happening if somebody hadn't invented God, lots of different races, and lutefisk.

Blaming France on lutefisk?

Hmmmm....y'might be onto somethin' ;)

A country gets what it fosters. France was the great socialist nation, one admired by John Kerry. We should listen to France, he urged.

We're listening. Are you, John?

Probably not...

Um, didn't France decline from helping us so they could avoid stuff like this?

Hmmm.. is there a lesson there?

50% of our population considers French diplomacy superior to American resolve and strength. If we continue to follow France's example and philosophical point of view, we'll be doomed to the same fate they're experiencing right now. I hope that France learns from this, and realizes that they're entrenched in the same war America is actively fighting.

This isn't about this blog, it's just in response to your comment on mine. My pics currently are with a Canon Eos Rebel and they are far from great. I'm looking into a digital but haven't figured out how to cut off my right arm to pay for it and still be able to hold the camera.

And about Gabe, he's an American Mastiff, he's not yet 2 and weighs in around 195lbs at the moment. He is a fawn color, although we had hoped he'd stay apricot as he appeared to be when he was born. Yours is the color we were after!
