So the Islamofascist rioters are continuing to burn down all the cars, schools, gyms, etc. they can find, and in response President Chirac vows -- not new efforts to halt the riots -- but arrests and trials.
PARIS - French President Jacques Chirac on Sunday promised arrests, trials and punishment for those sowing "violence or fear" across France — as the urban unrest that has triggered attacks on vehicles, nursery schools and other targets reached central Paris.
With the riots continuing into day 11, it appears that Chirac is doing little that is effective to halt them.
Not surprisingly, Chirac's strategy hasn't cowed the rioters into submission. Instead it seems to be encouraging them to greater violence. Now they're shooting at police:
GRIGNY, France (Reuters) - Rioters fired shots at police in an 11th night of riots in France on Sunday, injuring 10 policemen, two of them seriously, police said.
What an indictment this is of the French approach to terrorism in Iraq and in their own home nation.
I'd like to know -- what makes Chirac think the riots are going to stop?
What are the French people saying about this pathetic inability of their own government to defend them?
Will the French people demand that the army be called in to suppress the riots?
