PARIS INTIFADA - CAUSES AND REMEDIES; or why France desperately needs a French version of Rudy Giuliani

Here are TWO great posts you gotta check out:

EUROTA: "The riots in Paris are exposing the very soft underbelly of Europe. Economic malaise, government failure, and an emasculated response to violence have all played a part in the rampages and destruction of property."

and CUANAS: The Paris Intifada: A Cycle of Violence -- The comments section over at Little Green Footballs is just smokin' with good one and two-liners about the Paris Intifada - [and CUANAS HAS CULLED A FEW GEMS!]

These two posts led me to a EUREKA moment: what France needs is a RUDY - someone to come down hard on the thugs and set HIGH STANDARDS for public behavior; to be intolerant of intolerable behavior.

As I posted before: the root cause of this latest display of "social unrest" is NOT racism and discrimination and the "just grievances" of a wronged group of people, (as the MSM would have you believe).

The actual root causes are the EXACT OPPOSITE: (1) THE INDULGENCE OF BAD BEHAVIOR BY THE LEFT (over decades); and (2) a generation POISONED BY A HATE-FILLED IDEOLOGY: ISLAMOFASCISM.


When NYC was being savaged by rampant crime and by OVER-INDULGED THUGS RAMPAGING IN THE STREETS WITH NO FEAR OF REPRISALS for more on the CROWN HEIGHTS RIOTS click HERE and HERE) - and the subtle bigotry of low expections - Rudy Giuliani RESCUED the city: he demanded EVERYONE obey the law, or get arrested. IT WORKED.

PARIS NEEDS A RUDY! THE FRENCH NEED A RUDY! If the French have anyone who can be their Rudy, I think it is Sarkozy. If he can't completely tackle the problem now, maybe he can when he's elected president in 2007? I hope so!

[ASIDE: In 2002, the mayor of Paris - Bertrand Delanoe - was stabbed by a homophobic French-Algerian Muslim: "Berkane, a computer technician who lives with his parents in a suburb north of Paris, later told police that he "didn't like politicians and particularly didn't like homosexuals." This man was later ruled UNFIT FOR TRIAL.

In my opinion, it is NO COINCIDENCE that this "Muslim mad-man" lived in one of the neighborhoods where the rioting is now occuring. His madness was informed by his hate-filled ideology, and it was permitted to express itself VIOLENTLY AND WITHOUT CRIMINAL PROSECUTION by the "PERMISSIVE Left" YES: Even this event sent the wrong signal, a signal of weakness - like Clinton's "premature withdrawal" under fire from Somalia.]

UPDATE: WINDS OF WAR AGREES: "Instead of discouraging certain destructive behaviours, Britain would excuse them and subsidise them (unsurprisingly, those destructive behaviours aren’t conducive to holding a job). In France, a similar policy has been adopted by government after government. Veering from complete indifference to a patronising and deeply damaging paternalism, often in the same week, the result is scores, probably hundreds, of cités. "

There's more THERE. And SOME agreement from CAPT'S QUARTERS: "The French still dither when they should act instead, sending the message even more clearly that they will not act in their own defense."

"RUDY RUDY RUDY!" Or should I say: "IL NOUS FAUT UN RUDY!" Or how about this: HEY, Chirac, Villepin, Sarko! Here's Rudy's website! Give him a call AT ONCE! I'm sure he can help!

UPDATE #2: SPENCER/JIHAD WATCH agrees with the diagnosis - of the BOTH, the MSM's FAULTY DIAGNOSIS, and the ACTUAL ROOTS OF THE PARIS INTIFADA.

UPDATE #3: DALRYMPLE AGREES. CALLED I LAXISME IN 2002 - FRENCH FOR APPEASEMENT.

Well put. Maybe we'll need Rudy in 2008.

French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said Thursday that the riots in several Paris suburbs over the previous night were "not spontaneous" but rather "well organized."


who's organizing it?

harry reid and chuck schumer.

only kidding.

GUESS: local mosques.

Local Moseques would be one possible organizer, however, that would only work if it were JUST muslims doing the rioting. French reports say it's more than just one minority.

Remember it was 2 people of AFRICAN decent that died and started theese riots.
