try going to europe first before passing judgement on it. you remind me of those obnoxious frenchmen whom think that "american culture" consists of big macs, guns, and bombing other countries. to be sure, we have and do all of the three, but that is hardly the sum of american culture. |

. America serves only in its interest and does not give a f*** about others. It’s the cause of a lot of problems around the world. US made a mistake in Iraq so now it’s paying the price. You call countries that foreseen this mess cowards, I call them smart. In fact you expect Europe to help you in your own mess. |

Palestine is quieter because Sharon has done something that was not ever imagined it would be ever agreed to - moving out of areas occupied after the war! A very bold and courageous step. The moral ascendancy Sharon has now achieved cannot allow even the most ardent supporter of the Palestinians open their mouth! That's why. Arafat gone has helped, but again the importance of Saddam is just a crutch. The real culprits seem to have missed your crosshair - its your bosom friends, the real fiends - the bankroller Saudi Arabia, the wahabi scum! |

What discriminatory practices does France utilize against people of North African descent? If it is a matter of the French people being racist in attitude but not action, then these riots are totally unjustified (racist attitudes are horrible, but destroying property is illegal, and certainly helps the racists persuade the mainstream population that their claims about immigrants are true). If it is a matter of high unemployment, then still, these riots are unjustified, nobody is entitled to be handed a job, especially not those who came illegally (I'm not saying most of these people are illegal immigrants, but some certainly are). If however, France has laws aimed at keeping these people downtrodden, then maybe this rioting is justified (again though, nobody is entitled to a job, not receiving affirmative action does not count as "laws to keep them downtrodden").
