Imagine...

....if the French loved freedom as much as they love "free lunch"?

WSJ.com - Casseurs: "Cars were bashed, crushed, set on fire. Shops and restaurants were sacked. And they attacked the anti-Cpistes with equal fury. Hundreds were robbed and beaten, some seriously injured. But the media are still focusing on the youthful exuberance of a revolt led by starlets, ingnus, and semiliterate dudes. The mobilization is orgasmic. It's growing, it's growing, and nothing will stop it and certainly not that stick figure with the wavy white hair, Dominique de Villepin. Stubborn fool. How can he remain deaf to the pleas of tens of thousands of demonstrators? They have been mobilized for two months, they've closed down universities and lyces, the workers are with them, they will demonstrate now and forever, they are the word, they are the world.
They are, in fact, the same excited juveniles who demonstrated by the 80 thousands in March of 2003. Their rallying cry was No Blood for Oil. And their hero was...then-Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin, revered for his anti-war oratory at the United Nations. But G. W. Bush, deaf to the peace marchers on European boulevards, stubbornly pursued his illegal war in Iraq.
In March 2003 France chose apaisement. Is anyone wondering why the country is wracked with violent conflict today?"
