#2 "Either Europe develops and supports the idea of a mixed culture, or Europe has no future," he said. "Europe has to learn from what the United States has done. It is a country that has taken in people from all over the world."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Speechless in shock!*

#5 The key to stopping the violence is to harness the awesome power of socialism.

1. Hand out "car burning" permits that allow perhaps 10 cars per person per night.

2. Slowly reduce-down the number of car/night or vouchers to a manageable number.

3. Later sell the vouchers to raise more revenue for the state once a means of enforcing violations are in place.

Problem solved.

#6 Austria's rightist, xenophobic freedom Party may be renamed to the We Tried To Warn You Jerks Party.

#7 1. poverty - France almost certainly needs more capitalism - but that doesnt mean they will have to undo the welfare state - France has many statists policies that restrict business, that could be liberalized, while leaving core social welfare programs intact. IE they could move in the direction of Britain, which still has a pretty full welfare state, at least by American standards, but a much more free market economy - and lower unemployment than France.

2. There does seem to be real racism in France, that keeps folks in the Cites from getting jobs that are available - they really are decades behind us, despite their "liberal" rhetoric.

3. It would be hard to argue against limiting further immigration while this gets sorted out.

4. Yes TW, some folks are capable of seeing what the US has accomplished.

5. The Austrian Freedom party are a bunch of racist, antisemitic jerks.

6. Order must be restored - not just in the short term, but a general crackdown on crime. In the US this was done, while police brutality was limited using civilian review boards - im not sure that would work in the centralized French state.

#8 France has many statists policies that restrict business, that could be liberalized

Why does the word 'liberalized' seem so wrong when talking about a socialist system needing to be moved to capitalism? Here I was under the false impression that socialism was liberalizing laissez-faire capitalism? And just as confusing is that laissez-faire should be french.

#9 I have a feeling that these rioting bastards are no more traditional Jihadinutz than any of us here. As the Fr Interior Minister says, they are just "thugs". They aren't putting themselves up to meet 72 sweeties in angel-land. So, France needs to reinstitute the death penalty, and any rioter that kills someone, meets Mr Guillotine, and his severed head is mounted on the top of a lamppost for all to see.

#12 "That means above all that they must master the German language."

No, I would say allegiance to the host nation, documented in no matter what language, would be the place to start. A few classes about respecting German society, a vow of non-violence before the court, a few tests to see whether you "get" democracy-that's where you start. Then German language and a policy of no free rides. When you do this, you enter a new life. Enjoy it.
