Hi Bob Foghorn; Re: "I find it pathetic that Chiraq is apologizing to these people for not blending them into French society more effectively. You can not bend over to these Arabs or North Africans just because they can't find work in a country to which they have no cultural identification." The way I understand it, France let a lot of those people into France because they fought on France's side during the Algerian conflict. And I think that trying to blend them into French culture is better done belatedly than not at all. One of the greatest strength of the US is its ability to turn foreigners into natives. France, in fact any country, would do well to imitate us. After the collapse in Iraq, we'll probably have a lot of Iraqis move to this country just like we had Vietnamese move here after the collapse there. I doubt our problems will be as severe as France's because we are bigger, we're better at assimilating, and the numbers moving here are likely to be a lot smaller. -- Carl
