You're getting hysterical again. What are WE supposed to DO about WHAT? Cleaning up the mess W made in Iraq? Perhaps it would be good to understand how that mess came to be before going off on another flight of fantasy about fixing the world in W's image and likeness.

There was basically no radical Islamic presence in Iraq before W got the war of his heart's desire. You can rant about how it's all somebody else's fault all you want, it's the W "personal responsibility" thing to do.

"And look at France.. They stayed out of the war and look at how they are being repaid... Riots in the suburbs of Paris..."

The riots in France have less to do with Iraq and more to do with the poverty and hopelessness that many young North African men feel.

Anyone who has studied the situation of North Africans in France can see that it is a powder keg.

I see that Nicole has posted several interesting points of view on the French riots.

Perhaps you should read them.
