What I'm wondering UW, is this simply spontaneous due to pop growth, or have the Islamo facsists planned it. Or may be they have simply been prepared for a while and waiting for something to come along and light the fuse. Spain evicted the Moriscos (sp??) post the re-conquest. I wonder what Europe can do post WW2. The 20th century European blood baths really sapped Europe of it's vitality.

France has never won a war.


Since Napoleon. He did kick some butt. And was a military genius.

France has never won a war. It now appears France won't win a civil war. Is that possible?


Napoleon did quite well there for a considerable while. But I don't think the French ever recovered from his adventures.

The question to my mind, is, are the European governments democratic at all? Will they respond to the deep discontent of the majority of the people to this state of affairs? In The Netherlands, the answer seems to be 'yes', and we have seen a major change in attitude in the last year. In France, the jury is still out. If this government does not get the situation under some kind of control, we may see Le Pen win the next election. Then the s--- will really hit the fan.
