Parisian Intifida- Hoodlums trying to deface our 'Paris.' (A note for those liberals who think that appeasement works..) Chirac has played its foreign policy of pacification partly to keep its 5 million immigrant population mollified. They have so far ‘said’ the right things, and done the right things. They have stood up to ‘American Imperialism tooth and nail’ beyond the call of duty, for them war in Iraq has created more intolerance and frustration within European community immigrants, undoubtedly ‘one nation’ these North African immigrants should really be grateful to is ‘France.’ 'French Intifida' is betrayal of French policy of 'appeasement' and 'buying their quiet' at the cost of national honor. French socio-economic structure is a remnant of a socialist era and ensures that most of these immigrants exploit the loopholes within French law so as to avoid work. Much as it not much work is available, but 35 hours week, and 100 different kinds of taxes on those who work hard beyond 35 hours, plus hefty ‘chomage’ ensures these youth to play havoc with the suburbs in their leisure time. French unlike their Anglo-Saxon neighbours have been unable to get the best out of their ex-colonies, on one hand ‘India’ the jewel of the crown of British Raj is taking off to become a world class power in intellectual property rights domain and leader of service economy, part of 'Chindia' dream of global bankers and economists. French ex- colonies are struggling to even survive mired with all kind of problems. Those of them, who have come to Paris, are today talking of ‘Parisian Intifidas.’ Much as French ‘exclusion’ is blamed for less than average progress of the immigrants, it is definitely French temperament of appeasing these people which have resulted in these eruptions on lines of 'Intifida.' There is no justification of this, no reason for this, In France; it should be the 'French writ' and not the writ of Intifida. Paris is 'The city,' a city with a global heritage, if God would make any city ‘capital city’ of its heavens than Paris would be the model platter for such a city. To see this city under carnage and enveloped by the hooligans and arsonists is most excruciating. We Parisians call, it murder of a dream! We denounce it and condemn the perpetrators of these crimes. The culture of entitlements should be rejected and culture of hard work introduced in these suburban towns, these are new Harlem’s which are growing, Giuliani changed Harlem, today’s France needs some iron clad measures to put these hoodlums to work. The purpose of these riots is to teach a new lesson to the restive immigrant populations of Europe, the lesson of collective Intifida. It is a shame that of all the countries French had to suffer this fury. Where is the Margaret Thatcher of France, come on Chirac it is your call, change the face of France, bring order to our burning city. Don’t give in, these are not disgruntled youth but this is an expression of a rebellion, of a entrenched hatred of the society they live in. cybermusings.blogspot.com
