Bush Responsible for French Riots Chron Watch ^ \| 11/7/05 \| Jeremy Robb PARIS, France --- French officials have finally determined the reason for the terrible riots taking place there: George Bush. "We have determined that George Bush is responsible for the riots here," said Pepe Le Pants of the French government. "People are very upset that he did not appoint a Hispanic lesbian Communist to the Supreme Court and instead appointed yet another white male. We also think he sent some Katrina refugees here who are continuing their looting and violence thanks to American racism. Bush will stop at nothing to destroy the world. We suspect Bush is also responsible for our 23% unemployment rate amongst youth, but we haven't quite made the connection yet. But very soon I have no doubt we will."

French Muslim rioters misunderstood, just want to be loved .............................................................. Stingray \| November 7, 2005 \| Michael McCullough The Washington Post headline: Rage of French Youth is a Fight for Recognition. Apparently all these rioters just want attention. The poor young things feel rejected by a cold and callous society: "We feel rejected, compared to the kids who live in better neighborhoods," said Nasim, a chunky 16-year-old with braces and acne. "Everything here is broken down and abandoned. There's no place for the little kids to go." I had acne, too, when I was 16. But you know what? My parents were the intolerant sort who frowned on the idea of me burning down cars and schools and shooting at police officers. "We want to change the government," he said, a black baseball cap pulled low over large, chocolate-brown eyes and an ebony face. "There's no way of getting their attention. The only way to communicate is by burning." ... "It's not a political revolution or a Muslim revolution," said Rezzoug. "There's a lot of rage. Through this burning, they're saying, 'I exist, I'm here.' " Oh, yeah? So how many Lutherans are starting fires in Paris?
