No, not us...that was the United States!

The French evidentally think that this violence can't happen to them...

"The Foreign Ministry said it was concerned that foreign media coverage was exaggerating the situation. “I don’t have the feeling that foreign tourists in Paris are in any way placed in danger by these events,” ministry spokesman Jean-Baptiste Mattei said, adding that officials were “sometimes a bit surprised” by the foreign coverage."

Yep, you don't want Ma and Pa Kettle from the US to rethink those Paris vacation plans....what with the rioting "A-Rabs" and all....

(to the tune of Rawhide)

Flowing, Flowing, Flowing

Though the streets are glowing

Keep those tourists flowing

Run and Hide!

This little quote brings to mind the Iraqi Information Minister telling folks there were no Americans in Iraq....when the US tanks were rolling in behind him....

No, this is not happening! This kind of thing cannot happen in France....I think that was the US that they were talking about!

I do like the quote from Justice Minister Pascal Clement, who deplored the dousing with gas and burning of a 50 year old, handicapped woman saying that it caused him “great emotion."

I do so love the French....
