French Riots Winding Down as Only 342 Cars Torched

The riots in France have lasted for over 2-weeks now with almost 10,000 automobiles torched and set fire and over 200,000 Molotov Cocktails thrown starting fires. Over 300 towns throughout France received widespread damage. The suburbs of Paris received the brunt of the civil unrest in the Socialist Country.

The police and firemen have been attacked and many emergency vehicles have also been destroyed. The mostly Muslim Rioters claim that there is little or no opportunity for them in France citing the unemployment rates amongst that segment of the population over forty percent while in the United States it is barely 6 to 7 percent.

France has been very critical of the United States and Capitalism. Most of this is said to be from a deep resentment of the American Economic Engines say a few political analysts and economists. Luckily despite France s dire economic outlook and failing government, they now have brought the Riots under control.

Americans watching France burn to the ground have been critical of France s media attack on the United States and say it serves them right. Although France is quick to point out that Americans have rioted too. Today the Politicians of France are reporting that the French Riots of 2005 are now winding down, as only 342 cars had been torched the night before.

Many reporters say this number is highly unsubstantiated and is more likely double that figure. Historians of civil unrest, political and social sciences quickly point out that in no riot in the United States History has the number of cars torched reached even 10% of the number in the 2005 French riots. This fact has prompted many to ask; is France Dead? Is this their final stand.

Such an Old Country with so much history and knowledge; is it finally over and with it; Is Socialism finally proven to be unworkable as a method of running a civilization, much the same as Communism in the old USSR? Is France finally ready to throw in the towel as its organizational theory crumbles? Think on this.
