This from Front Page Mag's War Blog. This is a really hard and tough response. Sounds like he consulted with Jimmuh.

French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has a plan for stopping the orgy of destruction and violence in his country—give the rioters lots of money, preferential treatment, and expanded social services, and crack down on discrimination against them: French PM announces raft of measures for riot-hit poor suburbs.

The intiatives are:

- the creation of an anti-discrimination agency with special officials appointed to be in charge of certain regions, and making the fight against discrimination a national priority;

- 20,000 job contracts with local government bodies or associations paid a minimum wage would be reserved for those in the suburbs struggling to find work;

- an extra 100 million euros (120 million dollars) for associations that work in the neighbourhoods;

- 5,000 more teaching assistant posts in the 1,200 schools in districts designated as troublespots;

- the creation of 15 more special economic zones that provide tax breaks to companies that set up inside them as an incentive to boost local employment.

Villepin also said ‘social imbalances due to an insufficiently controlled flow of clandestine immigration’ would be tackled.

No word on whether similar handouts are planned for those who lost cars and shops at the hands of these poor disaffected youths.

The more I read about all this, I almost have to pity the average Frenchman. The Government is clueless and paralyzed. They literally have no idea what to do. The people are so dependent on the Govt. for everything, they are in a state of shock and cannot do better than have silent protest demonstrations. If this is the Socialist ideal, anarchy makes sense. France seems to have lost it's sense of what it means to exist.
