Paris is burning

I pulled this section from the article to highlight a dangerous aspect of the issue: ignorance. Do they really believe that their little poll means jack shit when Paris and the surrounding regions are burning? France needs to remove its head out of the sand and their ass and start dealing with their problems. They may be able to run and hide from everything else in the world, but they cannot run away from their own house.

Mr Sarkozy's oft-cited description of urban vandals as "rabble" (racaille) a few days before the riots began is said by many to have fuelled tensions.

Reports of a police tear gas grenade hitting a mosque during the riots further inflamed feelings.

Despite the controversy over Mr Sarkozy's remarks, a CSA opinion poll published in Le Parisien at the weekend showed him with a nationwide approval rating of 57%.
