The French set fire to anything that stays still. A "protest" isn't a protest without some burning cars. And I'm talking old crates, not just flash Mercedes.

But I admit I admire the French for the way they protest. I wouldn't want to live there, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere apart from here. Their political zeal (check out the voting turnout!) and their desire to stay French appeal to me. The way that clashes with immigrants from their former colonies does not.

Then again I can't think of any country that has it right - European or otherwise. Japan and America have similar problems.
