Although you point certainly has value.<BR/><BR/>My thought was that the French Government (hereafter referred to as "elected weenies") was trying to prevent any recording of their Crepe Stormtroopers dealing with the rioters using excessive violence. It was just such a incident that has made Rodney King famous, and generated a lot of hatred and violence from the masses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-76641084691937008652007-03-07T07:58:00.000-06:002007-03-07T07:58:00.000-06:00See?

In his great book, Anti-Americanism, (an outstanding pro US book by that rarest of French/Europeans, an Ameriphile, rather than an Ameriphobe, & no, I don't consider the Brits, et al, Europeans)author Jean-Francois Revel writes of a French civic leader judging 'progress' as 20 less cars burned on a certain day than the year before.
