The so-called Paris intifada is not an invention of a gloating foreign press corps, thrilled that France with its deep sense of cultural superiority is getting its comeuppance.
The images of the nightly violence speak for themselves -- and the weekend's attack in central Lyon shows the country's worst case of civil unrest since World War II, or at least May 1968, is not over yet.

The Australian on the French Riots
Hillary is Running...
Traditionally, New York politicians visit the three "I's"--Ireland, Italy, and Israel--when running for office. Senator Hillary Clinton is obviously no exception. While Bush fiddles as Paris burns, hijacks Veteran's Day commemoration ceremonies for partisan political purposes, and attempts to justify secret prisons while fighting against torture bans like some Saudi prince--Hillary and Bill Clinton have been in Israel, paying tribute to Yitzhak Rabin and meeting with Ariel Sharon. Here's the Haaretz coverage. BTW: When's the last time Bush visited Jerusalem?(AP photo on Haaretz website)
