Oh, -Doesn't this make you Long for one of those occasional METEOROLOGICAL Heat Waves in France / Europe, -that you now and then hear of! (Care and Concern for the Hardships, Casualties, etc therein, notwithstanding.). My first thought upon seeing the title of this thread was along these lines. I thought France was having another one!
Then I soon remembered the more recent manmade carryings ons, -which in my being a considerable Francophile, -I was following with Concern and Interest.
And Not to minimize it, -but they did much the same in 68, -and Far More and Worse, -during an otherwise considerably Noble French Revolution!
And we here in America don't have an entirely Clean Slate here ourselves! Let's duly keep our own Kettle in mind, -when we call the French or anyone else's Pots Black!
On such current "Manmade Heat", -I Strongly Stand Behind and Support, -the Firm and Tuff Measures of your Villepin and Chirac, -as much as I've 180 degree Differ with them on Iraq. I've been Inspired by Chirac's statements, -that Law must have the Last Word in the Republic!, -and that there Cannot be pockets of Lawlessness therein!
I also believe in all Due Addressage, -of Legitimate French Immigrant Needs and Concerns.
It would be Interesting to see how DeGualle would Face and Handle it, -were he still around. Though he was for 1968, and that can be Instructive. (Concerning him, -I find it Neat how he specifically Stated that he wanted No Statues, Squares, Avenues, and such to be Named in his Honor! Which I certainly very much Respect! But also in how he overlooked saying anything about a Premiere, Class A, French Airport! "France Cannot be France, -without Giving it's Beloved Affection, Respect, and Honor to one as DeGualle!").
