Paris — French President Jacques Chirac on Sunday promised arrests, trials and punishment for those sowing "violence or fear" across France — as the urban unrest that has triggered attacks on vehicles, nursery schools and other targets hit central Paris for the first time.

Youths set ablaze nearly 1,300 vehicles and torched businesses, schools and symbols of French authority, including post offices and provincial police stations, on the 10th consecutive night of unrest.

Michael McCafferty comments:

The 'liberal' media would have us believe that the riots in France are being carried out by French young people. Techincally they are correct. The reality is these youths are Muslims
who have not assimilated into French society.

President Jacques Chirac must stand up for France and law and order. To do anything less would be a failure and admission of weakness on the part of President Chirac and indeed France.
