As riots in Paris go into their second week, become more violent (rioters are shooting at police and firefighters) and widespread (they are attacking trains), it's fair to say that the French now have their own intifada.
Let us recall the statesmanlike foresight of Jacques Chirac in opposing the American invasion of Iraq and the observation that the Americans would face the wrath of the Islamic world as a result of the invasion, while opponents of the war would not. We now see how that's working out.
We seem to recall Churchill making remarks about such matters, right after Chamberlain returned from Munich.
