I keep the basic facts in my head and ignore the speeches, basically the Iranians, Lebanese and the Syrians started the War with Israel, and no amount of talking and propaganda is going to make me believe that the Israelis are responsible for that war. The Muslims have the Jews outnumbered by a considerable amount, hence the Israelis first priority is toward survival, with sparing the civilian lives of their attacking enemies being a distant second. The Israelis certainly cannot afford to lose one soldier for every terrorist they kill, it is simple mathmatics, hence they will want to use weapons that keep their enemy at a distance, these weapons unfortunately also kill some civilians, but Israel didn't start this war.

The modern state of Israel has been at war with its neighbors literally since day one.  To speak of who "started" the most recent action is ludicrous.

If you assign a Muslim Family to live next to a Jewish one and you do it on a large scale, you are going to get lots of violence against Jews in France.

Missed ! You don't know how things happened here. The Jews in Paris were the first to gather as a communitarian society, the first to dress up with kippas and recognizable community clothes, up to the eighties, they didn't show they were Jews, they are partly responsible for the muslim response with dressing themselves up to show they are muslims

Socialist revolutions have produced a number of results, some of them were tyrannies, and others were simply inefficiently run democracies. Part of the Muslim riots in France are due to the socialist economy's inability to provide jobs for them as you said. Socialism is simply when the state does things that private enterprise ought to do.

Riots happened under a rightist regime whose economic efficiency hasn't been better than socialists, even worse.
Since we have not anymore a socialist governement, employment rate didn't improve by other means than retreating babyboomers as right now.

Private enterprises do take care only on profits, you see in USA that almost no investments have been done on electric supply for years and that states are more interested in supplying cheap power than private enterprises, because private electricity supply relies either on big monopolies, either on small ones, as well as railways networks.
We had a very performing electricity public service which supplied France with the cheapest electrity in Europe, and a governmental responsability on nuclear safety. We have the lowest confidence on private managers which will choose benefits rather than suppluying safe and cheap electricity.

In America, we get to choose our power companies, they provide power to the electrical grid and their customers take power off the grid. the only physical monopoly is the grid itself, and that is maintained in much the same way that a highway system is, while private trucking companies operate off of it. If France is supplying electricity to its customers at below cost, then that only means that you are paying for the electricity in other ways other than through your electric bill, maybe via taxes for instance. A compedative system does provide incentives to producers to reduce costs. The customer goes to the cheapest source, and those that can't price their products compedatively go out of business.

If France needs cheap workers, and it seems unable to employ those it has already got, it should look elsewhere for them other than North Africa or the Middle East.

You'd better read news instead of saying false things, we are part of Europe, and cheap workers are now easterner Europeans. The ones coming from North Africa are clandestine, just as you have mex clandestines.

There actions can certainly result in the deaths of American citizens,

This is again your premptive theory, as long as these leaders have done nothing that threats USA or US citizens, they have the right to lead their own policy

...Persians and Arabs either other than their unfortunate tendency to fight each other rather than concentrate their attacks on Americans and Jews.

Israel is the Islamoterrorist's "best friend," isn't it?  Israel's existence has kept them in business all these decades. 

Yes, Israel is a convenient red flag for hatemongers to wave around in order to stir up passions, incite riots and violence, etc.  They need Israel.

If Mahmoud Imanutjob (nods to Cobra) would succeed in wiping Israel off the map, the Islamoterrorists would soon find something else to carp on and on about to further their genocidal cause.

the problem is they are Arabs,

Iranians aren't arabs, iranian isnt' an arab language, you'd better go back to school take some geography and foreign civilisations lessons

I suspect people would get used to the gravity in a month or two and wouldn't bump into things. You would adjust so that your speed doing things is appropriate, just as you do in the winter on snowy and slippery sidewalks (which are probably equivalent to a lower-g environment than Mars, in terms of friction and horizontal movement).

Your scenario above makes Mars into a gigantic US-style suburb. But there is no reason to separate developments by long stretches of desert;

The riots in french suburbs have nothing to do with Islam, that's youth riots against police harrassment ! I do work in these suburbs, 100% pure french and non muslims youngsters took part to the riots as well.
This is an economic problem with half of the men and boys under 30 having no jobs in these areas, except for drug dealing; with the babyboomers getting off the jobs  market, more of the youngsters find a job, less jobless people, less poverty, less young dealers, less rioters.

Don't mix social problems with ethnic problems.
We have no ethnically pure districts here in France, unlike some places in England or USA, these french surburb areas are ethnically mixed because they are results of cheap housing schemes where appartments are assigned to peoples on waiting lists depending of families incomes and needs, no matter which colours are.
Then in the same flats of houses you find Frenches, animist black Africans, north african Arabs, Chineses, or all originated peoples and teens and youngters gather in local gangs if any, not in ethnic gangs.

Just a hanfull french muslims protested against french news papers which publicated Muhammad's cartoons, some tryed to make a case, but justice dismissed their complains

The exact same thing Kruschev has done, try to spread nuclear weapons to our enemies. In the case of Kruschev it was the Cuban Missile Crisis, it the case of Vladimir Putin it was Iran. They have done nothing but obstruct our efforts to curtail Iran's nuclear bomb program, and they have also sold Iran some air defenses that may cost US airmen their lives if ever they get called upon to take out Iran's nuclear bomb production facilities. Supplying our enemies is a hostile and unfriendly act.

I think that Iran is your ennemy because you said so and support Israel. Iranians just want to try to live, USA and France supported the Saddam's war lead at Iran, for them, we are the ennemy

Is this some kind of your threat against democratically elected leaders which offend your own peculiar sense of bringing democracy and welfare at peoples ?

If democratically elected Germany were to invade France, wouldn't you want to make them sorry they did so? Democracy makes the people responsible for their own government's behavior. If the German people decide that the French should be German, you would be perfectly within your rights to show the German people the error of their ways. Do you disagree with me in this?

Do Chavez, Vázquez or Morales represent a threat at USA, or do they just want to take control of their countrie's economy, which doesn't please you ?

It's under 5% of muslim minorities which make troubles trying to involve religion with politics, there is no vacuum, large majority of muslims want free religion practices under the actual laws protrection

If that 5% causes so much rioting, then that 5% is too much. Other populations don't have the bahaviour problems that many Muslim groups do. If they can't control their 5% then they should not be in France, they should instead stay in their own country and solve their own societal problems rather than bring them to yours. 5% is also enough to threaten free speech with mafia-like threats to newspapers and cartoon editors. You don't have to accept every body who wants asylum, just like you don't have to accept everyone who is trying to escape dealy and contageous diseases in their own country - as they might bring those same diseases to France. I consider terrorists and rioting as a sort of disease. if other countries have these problems, I certainly don't want to bring those same problems to my country.

Peoples born in France are french, quite the same in USA, you don't send muslim black Us offender citizens back to Africa, but to jail, just as we do.
You had, you can have again ethnical riots in USA.
Jailing is expensive, and if they insist that all French Citizens be Muslim or they refuse to adapt to French Culture, I would ship them out. If in their hearts and minds they are nt French regardless of which country they were born in, they do not belong there.

Ethnic minorities have cause untold suffering throughout Europe for centuries, they have been the excuses for wars that never seem to end. I would have solved the Northern Ireland problem by relocating ethnic Irish people into Ireland proper, instead of letting the conflict fester. make sure the proper national groups reside within their own borders so they don't remain the cause of festering wars.

Irishes have no more rights to tell to five centuries english or protestant descendants to go back to England than anybody as well as the opposite.
Intelligence is to live with peoples in regard of each own qualities and flaws

That is the ideal solution, but it has not worked, you can't expect just to wave your hands and say, "Now get along children," and expect them to listen to you. I have no patience for generations long conflicts, I don't like to see them fester indefinitely. If it requires forced relocations to stop these conflicts the long term gains in peace outweigh the short term pain and hardship imposed by these forced locations. I remind you that many Germans were forced to relocate after World War II, I don't see why this solution can not be applied to Northern Irish people who do not get along, or to the Palestinians for that matter. Who's cause is right or wrong is not as important as ending the conflict and moving on. If injustices are committed in this, well how much injustice is there in permitting a generations long conflict to fester and make victims out of new generations of people that are born into it. Isn't it better if they are born somewhere else and are allowed to live in peace?

Poland was also allied with France and England prior to World War II, didn't count for much as far as they were concerned, they ended up being occupied by the Soviets. It was the Soviets that ruined the idea of Socialism to me, it was their tendency to impose their ideas on other countries, collectivise their farms and send people who didn't agree with them to Siberia, that makes the left wing ideas suspect to me. The Bolsheviks gave a historical lesson to the World to beware of liberal ideas, and how the ideals of equality and social justice can lead to war, mass murder and violence.

You're mistaking, Great Britain and France declared war at Germany the days following the invasion fo Poland. We didn't win.
And french left wing leaders, President Mitterand was one, didn't not turn France into a stalinist dictatorship and no gulags were created

Socialist revolutions have produced a number of results, some of them were tyrannies, and others were simply inefficiently run democracies. Part of the Muslim riots in France are due to the socialist economy's inability to provide jobs for them as you said. Socialism is simply when the state does things that private enterprise ought to do. In a purely socialist system the government controls all forms of employment, it does not levy taxes as it simply finances itself from the profits of all the goods and services it offers from all the people it employs offering them.  Government doesn't compete against itself and it has laws protecting it from competions and it takes care of its compedators by simply arresting them for violating the law or by not permmiting them to ship their goods into the country. therefore more efficient means of doing things in government run industries are not sufficintly appreciated and not automatically impements as a way or reducing costs., since their primary concern is emplyment and not production, this produces shortages of good and lines at the stores. Customer service is rather spotty and people who work their are not under pressure for fear of losing their jobs. If customers annoy them, they just tell them to go away and they close the store for a lunch break. i wish I had a job like that, but not many of such jobs are offered in the Capitalist system.
