The French will like any american actor speaking few words of french, and will love all americans which speak french

That's not as simple. Strong majority of the Frenchies both approve governmental tough action at carblasters and their families and disagree with cuts the government made in social helps to the wrecked suburbs as well as they all know that high unemployment rate is the main society illness causes.

Some geographic precisions for CNN journalists     

Lille is not on the british channel coast
Strasbourg is not Munchen in Bavaria
Toulouse is not in Switzerland
Lyon is not in Massif Central mountains
Cannes is in french riviera, not placed instead of Marseilles

The way you argue sounds like intention prosecution, I don't like it at all. You make me very angry at you.
I just say that there is a feeling that xenophobiac part of police and mainly his chief, Mr Sarkozy, have not so clean hands, manipulating opinion by letting fire go on, then playing the role of a he-man strong firemen chief, when fire spreads, this to serve his aim to be elected as "president of the republic"
Trying to understand and explain why teens went mad doesn't mean that french  population, neither I, forgive violent acts nor don't support repression.
I think that we should have sentenced to jail the violent kids' parents, as being fully responsibles for their kids behaviour, this would have stopped all firesettings by minor kids much sooner.

Rioting kids are far from being all muslims, you assimilate ordinary muslims with islamic extremists which are'nt real muslims whenever they target muslims or christians or even jews in terrorist acts, this is forbidden by Koran. Its equivalent to say that the NAZIS are the same as the democrat-socialists because they call themselves "national-socialists"

First, we'll never allow self lawying, we'll never admit any sharia court in France.
We want french laws and french police to be respected upon all the french territory. But we want a balanced police which doesn't harass anyone for the very color of one's skin.
Wealth redistribution is a poor substitute for self wealth by getting a decently paid job the government is unable to create the conditions for.
The fact is that in Aubervilliers, a place where do live lots of muslim country originated people, located half a mile from my home district, you can see the eldest ones drinking BEER or WINE, as any french citizen at the cafés terraces.

South Koreans feel as being the very same people as north Koreans.
In a poll, a slight majority of south Koreans answered that if USA was to take military action against North Korea, they would rise against USA.

When going in these wrecked suburbs with supposed to be agressive kids,
just saying them "hello" with a smile, they answer "hello, my brother"...

This is all about economics, total crisis has 3 causes :
1) Inemployment
2) Inemployment
3) Inemployment

Had parents a job, had the children a hope for a job, nothing would happen.
They just want to be as everybody, own a house, a car, be abble to get married, grow up children
This a a failure from french government, partly EU, to provide conditions for high employment rate.
I'm not a pro politician, I admit I can't say which would be these conditions.

The very tittle "Paris is burning" seen on some sites or news papers or magazines front page is caricatural.

Most of the 5000 burned cars will be paid back by insurances. What is really dramatic is the number of burned schools, to be rebuild, one factory and some shops fire dammaged which have to lock out about one hundred employees.

What compared with a single tornado wastes when reaching a small US town ?

      very coward, too  :oops:

Here, we don't send army at kids ! Most of them are teens.
Problem is that this insurgengy is spontaneous and has no real leaders.
We're strong enough to reset law and order without killing people and consider that gun shooting at kids is the deepest barbary !
And we don't need US to crush islamists in here, try and offer your violent method to the Brits, or try to protect USA against further islamists attacks.
We have defeated an islamist attack try on Paris by plane hijacking, NOT the US !
So, Mr Earthfirst, we don't need your lesson.

There is a heavy responsbility of our Security minister, Mr Sarkosy which said that he would "karcherize" suburbs. (Unlike in USA, towncenters are unhabited by rich peoples, and poor peoples are pushed away from centers)
He sanctionned police officers trying to thame teens having sports with them, and decided to set a repressive policy, displacing policemen which knew which teens were good or bad guys.
"Karcher cleaning" hurted teens pride. Many demonstrated or rioted saying "we aren't cockroaches to be that treated".
But don't mistake, in spite of some racist behaviour, french police roughness would seem very very soft compared with US police brutality at black citizens.

Propaganda... as well as USA supposed to be the country of Freedom. (Maybe sometimes, US women will no more be free to abort)

You should know that Frenchies never eat at work, so chewing time isn't accounted in working hours , that french working hours productivity is among the worlds' highest. French workers have cut hollydays time in shorter periods, one  whole week each three monthes so that with more relaxing time, that increases working time productivity. But frenchies' annual working time is equal to average european annual working time.
Our country suffers high unemployment rate as well as inadequation of working talents with job proposals. We score a lot of litterature and social sciences high graduates which refuse to work in building industry, computer industry, which lack workers and have to import immigrant workers.
Tradition is to have a centralized power which take all decisions, organise Science and Research so that private enterprises have weak Rn'D departments.

French economy isn't so bad, for instance Renault, after having taken control of Nissan and brought Nissan back to benefits, might try to take control of GM.
French enterprises have high benefit ratios, and the unemployment rate is very slowly decreasing, but largely not enough.
Problem is our heavy bureaucracy, almost heavier than the former red states one, lack of banks boldness which do not fund and help emerging enterprises, so that creating an enterprise is a very tough job in France.

A dude french Foreign Legion soldier arrives in a casern in Sahara desert.
The place officer welcomes him, makes him visit the casern, shows him all commodities, the mess, his dormitory place.
Soldier asks : "huh, Captain, and for sex ?"
Says the officer: "That's what camels are here for, too"
One night, as the officer rounds up for survey, he sees the soldier, up on a bench, trousers down on shoes, behind a camel.
"WHAT THE HELL are you doing soldier ?
-"But you told me...camels...sex..."
-"RIDE A CAMEL and go to downtown brothel, YOU STUPID !"

Thanks SpaceNut.
In the links you set,

This turns the space elevator laser beam power supply to a day dreamer fantasm.

Ze second A-380 Airbus prototype took air zis morning.
Wizz an all froggy logic, it will be numbered "04" 
Tests will be carried on very cold taking off and landing conditions.

LO

So, its mean that the space elevator isn't geostationnary, such as the SE earth station should be mobile   and abble to fly over mountains 

A nuclear reactor ? That isn't simple nuke powered batteries.
Do you know how heavy is a "nuclear reactor" ? Is it included in the costs prevision ?
