Paris riots: "effectiveness of our ... model?"

Frecnh Prime Minister appears to be completely out of sync with reality when he said this:

"We must be lucid: The Republic is at a moment of truth," Villepin said at an impassioned parliamentary debate Tuesday where lawmakers also spoke frankly about France's failings.

"The effectiveness of our integration model is in question," the prime minister said. He called the riots "a warning" and "an appeal."

The riots are an appeal? To what? To change the model of assimilation? No, these people want power the old fashioned way, by taking it through force. Even if the French government can calm things down -- a big if -- look for this to fester for years, with some prominent Islamic country calling for "discussions" with these poor unassimilated souls with them as the "mediator".

Like Don Corleone said in the Godfather: Whoever asks for the meeting, he's the traitor.
