Intifada Spread To Lyon

While violence subsides a bit in Paris, it worsens in France's second largest city, Lyon.

Ten people were arrested in France's second city after 50 youths attacked stalls and damaged vehicles, police and witnesses said, adding that the situation later calmed down.

After violence rose slightly on Friday, the 16th night of clashes, regional authorities for the first time declared a curfew for minors in Lyon, a city of 1.2 million southeast of Paris.


And this is interesting, the French have less confidence in their appeaser in chief than they do in his tough guy interior minister, 53% to 29%.
