Who Will The French Surrender To?

No one can doubt that France will find some way to capitulate to the intifada raging within its borders. All that is left to the greatest minds in Gaul is how to go about surrendering to their own citizens. Surrendering is treasured tradition in France, although France’s habit of ignominious defeat has usually required at least a gesture of aggression from a foreign enemy. This time the barbarians already live within the gates and many have French citizenship.
Indeed, French President Jacques Chirac has begun to prepare his fellow countrymen for the surrender that all recognize as inevitable. Earlier this week, he was excusing the jihadists by admitting that France "has not done everything possible for these youths, supported them so they feel understood, heard and respected."
Chirac blamed his fellow Frenchmen for the "ghettoization of youths of African or North African origin" and recognized "the incapacity of French society to fully accept them."
Yep! And if only the French had been nicer to the Nazis….
Just over two weeks ago, Muslims marginalized by racism and their own self-isolation, began rioting nightly on the fringes of Paris and the fun has now spread throughout the country. Riots have even flared in other European Axis of Weasels countries like Germany and Belgium. In the fine tradition of liberalism, the rioters have been spared blame and instead elite criticism has targeted Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy for calling the lawbreakers, “scum.”
Long before this intifada gained the notice of CNN and the New York Times, or inconvenienced any tourists, it had been simmering out of sight for years. But as it was targeted almost exclusively at synagogues and Jewish delicatessens, the French elite was happy to content itself with nibbling cheese while surrendering in slow motion. Why not buy a little time for themselves by serving up its Jewish population for sacrifice?
“First, they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew…” and all that. Hey! It worked so well last time it was tried.
That the French will yield is certain. The reason that the French still celebrate Charles Martel’s victory over the Moors in 732 and Roland’s heroic defense of Charlemagne in 778 is that there has been precious little French military success to celebrate since. The closest that the French have come to victory in centuries was the French Revolution where, of course, they warred with and ultimately surrendered to themselves.
The French surrender solution of course, has already been composed in the form of the advice that the French have given to others. The French only have to reference the model for concession that they drew up for Israel while that country was suffering under a Muslim intifada of its own. In early 2000, while French foreign policy was all but cheerleading for Yasir Arafat, former French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin famously advised Israel to make peace with its rock and bomb throwers by exchanging land for peace.
Fine idea Frenchy! If such advice is good enough for Israelis, it should be just as suitable for the French. The Alsace-Lorraine region might suffice. France has surrendered it before in exchange for peace with Germany. The French only possess it now because, on two occasions, Great Britain and the United States restored it to France from Germany at the cost of their own blood and treasure. Perhaps France and Germany could both solve their little intifada problems by renouncing for all time any claim to that real estate and handing it over to their troublesome Muslim population in exchange for a promise never to firebomb another Citroen or Mercedes.
But, to actually surrender, the French might have admit who it is they’re surrendering too. As of yet, the French have shied from this.
The head of the French Police Union lamented, "it's obvious by these continuing acts of violence tonight that there is a total rupture between certain French youths and the state. There is no dialogue at all."
Certain French youth? If you’re certain of who it is, then why not say it? When one reads French official statements, one finds a reluctance to speak aloud the identity of those “certain French youth.” Lord Voldemort’s name gets more mention at Hogwarts.
Get to know your enemy Jacques. You’ll have to write it on the instruments of surrender.
