What's this?

Dominique de Villepin talking tough- and to Muslims, at that?!

The Islamic rioting- caused because two Muslim boys, fleeing from police pursuing them on suspicion of having committed a series of burglaries sought refuge in a station and were electricuted as a result of their own poor judgment- has spread to the suburbs of Paris. It's been going on for over a week.

Another government official who dared speak harshly about the rioters earlier this week underwent widespread criticism for being a meanie.
