Commentary, World Views and Occasional Rants from a small 'l' libertarian in Massachussetts

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Just how bad is it in France right now? I remember shortly after September 11th when all of the multi-culturalists were apprehensive that it would result in a huge backlash against Muslims and Arabs here in America. After all, the average benighted American couldn't possibly understand that the Muslim or Arab person that they saw on Newbury St. wasn't responsibe for the attacks. Surely the average American would be clamoring for putting Arabs and Muslims into camps. Where are the same people telling France that they have to understand that the Jewish guys playing soccer across the street aren't responsible for what is happeing in the West Bank (Arafat is)? Where are American scholars getting on TV and writing in newspapers that the French must be careful to protect the Jewish people among them?
