Wonders Never Cease

I actually agree with Jack Kelly.

In particular, this line stands out to me:

A commenter on the Web log "Belmont Club" thinks this focus is a clever form of brinkmanship. Car burning is spectacular, but not serious enough to provoke lethal force, especially from a French government loathe to use it.

As it is sort of the other side of a pint I made:

It occurs to me that the reason that the French have rolled over so much in response to these riots is probably because so far, most of the damage seems to be to property, and there have been relatively few casualties (one or two deaths, I believe, and a smattering of woundings).

That is all.
