STINKIN' IMMIGRANTS:

Strike cripples French railways (BBC, 11/22/05)

Rail workers in France have begun a national strike, crippling the rail network for at least 24 hours.

As many as two-thirds of trains stopped running as commuters tried return home on Monday night.

Unions are striking to protest against any privatisation of the rail network, despite government assurances.


France's Muslim youth won't destroy the nation, just deliver the coup de grace.

Perhaps Sarkozy could offer to replace all the transit employees with immigrants. After 2 or 3 months of rough going, it should work out fine.

What hope is there for a country where unions have this much power amidst double-digit unemployment?
