The riots in France should be a warning to Europe and the rest of the world that the Islamic radicals, or I should say, Islamic terrorists, are bent on tearing down global democracies.

As is the case in most anti-war and anti-democratic demonstrations that frequently lead to violence, the vandals that are rioting care nothing of rational dissent. These “disaffected youths,” as the news media calls them, who are living on government handouts taken from French taxpayers, just need an excuse for their lawlessness and, as usual, the Islamic terrorists are taking advantage of their ignorance and anger.

Believing that these attacks are not spontaneous, I fear that our mainstream media, in its hostility towards President Bush, is blind to, or does not want to acknowledge, the true intent of the Islamic terrorists throughout the world. They are all of one mind: to destroy Western civilization, and appeasing them only shows weakness and helps fuel their assault on the free world.

We are in a world war that will take many years to end and I still feel that President Bush is correct in his agenda on fighting global terrorism.
