France struggling to surrender

Matthew writes: Seeking to quell twelve consecutive nights of rioting, French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has offered an unconditional surrender to whoever will accept it.
“We have done our part, we have offered this olive branch. But there seems to be nobody in charge of this army of youths. We cannot determine to whom we should surrender. It’s a unique situation.”
“We are advising French citizens to stay indoors, say goodbye to your cars, and wait until the rioting has become organized enough to show signs of a hierarchical organization. This may take another week or two. Once a strong-man has appeared, or at least a media spokesperson, the government is prepared to surrender unconditionally.”

If only any politician, “amateur” in that case (never been elected, he did not candidate though) or professionnal, could admit his defeat and his error.
What make me prefer chirac to any young outlaws is the softness ; it is better to be stolen by someone that use and keep your things than by a fool that burn them.
1- the 1st (minister ?) could give something back from time to time. What is burnt is never back.
2- those who burn have a strong tendancy to kick and chop also. And it globally hurts to be kicked and chopped.
3- SInce CHirac is tall and intelligent ( the proof ? he is graduate from ENA, the top school for administration =+/- management for “les français”, let them dream) ; so since he is so clever it is less humiliating for one to be fooled by him.
hoooops I just realized US of America people have been fooled by GEorges W BUsh ; I am sos sorry for your pride ;o)

1) Burning merely speeds the carbon cycle
2) I'd rather be kicked or even chopped, thank you
3) George Bush graduated from Yale
Face it–your President sucks every bit as much as ours does.
