Wow!
What a refreshing change from the usual refrain of "death to America" and "death to Israel."
The ruling elite in France have lined up solidly behind the Charlie Hebdo crowd to proclaim the primacy of freedom of speech over all. They have already ordered the temporary closure of French embassies in twenty countries in anticipation of widespread anti-France hooliganism in those Muslim nations.
And it is not as though the primacy of free speech in France is without limits. Were you to question, as a matter of free speech, certain aspects of French history circa WWII, you would find very quickly that the same legislators who are willing to close embassies will close ranks to deny your freedom of speech.
These are of course the same people who continue to deny their genocidal terror campaign against Algeria while simultaneously prattling about the misdeeds of the Assad regime in Syria.
Whatever hopes one might have harbored with the ascent of a "socialist" to the Elysee Palace can be safely laid to rest by now.
