Teacher Jailed In Sudan

The teacher who got into trouble for calling a teddy Mohammad is going to jail, for 15 days. It's like sending someone to jail for calling a teddy bear Jesus. There are people called Jesus, and it's ok to call a teddy bear Jesus. But they chose to misinterpret her actions. So it's jail and deportation.

The lesson here is that just because you're in a country to help and do good, don't expect that to count for anything. The sacrifice may go beyond just your time. Also, it seems that volunteers seem to get a raw deal in countries of a particular religion. So, don't complain if something happens to you. Nobody asked you to go there.

More Injuries

5 French policemen in critical condition. When is Sarkozy going to wake up and authorize proper force? Hooligans must be dealt with firmly - with a bullet or two.

Rioting In France

I get the feeling that the police in France are hamstrung. When it comes to hooligans and law-breakers, they should impose a curfew, shoot first and ask questions later. If you don't want to kill, shoot the legs. I really hate these liberal democracies. Shit.
I wouldn't be surprised if the police didn't stop to render assistance. They would have been attacked by residents. They did the right thing.
