"Kidnappings Backfire On Iraq Militants"
Sweeping differences under the carpet doesn't work, because it doesn't make them go away. I understand that the French government has good intentions, but you can't reduce volatility in a multicultural society by making people pretend they're all the same. It's going to build a society that's less able to deal with further cultural evolution.

Would you be in favor of such a regulation here in America, then?

I wouldn't suport it, but I see the point behind it. something like english being 'officaly' made the offical language I wouldn't have a problem with. aparently most French are in support of this and that's all that matters realy, you don't hear me going on about Hugo Chavez do you? I don't like the guy, but most Venezuelans aparently do, it's there country, it's there choice. if the french think that certan citizens within there nation are acting in a manner that goes against there national identity and they think this will corect it why tell them no?

Well I don't think that we have any right to do anything about it. The government does, of course, have the right to pass whatever regulations it wants to. I'm simply expressing that I think it's the wrong decision. I think for a society to be free, the idea of national identity has to be abandoned because cultures aren't static; they evolve as they interact. I just hope that this isn't the direction in which France continues to move.
