France Today

Roger L. Simon recently returned from a visit to France and had a chance to jot down in his blog some impressions regarding the political and cultural climate. Boy, he paints a gloomy present and future for the country. The economy is nose-diving while there's a violent and unchallenged upswing in anti-semitism. French electoral politics is also being strongly and negatively influenced by a burgeoning, yet segregated, Muslim population. Take a look at his entry.

Possibly more engaging is the comment thread generated by the post. Numbering well over 100, the comments must be representative of everyone who has lived in or visited France in the past thirty years. It's very interesting.
