"Watergate a la Francais"

Kickbacks hidden in secret Luxembourg accounts from billion dollar frigate sales to Taiwan in 1991 linked to former french prime minister Mr. de Villepin. Apparently the president is on the front line urging the case.

Technically the french government has the jurisdiction and right to contain and or kick-out illegal immigrants, but it makes you wonder, how great of a job can the western powers be doing in rebuilding these war torn countries that thousands of people are fleeing them and how difficult is it to attain a french citizenship or citizenship to any "first world" western country when your from Iraq or Afghanistan.

Seems the "french communist political party" finds Islam to be a threat. From what I gather its not the Niqab or the Burqa that keeps them trembling in their boots at night but the possibility of a hierarchical religion in the country of France. They have taken the stance that all Muslim women seem to be slaves to their husbands and therefore the religon must be silenced/ outlawed/removed etc. However don't you think more french muslim women would be coming out and complaining to the public if their lives were so miserable. Seems the French president is supporting this notion as well.

I have decided to use a blog as the medium for my log.
I will be researching the country of France because I A) speak basic french, B) will be traveling there soon and C) Have family in France
