In remarkably frank language to a French Parliamentary commission, Mr Calvar said that a serious incident could 'light the powder, transforming France into an uncontrollable country, where groups take up arms and hand out their own justice'.
Umm, good? If the government fails because it's too paralyzed by the meaningless and endless debates of dilettantes then it becomes incumbent upon the citizens, especially in the military and police, to take action to save the nation and state. The last time the French had a do-nothing government that was shocked into inaction by the attack of an enemy was in June 1940 when upper-rank paralysis, more than anything else at that moment, led to the defeat at the hands of Nazi Germany. If the French don't stand up soon and make the government take action it'll be a slow-motion repeat of that time in history.
The French can survive a rapid replacement of government, and a short period of being under the control of a strongman. They've done it before and the essential nature of their country wasn't lost. But if they don't do something soon about the enemy within these attacks will keep happening. Their decision, their country, but it would be a massive loss to the entire world of the last 1400 years of their civilization was lost simply because they were too scared of being seen as the bad guys in liberal eyes and let a pack of lower-than-dogshit barbarians take them down.
