Update on the riots in France

My post this morning was wrong. There has been travel warnings for France made by a range of countries. See the WP article here and extract below:

"The U.S. Embassy warned travelers against taking trains from Paris to Charles de Gaulle International Airport because of attacks on two trains last week. The Russian Embassy established a hotline for tourists after a bus carrying Russian visitors was set afire by youths last week. No one on the bus was injured, according to news reports. The Canadian Embassy said citizens "should be extremely careful" if they have to travel through the affected areas. Britain also has issued warnings."

So if you are coming by plane to Charles de Gaulle, you should consider taking a cab or the Air France shuttle that takes the highway from the airport to downtown Paris. Do not take the RATP bus since I believe it's going through the suburbs and could be an easy target.

May be we should send the army to secure the roads to the airport as the US military does for the Baghdad International Airport highway... OK I'm being a bit ironic here with this comparison but I believe there is a strong likelihood that the military is going to be sent to the suburbs to restore calm.
