From what I understand, the problem that France is having is mass Arab and Muslim mirgation (not takeover). Because many of the French are opposed to this change in demographic, they've been taking subtle descriminatory actions against the new inhabitants Muslims there protest because they're being labled, targeted, and profiled. It's not much different than what we've done over here in the States in the past to Jews, Blacks, Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans, et cetera. Because of a nations fear, ignorance, or even wit and knowledge, it makes it difficult or uncomfortable for those who are unwanted, to be inhabitants.
"Jihad" isn't what was stated a few posts above this one ^^^. The media has done a great job at getting us all to completely misunderstand the term.
Lets say, Martians descended upon the US and attacked, killing the President, government officials, destrying all government buildings, and completely crippling the nation, but American soldiers continued to fight the Martians, knowing that they'd probably die, because it would be better to die knowing that they tried their hardest to save their country, rather than concieding to a Martian regime that just destroyed everything they knew and loved. <-- That would be the equivalent of "Jihad". Terrorism is not Jihad. Hostile takeover is not Jihad. Those people are separate entities from anyone who believes in Jihad.
As far as putting an abrupt end to things over there did I read something about 'Ethnic Cleansing' ? Wow. War would have ended years ago if the US didn't continue to supply nations with bombs, guns, tanks, and war jets.
Terrorists have problems with themselves, and lots of major countries.
The US is having lots of problems with major countries.
But Arabs? Arabs don't seem to have too many problems with anyone. It seems moreso to be lots of internal conflict. If we didn't make their problems our concern, they would have had a survival of the fittest death match, a few nations would have come out on top, and all this would have been over with years ago. Of course, we have to make their problems our concern...

From what's being reported, the US Gov't is supposedly taking a bit more hands-off approach to the current conflict between Israel and Lebanon. Hopefully that turns out in our favor. We already have too many other issues on our plate.
