I overheard on NPR, news anchors touched upon this question 'Will French government call on the Army if French Police can no longer control the situation'. I wonder if there's any merit to suggest a comparison between Chinese students 'TianAnmen' protest in 1989 with French's current disturbance caused by frustrated youth?
I beg your pardon for asking the question as i just happened to leaf through this pile http://www.hjclub.com/BBS_wenji.asp?Author=97 of materials on the Chinese 1989 events.
