France continues to amaze me. It is becoming an increasingly paternal state with the burka law and now this. The state is making a habit of stripping individual rights in the name of nebulous ideals.  View

Nuclear energy has come a long way since Three Mile Island. The majority of France and Belgium's energy comes from nuclear power. At this point, it's the most viable solution for an alternative energy source, as wind, solar, geo-thermal, etc. haven't made enough strides to support the demand. And as far as the waste nuclear creates...there's always space!  View

Baradar is certainly a significant figure in terms of the Taliban, and I would agree that his capture means the U.S. and Pakistani governments are working together closely. Otherwise, I doubt the U.S. could have obtained the necessary intelligence for catching such a high-level leader in the Taliban world. As far as France 24's questions as to whether this is negative for any potential Afghan-Taliban peace discussions, it could very well be. Then again, there is no assurance that such talks would really happen and truly hold if they did. It's an extremely tough call, and there are plenty of lives at stake.  View

The US did the exact same thing to its soldiers! It is a shame and perhaps they did not know what the side effects, but France is known for their quality education system, so this ignorance questionable.  View

I lived in europe (France) when the euro was adopted. A single currency has been good for europe however it comes with conditions, one of them being, national debt targets and responsible goverence by member states. This can only be accomplished if citizens recognize and embrace the need to meet these objectives. Failure to do so will mean a return to an even worse situation for Greece. Economic exclusion from europe.  View

France is a very secular state, but is also experiencing a huge increase in its Muslim population. It seems that the French Government is not helping its Muslim citizens integrate with laws like this. I've always thought that France was a more "liberal" state than America, but a ban on an article of clothing would never pass 1st amendment considerations here.  View

This is no different from the government saying that you can't wear "turtlenecks" or the color "yellow" or insert any noun. The activists on the BBC hit the nail on the head...saying that the government should not legislate on what women can or cannot wear. France often prides itself on being progressive and welcoming - this is talking two steps back.  View

Everybody knows how France and specially Thierry Henry always cheat. I was not suprise.  View
