...born and raised in France. I've been a citizen since birth. How much more French can I be? And there are many more people like me, not just Muslims but blacks, Asians and South Asians. It's time for the French to reject those outdated labels. And it's time for minorities to reject the cult of victimization too. Things aren't perfect. There are a lot of problems. Those problems exploded last week, unleashing the long-held resentment of people who feel unwanted, scorned and swept into the margins like so much trash. To change that...

...featured Amsterdam mayor Job Cohen [Oct. 10]. That is too much praise for a man who is mainly known for his prevarication and tardy approach to very real problems that affect this city. It is important to realize that in Holland, mayors are appointed by the crown. The good citizens of Amsterdam are thus not allowed to vote for their first citizen, and they instead got a refugee from the political establishment who needed a place to hide. After filmmaker Theo van Gogh was assassinated, it took Cohen hours to make his first move. Cohen's career is based...
