French Antagonism Could Go Civil

2 news posts in 2 days, who knew[s]?

France isn't slowing down on its antagonism of Iran.

Given my limited understanding of French population and culture these days, it seems more than possible that a French military campaign against an Islamic opponent could spark civil war between loyalists, pacifists, fundamentalists, and the devout of more than one religion.

I have no idea how those subsets would divide and align, but violence, and perhaps extended organized violence, seems a probable outcome of the present administration's efforts.

Which I suppose might mean Europe, the EU, and the Middle East could all blow up. Surely we must expect Antichrist to poke his head up at any time?

Well, hopefully not Antichrist, but the conditions all of a sudden look ripe for yet another huge-scale clash of West and Middle East, and this time the conflict could include a heckuva lot more warfare on the turf of Western Europe.

Joips, Scoob! It would be nice to learn that I'm way over-imagining the possibilities here.
