This might sound like some kind of wild theory (because it is) but I think the US automakers are going to be blamed for the rioting in France. Here’s my theory, remember this isn’t something that is going to be mainstream its going to be the Moveon.org and Cynthia Mckinney type thing put out there. I’ve read that in France just this year there have been over 29,000 cars burned this year. Get something like this rioting started and that number could jump to 100,000. 3000 cars have been burned in the last 12 days not counting last night. That’s a lot of cars. Production of the Mustang in America is less than 100,000 and that’s there most popular model this year. Think what that could do for an automaker. Nowadays many European cars are made by companies that are American. Ford owns Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo and GM owns Holden, Opel, Vauxhall and Saab. If these people are willing to believe that we allowed terrorists to attack our own people on September 11th. How easy it would be for them to believe that we incited the riots in France.
