Are the French Waking Up?

France, French

Somewhat off my usual topics, I saw online that French farmers burned a tax office and French planes bombed ISIS fighters:

About 100 farmers descended first on an insurance office, which they burned and completely destroyed before driving their tractors to the main tax office where they dumped unsold vegetables and set the building on fire. French media reports said the farmers blocked traffic, which kept rescue workers from extinguishing the fire.

And

French jets struck a suspected Islamic State target in Iraq for the first time on Friday, expanding a U.S.-led military campaign against militants who have seized a third of the country and also control large parts of neighboring Syria.

Perhaps some day Americans will wake up and burn down a IRS office? And defend our borders too? If the socialist French can act, who knows, anything is possible.
