I am not going searching for an unidentified article and then attempt to complete an argument that neither you nor Judy seem able to make. It's a bit difficult to make an argument, Lawrence, when facts about France that are normally thought to require no reference (I mean, of course, those pertaining to its "anti-multicultural" character -- at the national level, and in principle, anyway) are met by you with a re-assertion of France's "multiculturalism!".
