London Is Burning

Well, not tonight, anyway.  The Wall Street Journal gives its take on the London riots,

"But these are not 18th-century sans-culottes, run out of bread.  They aren't even Greek communists destroying property in order to demand the continuation of their welfare state.  It is hooliganism pure and simple.  If it serves as a wake up call, it should be to the fact that the veneer of civilization can be terrifyingly thin."
