Likeitiz says: “We need to unite and be an even greater global force many times over than what we are facing. Can we spare some of our individual freedoms for now to make this possible? For the greater good? Can we be kins long enough to overwhelm this gigantic pustule that’s been pulsating and enlarging over in the middle east, threatening to spew its putrid doctrines to contaminate the rest of the world?”
Please read her blog. I think it is very well written and makes you think about a lot of things after the Paris attacks.
I just looked up a bit about the history of the Marseillaise in Wikipedia. This is quite interesting! You can see it here:

I have the same question: Why doesn’t it?
So well said! Thank you for sharing this thoughtful article, Uta.
I like French language and of course also their singing, especially Edith Piaf.
Interesting how the media repeatedly tells us to mourn the French victims in Paris – but not the Russian civilians in the airliner that was bombed in Egypt.
