The citizens of French capital city Paris have shown remarkable unison putting all national and international politicians in the shadows. That is the correct relationship as the global leadership has failed after the 9/11 attacks on the US and in the aftermath the delusion of George Bush’s War on Terror. A great victory as nearly a million people march for peace and against acts of terror. Le Place de Republique and the route to Place de National are covered with people, literally cheek-to-cheek. Jewish unite with the Muslim French nationals, Christians and agnostics marching side by side along Avenue de Voltaire.
