Just what is it with the people of Detroit?

What in the world has so terrified them that they abandoned so much that was once the American Dream? So much of what was their history?

What is it that has so debased their lives--that caused them to just 'walk away'?

And why is it that once-beautiful Dearborn has become a Moslem stronghold in the United States of America, and is now known by many as "Dearbornistan"?

Religion of Peace? NOT!!

Please click on that link and look...closely...at the destruction.

Do not cry, though that is easy to do.

And...merci beaucoup, Mssrs Marchand et Meffre, pour les photos extraordinaire!
