关于图努·瓦拉达拉贾恩对伯纳德-亨利·列维的采访（《法国“濒临内战””，周末采访，10月24日）：法国有在街头解决政治问题而不分析不满根源的历史。失控的支出、巨额债务、更短的工作周以及被认为不足的慷慨福利，才是真正的问题，而非单纯的巴勒斯坦国旗。
Regarding Tunku Varadarajan’s interview with Bernard-Henri Lévy (“France ‘on the Brink of Civil War,’ ’’ Weekend Interview, Oct. 24): France has a history of settling political issues in the streets without analyzing the root causes of the discontent. Out-of-control spending, significant debt, shorter work weeks and generous benefits deemed inadequate are the real issues rather than simply Palestinian flags.
列维先生说得对，类似的骚动正蔓延至美国。或许正是效仿法国和其他欧洲国家的财政模式，才让我们如今欠下数万亿债务，社保和医保资金也即将耗尽。
Mr. Lévy is correct that similar unrest is headed to America. Perhaps following the financial example of France and other European countries is why we are now trillions in debt and running out of Social Security and Medicare funding.
