Brennt Paris?

Le Monde has a report that the Eiffel Tower is on the Islamofascist hit list, Portuguese air traffic controllers having picked up radio chatter to that effect.

One does not have to be a strict Freudian to mull on quite why tall buildings seem such a popular target.

Meanwhile, if Wikipedia is to be believed, the design for the Tower was offered to Barcelona first.

Does that explain why when the Enterprise goes to Paris in the 24th century the Eiffel Tower is shiny? Perhaps it will be rebuilt in a more eye-catching metal.
