YES, increase the problem in order to bring his own solution, that Sarkozy's policy. (Or perhaps he was just too much influenced by Urban Guerrilla ! :p )

But Sarkozy seems to be too extremist for French people. Weeks ago he was still the best candidate for the next presidency. Now, our prime minister De Villepin who looks more moderate hold the pole position. He looks moderate but he's keeping Sarkozy in his governement...
We're even better than US : We'll only have the choice between two members of the same political party ! French left wing is KO.

You're right, it's a policing problem, but instead of taking preventive humanist measures, too many politicians fight against each other in steril political speeches when it's too late (that's what I wanted to say in "building political theories to explain them"), and put another social pressure to contain people.
We've been waiting for years our suburbs blast.

I don't think French people are SO racist. The main problems are unemployment, education, difference of cultures (of social classes or of immigration).

Speaking with foreign people living in France, French way of thinking is quite negative. We haven't got US "self made man" spirit.
