This Rioting Only Proves That We Must Work Harder At Our Failed Approach!

From Reuters:

With every night of violent rioting that scars France’s rundown suburbs, more and more French say their distinctive model of integration, based on the revolutionary ideal of equality for all, has failed.

But President Jacques Chirac and his conservative (! – ed.) allies are unlikely to join the critics, as that would mean accepting the approach France considers superior is no better than integration policies abroad.

Ignored: the only major French politician who thinks there is a problem:

When (Interior Minister Nicolas) Sarkozy says the best social system is the one that produces jobs and that the French model is not doing that, his comments are met not with approval but retorts that the French model is fine and needs only to be better applied.

“Flexible” and “adaptable” were originally French words; but it seems only rigide is left.
