I agree that Sarkozy's solutions are more seducing. But I also think his approach is simplistic and will not work... If I can make a far fetched comparison, I'd compare Sarkozy's method in the suburbs to George Bush's in Iraq. As things are going worse and worse, they just send more bombs and soldiers/policemen at the problem, refusing to see that it only feeds the problem.
I mean, sure the "racaille" need to be punished, and the sentences have to be applied more quickly than currently. But if nothing is done to improve the relationship between the youth and the police at the same time, then for each guy sent to prison, 2 others will become criminals.
