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.

Not so far fetched as you might think. When people are desperate they look for quick answers. Post 9/11 I think must of us can understand that the US was feeling vunerable and Bush was saying exactly what they wanted to hear (wipe out the terrorists etc.....)
Similar with Sarkozy he is saying alot of things French people are thinking. More worrying look Jean Marie Le pen. I know French people who whilst laughing at him will say that he sometimes says things that are true (referring to immigration ).
I have to say after my
sejour in Strasbourg I finally understand why people feel so worried and turn to people like this. To me its completely understandable.
