The Barbarians at the Gates of Paris
Do you find yourself wondering about the nature of the tinder for the firestorm that engulfed France? And whether that orgy of violence and rioting has extinquished itself -- or merely simmers?
This article, by one of my favorite writers, Theodore Dalrymple (a nom de plume), antecedes the riots by some 3 years; it not only explains the conditions that caused the rioting, it predicts the consequences of those conditions -- the riots themselves.
As weekend reading goes, you would be hard-pressed to find better.
