Guns Guns Guns, Now Paris!

These disenfranchised Franco-Algerians are easy pickings for groups like Al Qaeda.

I just wonder how much (philosophically) you need to give to certain people to keep them feeling enfranchised. I raise two kids and I almost spoiled the older one (now 7) by giving him too much (toys and stuff). He got the point and started playing the drama of a disenfranchised guy each time he wanted another unnecessary thing. At some point his every other phrase would start with something like "It's a pity that..." I reckon these two just didn't have enough honest disciplining from their parents or the French government.

I recommend watching "The Battle of Algiers" for a little historical perspective. As well as understanding Fraces role in hostilities with the Muslim (Saracen) world starting from the second crusade.

A great movie, well made from the artistic standpoint and with a powerful message, too.
