Reuters: Bush Sarkozy Lied, People Died

At Dan Riehl's site:

Life has not improved for the inhabitants of France's poor, ethnically diverse suburbs since the riots of 2005, despite millions of euros in cash pledges and President Nicolas Sarkozy's election promises.

...

"Nothing has changed," said Mehdi Bigaderne, a spokesman for ACLEFEU, an association helping youths in Clichy-sous-Bois.

"I don't think they learnt any lessons from 2005."

So let me get this straight: Since Sarkozy took office six months ago, he has not, in fact, managed to educate the uneducated, employ the unemployable, nor soothe the perpetually outraged?

I'm interested in the "lessons from 2005," as Mehdi Bigaderne believes them to be. Would those lessons be something along the lines of "Give arsonists and killers whatever they want?"
