This is really sad. It seems like the main theory is that it's an inside job (France is doing it to itself, specifically people disgruntled by the government and by the Olympics). France has a HUGE culture of self-hate (although if you're not French and you criticize France then that's not acceptable suddenly). Any semblance of appreciation is often seen as being nationalist or "too far right". On the other hand I don't think too much nationalism is good for a country, but at what point do people start appreciating what they have and start contributing at how France look for outsiders? I really wish we were more welcoming people as a whole, and less self-sabotaging.
