Liberalism: Opiate of the West?

Here's a great story on NRO by John Derbyshire talking about the French riots. I think the riots are an example of why socialistic economic policies are abject failures, especially in the face of immigration and social change. Others (the mainstream media) claim that racism and poverty (which must of course be combatted by socialism) are the tickets. Derbyshire has a nice article.

Supporting the idea that muslims have a better life in the U.S. where they are "discriminated against" but at least have jobs, is this article. It has some interesting stats, although I don't necessarily agree with all the conclusions.
