Fully agree. Currently, the french have a tendancy to look for responsibility first. That was done in that case and that was done when we lost 10 soldiers in Afghanistan. They jump to conclusions before hand. Saddly it's equally true for our politicians and governments. Hopefully, I have the feeling that it is not the case anymore with the population. As a result, we distrust our medias and our politicians.
