"It was better than a film. It made them dream," she says. "In gaming you can shoot again and again, but this was real. And you can do that for god! They found it fantastic."

Jihadists stalk the French Riviera because the french government long ago abdicated their responsibilities, and are now, for all intents and purposes, illegitimate. And like the mafia, camorra, or red imported fire ants, once established, you cannot get rid of them.
