Last week's massacre in Paris was not, as almost every writer mistakenly 
claimed, the worst atrocity in the City Of Light since World War II. As the 
renowned Mideast expert Robert Fisk quickly pointed out, an even worse atrocity 
occurred in Paris 54 years ago, on Oct 17, 1961 ... Their offspring form 
today's underclass in France: poor, living in ghettos, victims of racism and 
bigotry against Muslims, unable to find work, steeped in petty crime and filled 
by sense of bitter hopelessness. The Algerian War fought over 50 years ago has 
been forgotten in the West. But not by Europe's or North Africa's Muslims. Nor 
its sequel, Algeria's gruesome civil war in the 1990 that killed hundreds of 
thousands. Back then, I warned it would one day spill over into Europe.
