As De Villepin mentionned, France has never switched to a security-focused mindset. As long as we have our social net to circunvent the disastrous drawbacks of neoliberalism, I highly doubt we will ever have to.
Even the problem of young poor french extremists will be solved.

And give them hope. But that's true of every nations, western or not.
