Paradise Lost? Immigrants fuel violent scuffles in Sweden

Six nights of riots in a country, listed as 'the best-governed in the world.' Sweden's police say the violence in Stockholm has now been curbed, although dozens of cars were still torched in poor suburbs. It was almost a week of rioting, with masked protesters vandalizing the city. And their anger is fuelled by unemployment and poverty among immigrants, who feel they're being pushed to the edge of society.
