Foes of Globalization in Europe Vow to Press Ahead

Anti-globalization activists in Europe say they will press forward

with their protests. Some of them argue that the tragedy on Tuesday

came about as a direct result of U.S. foreign policy and that

capitalism is to blame for the lack of security in the world.

Anti-globalization types in the U.S., however, voiced concerns that

authorities would be quick to crack down on protests and categorize

them as a form of terrorism. (Thankfully, even the most radical

activists said they didn't condone the terrorist attacks on Tuesday.)

The activists drew sharp distinctions between vandalism against

private property owned by corporations, which some of them supported,

and violence against people, which all of them condemned.
