mb - interactive.wsj.com probably needs wsji subscription, but is on today's WSJ print editorial page. "Globalization went on trial in southern France last weekend alongside 10 vandals who pillaged a McDonald's restaurant there, led by the now famous Jose Bove. The 10 accused do not contest the fact that they willfully attacked the fast-food outlet, causing more than $100,000 of damage...." "...Mr. Bove's name is being mooted as a potential presidential candidate in 2002, and his moral victory this weekend won't hurt. The Bakunin-quoting former hippie who only became a farmer in 1975 as a political act has shown that he understands how to manipulate symbols, fears and public opinion. Even if he doesn't run for president of France, the world should realize that it must from now on learn how to deal with this French child of Seattle." Regards, Don
