Globalization protester in Finland? As Friedman has written, at the root of AQ's problems may lie unconscious disenchantment with globalization, an interesting view that is definitely worth thinking about.

just my opinion : they may not be linked to the same organization, but they seem linked to the objective of causing economic damage. Folks learnt what economic damage can do, after 9/11. If it is the work of al Qaeda or fellow-travellers, they certainly have resorted to using the third-string bench warmers. I mean, blowing up a FRENCH oil tanker and a FINNISH mall and an INDONESIAN Bali resort packed with tourists from all over? France, Finland, and Indonesia. Three countries that are right up there in the War Against Terror. Striking a real blow for Islam, they are. Brilliant strategists are attacking the indifferent, neutral, or downright fundamentalist-friendly nations. Nice way to make friends. Derek
