But now that terror attacks from militants based in Pakistan-controlled territory have brought the South Asian rivals to the brink of war, there's a growing fear that Musharraf may instead turn out to be Pakistan's Yasser Arafat - a domestically weak leader caught between his obligations to the West and to his neighbors...

In Paris, opponents of surprise presidential runner-up Jean-Marie Le Pen plan to confront the far-right nationalist as he leads his annual march in honor of Joan of Arc. Meanwhile, Londoners are braced for a rematch, complete with footballs, between globalization foes and the police who penned them in at Oxford Circus last year. Well, what about labor? It's the reason for the holiday, after...
