The resistance is growing to the US occupation of Iraq and the international revolt against corporate globalization continues, from Europe to Latin America to Africa. On September 13, the WTO will meet in Cancun, Mexico to discuss the most effective means by which to make the poor pay for the mess the rich have created. Meanwhile, Bush and Co. will use the two year anniversary of 911 to step up their "war on terror" rhetoric and try to make us all forget that they lied to get us into the war on Iraq. If Bush's vision of the future makes you sick, come join a discussion about how we can fight for a better world!
