Obviously it's good to know who you're striking together with. As long as
you march separately it's OK.

In a democratic and popular issue like war on Iraq, it's time for a front
with the Devil and his Grandmother to stop the imperialist aggression. Over
the Malvinas we were in a front with the Galtieri butchers against British
imperialism, here we're in a front with Saddam Hussein and his butchers
against US imperialism, goddamit. But there's no way the Devil and his
folks should be allowed to set the agenda or limit our explanations and
contacts within the protest movement.

The reports on Secretary of State Albright's appearance at the University
of South Carolina -- total sanitization of a limited audience -- show the
effect the popular expressions of anger and dissent at Columbus are already
having.

Democracy -- shamocracy.

Cheers,

Hugh
