Re: Thousands protest Barak in Chicago

I was at that protest. It was freezing cold, windy, lightly snowing at
times. The Chicago media lied, as usual, reporting that there were
"hundreds" of protestors.  It was definitely at least a couple of thousand,
maybe more. The seriousness of the protestors was inspiring. The police were
not accustomed to dealing with protestors who were so committed, determined,
and focused. Issues of the "Middle East" will continue to be in the front;
there continue to be attacks against Iraq even as some of the former U.S.
"allies" are now trading more with Saddam. An understanding of imperialism
is crucial if a movement to end the suppression and exploitation of the
Palestinians and all the oppressed people of the "Middle East" is to be
successful.
