Once the so-called antiwar movement gets it straight that –all the scandals and facts notwithstanding– that there is no significant *movement* within the U.S. to end our Mideast (or other) wars, we’ll/they’ll have a chance to make something gell, accomplish something lasting. Maybe. It’s a hard concept for well-meaning activists to grasp, but arguably our greatest challenge, made infinitely more difficult by the incessant number of articles and books focusing on exposes, *grand* minutia and/or venting. Contrary to popular belief, the hordes of authors serving as Antiwar Humor Whores don’t help either.

Whadda sales bitch!

$1350.00? That’s a lotta moolah in bolívars on Venezuela’s boulevards. FYI, I can do much better than the highly-touted Global Exchange is doing, if anyone’s interested in attending the upcoming World Social Forum in South America. Like…how do you like half-price? See their offerings at http://www.globalexchange.org/tours/722.html, and then see me.
