9857 [lbo-talk] Why I Skip Anti-Globalization Protests -- rank: 1000
Chuck0: > If you dismiss the property destruction at Seattle, then you just > don't get how that played an important role in the overall success > of Seattle. Huh? I was there all week and property destruction was minimal. A few smashed windows, and a circle-A spray-painted on a cop car (which was ballsy and marvellous).

9859 [lbo-talk] Marjane Satrapi: likes the West for the freedom to work, wanted Kerry to win -- rank: 1000
<http://www.bookslut.com/features/2004_10_003261.php> An Interview with Marjane Satrapi Anyone who read Marjane Satrapi s simple and evocative graphic novel, Persepolis, felt the sting of its final page. In Satrapi s first installment of her memoir of Iranian life before, during and after the 1979 revolution, she chose to end with the image of our fourteen- year-old heroine -- the cartoon Marjane -- with her hands pressed against airport glass as her father carried away her fainting mo ...

I suppose. Today's FT has an article on how the Afghan population is cheering the return of capital punishment as an antidote to criminal anarchy (the bad kind of anarchy, of course). Some are even calling for public executions, not seen since the da ...

[from Eric Lee's LabourStart] As many of you will be aware, jailed Iranian labour activist Mansour Osanloo faced the loss of vision in one eye while the regime refused him medical treatment.

The more than 10,000 messages you sent to the government in Tehran had a ...
