News & Letters, Lead Crossroads for movement
against global capital There is no better measure of the accomplishments and contradictions of the movements against global capital than the World Social Forum held in January in Porto Alegre, Brazil. An eyewitness report by Peter Hudis tells what happened in the liberatory space which nevertheless is struggling to clarify its purpose. Editorial: Iraq
after the elections Despite the reactionary resistance which take the lives of
ordinary Iraqis and the oppressive U.S. occupation, the Iraqi people took a step
governing their own affairs in the January elections. Now more than ever is the
time to support the forces that can chart a new path in Iraq: the women,
