October 12&13:
Washington, D.C: A new report published by the Washington Post is stating that a team of American and Iraqi epidemologists have discovered that some 665,000 innocent Iraqis have died unnecessarily as a result of the U.S. invasion and occupation of that country since March of 2003. While the report points out that much of this is due to the sectarian violence which continues to escalate in that country, it makes clear that none of it would have occurred had the United States not invaded.

THE WORLD CAN'T WAIT! Arkansas
08 Oct 2006
The protest in Little Rock, AR was productive even though we did not have as many protestors. I was on a major local radio station the night before at 8pm telling listeners the time and place and 100 flyers went out with the major paper the morning of but we didnt get any participation from those. Half the people that showed up were people who emailed me about the event the night before and had just found out about it. We had problems getting a permit from the city Thursday so just went on to the capital and started it. The events coordinator for the capital came out and said he couldn't give us his opinion on what we were doing but we were welcome anytime and could just call him and tell him we were coming. Even the capitol patrol cop gave us the thumbs up.

COURAGE AND RESISTANCE IN OAXACA AND MEXICO CITY
10 Sep 2006
Editor's note: The following article, originally published on August 30 is somewhat out of date in that Mexico's presidential election has been decided by that country's election tribunal in favor of conservative candidate Felipe Calderón. Still, the supporters of López Obrador yet cry out for justice and the struggle against tyranny is yet unfolding in Oaxaca. Mexico's future remains very uncertain.News :: International Relations
