Everywhere Clinton has gone in the past month there have been large protests against his presence and the imperial hubris that presence represents. In Turkey, protestors were attacked by police and brutally beaten. In Greece, a similar scenario occurred. And so on around the world. If I were an American citizen who didn't know better, I might be asking myself why these protests were occurring.
Life is only good and certain right now if one is at the top.
The protestors in Seattle know this, no matter what their political stripe. They know that decisions that affect everything from the air we breathe and the wages we receive to the food we eat and the medicine we're prescribed are being made by the WTO cabal. They are pissed. This should be our goal too. The anger expressed by these folks is the anger we all feel.
