The fact that these protests are being coordinated worldwide

What?!? You mean these aren't spontaneous eruptions of anti-American hatred?

BTW...coordinated by whom???

Contribution to the International Communist Seminar

Fifth paragraph from the bottom, article dated April 15, 2002:

On April 5, 10,000 people demonstrated for the Palestinians in New York in a demonstration called by the ANSWER coalition. On April 12, mosques and Islamic centers in New York brought out 20,000. On April 20, well over 100,000 people marched in Washington DC and 35,000 in San Francisco in the largest pro-Palestinian demonstration in U.S. history.

There was a "Social Forum" in Brazil last month, and many of the speakers at many of the rallies (including the one here in Austin) were at that Socialist anti-American gabfest.

When I was in Munich at the protest last week, the Communist party was at the rally. And as many know, ANSWER is tied tot eh Socialist Workers party ...

I think the coordination is coming from several left-wing groups, the same one that organize the 'anti-globalization' rallies, that are part of Socialists International.
