Of course it's war. It's probably the first war that brings people of different countries, ethnic groups, classes and religions together to fight it. After all these centuries we finally have a war that is focused on the group that has always been the enemy to us all.

Never refer to these people as our leaders - we do not follow them. Never have sympathy for shareholders - they are the people who have moral responsibility for the actions of the corporations although they are protected from having legal responsibility by a whole series of unjust laws. Never have respect for the law or the security forces in countries who have dealings with IMF/World Bank (and that means everywhere except Cuba and North Korea) - they are not there for you, they are there for the IMF/World Bank. Never refer to the dollar economy - these people already have too many dollars, now they want every last dime. It is the dime economy and, to most of us, it's not worth that. Never refer to 3rd World countries as developing nations - that is a euphemism used to cover the back of the IMF: the debt repayments of those nations prevent them from developing. Never believe a politician - they have all broken promises or watered down to nothingness the promises they have made from London to Washington to Mexico City. So have the IMF.

You say we will win - we already are. If those people cannot meet together in a place accessible to those they purport to govern then their mandate to govern is eroded and that erosion is extremely visible. The more people who know that the President of the U$A is funded by known criminals against humanity, the more their disgust with the system will grow. Chocolate and cocoa corporations are among the most prominent of the many corporations who employ slaves - the disgust will grow as more people know this. They have to be told - always articulate at least one of the consequences of IMF policies when people ask why.

Carlo Giuliani was almost not the first person killed in our war. In Gothenberg, one demonstrator was inches away from being killed on the night of the 3 shootings. I was told that a television programme shown on Swedish TV on Tuesday night contains a sequence that shows a bullet missing a person's head by inches and hitting a lamp post next to him. There is no law any more. There is no point in respecting what law purports to be. We are not responsible for this situation: we did not introduce their policies, we have not taken any hostages, we have not used weapons that kill. They declared war on us. They cannot win. Of course we are in a war. We are winning it.
