More on Halliburton Protest

Here are some links:

• Halliburton Watch--about as anti-Halliburton as you could want. Not very fair-minded.
• Antiwarfair Coalition--frame based site. Here I learned that some protesters will be camping at Lake Humphreys Tuesday night. The most useful of these sites to learn about the Duncan protest.
• Houston Global Awareness Collective--rather stale, not updated since December 2005. Blah blah 'corporate fat cats' blah blah 'end the US wars for empire'...

Characterizing US motives as 'imperialism' makes y'all sound like such a tired, irrelevant leftists. As progressives, our rhetoric should reflect the world we wish to create, and therefore should engage with the values that even Bush Administration neo-cons parrot--'democracy in the Middle East'--unless we really think the world would be a better place with thugs like Saddam Hussein in power. We actually think the world would be a better place if United States policy-makers had never supported thugs like Saddam Hussein.

Guest speakers at the Duncan demonstration:
Maureen Haver - Houston Global Awareness Collective
Pratap Chatterjee - CorpWatch
Robert Guimaraes Vasquez - AIDESEP
Rev. Peter Johnson - NOLA

Jerome Segers, imprisoned at Antwerp, 1551: "Why then do you not go into Turkey, and baptize the Turks; if thereby men become believers, as you say, they would all become believers."

They [the priests interrogating Jerome] replied: "Though the Turks sould be baptized, they would still remain Turks."
