Not quite such a silly idea. We need more linkage between the struggle of the multitude in different countries even if they are in very different economic situations.
As Thomas notes, the demonstrations in Argentina are not entirely negative by any means, just because a national revolution against the IMF is not possible.
We need more linkage between say the demonstrators in Seattle and those in Buenos Aires.

Now back to the Republicans, we have a minor turning point in world history at the moment. The dominant opinion in the Bush administration appears to want a show down with Iraq within the next few months. Colin Powell is against it, as is Tony Blair and the Europeans. We are seeing an interpentetration of world politics that reflects the interpenetration of world finance capital.
