Depends on what you mean by "success", I suppose.
Take for example all the IMF/WB protests we had. Those orgs suddenly felt a need to "reform", as silly as those "reforms" are--but isn't that a small victory?
I mean I get frustrated that they only thing I seem able to do is wave around a sign that says "No war!"....But I hope that somehow, somewhere, folks outside the converted will begin to think about the absurdity of this war. Not a "revolutionary" hope, but then again the hope for "revolution" is long off. I takes whats I can gets. --- Sent from UnionMail Service [http://mail.union.org.za]
