Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

I will put Seidman and Fernandez on my reading list, but I remain totally from Missouri on the charges of CNT forced labor, and I think the portrayal of anarchist enthusiasm for Fidel is very overstated. I'm curious which "archives" Seidman got his facts from.
There is a tendency to focus on radical movements abroad due to impotency at home, but it isn't universal. Did you read our story about the Movement for Justice in El Barrio? They are a fine example of combining solidarity efforts with the Zapatistas and actually bringing the praxis of neo-zapatismo to bear in local struggles.
Most of the LES squatters were working-class, and by no means were they all "fregan" types. (I only use the past tense because now they are legal homesteaders.) You are painting with pretty broad strokes there, buddy.
Seattle marked the emergence of the anti-globalization movement, not its end. It is true the movement never quite equalled the power and effectiveness of Seattle, but big mobilizations continued at every globalization summit at least through the Genoa G8 summit in the summer of '01. They didn't do too badly at the Edinburgh G8 summit in '05, and we'll see how they do Hokkaido this year.

The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

An Historical Guide Through the Balkan Labyrinth
The Balkan region is intensely multicultural - a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
