VICTORY TO THE INTIFADA!

I held a big banner once that said that on it as well as 'Victory to the Iraqi Resistance' on a London anti-war demo a few years back with a political youth group. One older man kept trailing us trying to sell Freedom or an AF magazine or something like that.

Whats the Third World?

For me it's more about its history of resistance. Not the climate.

Except they aren't. I know what the Irish mean by a sunny sky, they mean a sort of miserable grey.
