Don't miss these two topical events coming up in Greensboro.

From the current "progressive" anti-war side:

Event - USA Patriot Act and You. A North Carolina Statewide Meeting
Event:	USA Patriot Act and You. A North Carolina Statewide Meeting
Date:	November 22, 2003 (Saturday)
Time:	06:00 PM - 09:00 PM
Location:	Glenwood Recreation Center

From the side that has been fighting War hawks in Washington for over 142 years:

Presentation Topic: "Rethinking Lincoln" November 14th and 15th Comfort Suites Greensboro"

NOTE: One of the Rethinking Lincoln speakers is Thomas DiLorenzo, contributing editor for FEE, author of The Real Lincoln and writer of my latest favorite article (penned in 1994) describing our current economic situation in the US. I have to get Ed Cone to join me for DiLorenzo's talk on Saturday, "Why Lincoln went to War."

You wouldn't think communists, libertarians and Southern partisans would have much in common but like politics, War makes for strange bedfellows.

Too Fast, Too Furious

BAGHDAD, Nov. 12 Washington Post

�But now they are getting worried about retribution from them [the insurgents] more than us.�

As L. Paul Bremer, the top U.S. occupation official for Iraq, put it after a meeting at the White House on Wednesday, �They�ve tried to target people who cooperate with us: Iraqis, they�ve killed judges, they try to kill policemen.� He added: �I don�t think that that�s going to work.�

BAGDAD, Nov. 13 At least 29 dead in suicide bombing of Italian Police base
