FEATURES:

VIETNAM SYNDROME, THE PEACE MOVEMENT AND THE U.S. LEFT
The anti-Vietnam war movement produced a political perspective that went far 
beyond
knee-jerk self-interest, despite the military draft. Ethan Young examines why 
opposition
is so much quieter now than in the Â?60s and Â?70s.

THE RESERVE ARMY OF FRANCE'S BANLIEUES   
With the riots in the deprived outer suburbs of Paris we are witnessing a return
to a time when the fault line ran between the people of no property and the 
propertied
class. Ronald van Raak argues that it's time for Marx.

INTERNATIONAL

FRANCE TAKES TO THE STREETS
The vast opposition to the French Labour bill is intrinsically connected with 
the
general crisis of the system, the impact of globalization and of European 
integration.
But the radical left has yet to connect with this new social movement, according
to Bruno Drweski. 

PARIS COMES TO KURDISTAN
Sinan Esim reports that those who have nothing to lose but their chains have 
rebelled
in Diyarbakir in the same manner as in Paris. These uprisings are threatening 
the
Kurdish bourgeoisie and increasing the pressure on a Turkish government and 
military
debilitated by its EU desires and the disastrous impact of the U.S. Iraq war. 

EU ADOPTS BUSH-STYLE IMMIGRATION STRATEGIES
The effects of labor migration from the former Soviet bloc countries of central 
and eastern Europe present problems for the labor movement and the left in the 
host
economies of the west. That it occurs at a time of rising racism and far right 
political
activity adds to the crisis, writes Steve McGiffen, as African migrants have 
become
scapegoats for the problems of the EU's mismanaged and increasingly deregulated 
economies.

NORTH AMERICA

U.S. ACTIVISTS STORM CIA AIRLINE
Patrick OÂ?Neil tells what happened when activists tried to deliver an 
indictment
to Aero Contractors, the North Carolina company that provides pilots for 
corporate
jets the Central Intelligence Agency used for "extraordinary rendition."

REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS IN ACTION 
Strike speaks with Karen Kubby, Executive Director of the Emma Goldman Clinic in
Iowa City, Iowa.
