WHEN: Saturday, December 6, 3pm

WHY: The US occupation of Iraq gets bloodier every week. Guerilla resistance has inflicted dozens of casualties in the last month. The US military has renewed its “shock and awe” campaign, using 2,000 pound bombs to intimidate the Iraqi people. All of this has produced a political crisis for the Bush Administration's plans in the Middle East.

Join in a discussion with Ahmed Shawki, editor of the ISR, about empire and resistance in the Persian Gulf

and Middle East today.
