Actually, it is correct to say "U.S.-led" because the US did instigate
this war, even though NATO has also had a role, and this does not
contradict multilateralism. And the war on Iraq was also
"multilateral" in the sense that the US was able to get a number of
other countries to contribute troops, by way of various bribes and
inducements. This was called "the coalition of the willing" or "the
coalition of the billing", by some. So I think this change is not
really necessary.<br>

I included the ANSWER-led event we endorsed at the bottom. Ater the 7th<br>
we can take this off and make the main headline bigger.<br>
<br>
Also, I said "U.S.-led" in the description of the ANSWER event. This<br>
might be better phrased as "U.S./NATO." Over the past few days there<br>
have been a bunch of news articles stressing the NATO role in<br>
Afghanistan. Of course the Democrats have generally favored a more<br>
"multilateral" strategy for imperialist domination and plunder.<br>
