[Oct. 17 Seattle] poster draft

[Phil West]

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.
