This was interesting:
"The International Council from the Social Forum has to sit down now and ask itself whether they should have let Chavez hijack this forum."
Despite some grumblings about the prominent role of President Chavez, most delegates spoke highly of his contribution to their struggle against 'neo-liberalism' and capitalism.
"Of course Chavez was bound to be a dominant figure here," said Ricardo Rojas, an Ecuadorean trade unionist.
"But he is the leader of Latin America. He is the only one who can stand up to Bush. So if we have to listen to his speeches for a few hours, that's a small price to pay."
They don't know what they want, only what they're against. Groups like this are ripe for a "leader" to take charge and wreak holy havoc.

Yep! The fight continues ....
It seems that every Continent, every country goes through an historical learning process, doesn't it? Countries keep making the same mistakes over and over again, not learning from history.
... keep up the good fight!
