Lest anyone think Cancun doesn't relate to them, note how she ties globalization and Iraq together:



" . . . when Washington started handing out reconstruction contracts in Iraq, veterans of the globalisation debate spotted the underlying agenda in the familiar names of deregulation and privatisation pushers Bechtel and Halliburton. If these guys are leading the charge, it means Iraq is being sold off, not rebuilt. Even those who opposed the war exclusively for how it was waged (without UN approval, with insufficient evidence of WMDs) now cannot help but see why it was waged: to implement the same policies being protested in Cancun - mass privatisation, unrestricted access for multinationals and drastic public sector cutbacks."
