DESCRIPTION:"Iraq, Iran & the Bush Agenda: The Danger of Wider War, the Challenge of 
 Preventing It, and the Urgency of a New Global Dynamic" \nSpeech and 
 Discussion by Larry Everest, write for Revolution Newspaper and author of 
 Oil, Power & Empire: Iraq and the US Global Agenda \n\nThe talk will 
 highlight the growing danger of ongoing war in Iraq and escalation to Iran, 
 rooted in an analysis of the specifics of the Bush global agenda, as well 
 as the deeper social, political and economic forces (in the US and 
 globally) that have given rise to it -- and the particularity of the 
 historic moment today. It will also assess the urgent need for, the 
 obstacles to, and the potential for a new wave of resistance capable of 
 reversing the Bush agenda and creating a new global political and 
 ideological dynamic. \nThis event is wheelchair accessible. \n**** \nLarry 
 Everest is the author of Oil, Power & Empire: Iraq and the U.S. Global
