How well attended this forum will be rests esentially with the willingness of the affiliated groups to encourage their members to attend as PANA has few individual members and is essentially an alliance of groups. It is a date however that should be marked if only because the war now spreads from Palestine to Pakistan and there is no sign that the new ruler of the American Empire is really prepared to save not only the people in the region but his own people and country by ending the war.
