Hi Mike,

I'll forward your letter to some of our contacts in
Palestine and the broader community. 

This is a recurring problem, and not just with
imc-Jerusalem. If you follow the discussions going on
within and around the new-imc working group, you'll see
that it keeps being reproduced by our American and
European imc colleagues all over the world, who keep
insisting to set up imc "sites" without building a
political relationship with collectively oriented
people - reliable radical activists - in each
community.

I fear that now this problem is being reproduced in the
case of imc-Baghdad. There is a lot of interest to
generate (and to spend) funds, and to create accees to
(mostly irrelevant) technology, alongside with a
fantastic reluctance to talk politics among the
European and American imc- colleagues who are involved
in that project. And we still have not heard a single
word from any Iraqi voices on the politics of that
project. The project does not even take a solid stance
against the US/UK invasion and occupation of Iraq!

I'm including a copy of this letter to 2 imc groups in
our Middle East region which include individuals who
are active on the Palestine issues locally (and to
imc-baghdad).
And I'm also re-printing below a plea for techical help
from Bilal, which seems to have been ignored for quite
a while. 

Access to the internet is not very reliable in
Palestine due to the Israeli military operations and
collective punishment policies, so we'll have to be
somewhat patient in waiting for some responses.
