Alternatives instead of Corrections

"Politics has actually never lost this control. The Washington Consensus is a purely political project.. With the slogan `Another World is Possible', the movement makes a far-reaching claim. It fights for a new social, economic, political and democratic order all over the world.. Alternative aims at changing the system, not at corrections within the system.."

This is not the case in Baghdad. After the sun has set, the hot sidewalks and streets emanate waves of heat for several hours, as if sighing in relief.
