[IMC-US] PROPOSED: Arafat on the verge of death

[Andy Pyle]

Read the mission statement.  us.indy is not supposed to be an American Chauvinist
newsletter for the in-crowd already familiar with the entire Indymedia network. The casual
browser who comes there should get a good jolt of internationalism.  We do not need to
reinforce the tunnel vision of USians who only want to look at the US and not at what
"their"  country is doing in the world.

And we don't have to mention the US connection in every story either.  If we did it would
sound like the RCP having to mention Bob Avakian in every story, speech, etc.  The
cumulative coverage of the site will make the US connection clear.
