BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT LULA DA SILVA WITH A CAP OF THE LANDLESS MOVEMENT, 2003-07-02 (photo)

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, with a cap and a ball given to him by Landless Movement (MST) workers, walks past the government leader in the Senate Aloizio Mercadante, in Brasilia, July 2, 2003. Lula da Silva held an emergency meeting with the nation's landless movement as armed conflict between peasants and landowners threatened to break out on his doorstep. The standoff 40 km (25 miles) from the presidential palace is just part of a wave of looting, blockades and protests by Brazil's Landless Workers Movement, or MST, to force Lula to make good on promises to give land to Brazil's rural poor.
