WB/IMF protests good for democracy

Things must be going pretty well. Usually when I see pictures of people tying each other together, being pepper sprayed by the police, or getting arrested by the hundreds, I think of images from the 60s, when activists protested the draft or school segregation or marched for women's rights. The demonstrators in Washington are protesting the policies of an international organization created to fight poverty and a super-national lending agency designed to contain financial crises. Are there really no better targets?
