Naomi Klein. Guardian 3.3.03, p. 20. Klein discusses civil disobedience. She considers the response expected by the Americans from the Iraqi people who are predicted to "refuse to obey orders or to participate in an unjust war" when the US invades. Given the US abandonment of the anti-Sadam rebels during the last Gulf war she is "sceptical" of this scenario. She also discusses another US initiative in San Francisco, where a coalition of anti-war groups is calling for a strike the day after the invasion begins: "Don't go to work or school. Call in sick, walk out. We will impose real economic, social and political costs and stop business as usual until the war stops."
