Does any of this look familiar? I'd like to see someone trying to put a daisy on the end of my khuk...

When the shooting war starts in Iraq, radical anti-war activists say they plan to move from peaceful protests to riots, destruction of property and other means to "disrupt the normal flow of life" in America. That's the threat from organizer Leslie Cagan, long-time Communist head of the United for Peace and Justice Coalition.
Demonstrations are planned for DC, NY, SF and other major cities. A group called Direct Action to Stop the War, based in SF, is planning to block streets and highways in an effort to bring the war home to Americans, according to G2 Bulletin.
Similar plans are being made in Great Britain ? the other major ally in the likely conflict with Iraq.
"We want people to walk out of their offices, strike, sit down, occupy buildings, demonstrate, take direct action and do whatever they think fit the moment war starts," said the Stop the War Coalition. "We want to completely close down Whitehall and prevent the MoD going to work."
"We think the next phase will see an escalation of tactics," said International Answer, an umbrella organization dominated by the Communist Workers World Party. "We're not saying the next phase will or will not be violent. But you'll see more people doing sit-ins and other forms of civil disobedience."
